We sampled several wines and were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. My friend chose the Moussaka for her meal, while I selected the Lemon Grilled Chicken. Both were excellent! We were a little confused initially because you order both food & wine at the counter, then food is delivered to your table. It was a little congested with people not understanding the process. Overall a fun experience, and I'm sure we'll be back!

I wish them luck, but I wish they were more conscientious about their communications to potential customers.

The grounds are beautiful, you can pick muscadines ($15) and they sell everything from watermelon salsa with free samples, to Cherry Cola wine (black cherries and sweet red for $18.95). I'm partial to sweet so I was in heaven! There weren't many patrons on Labor Day eve. It's a nice spot to be romantic, gather with friends or celebrate solo. They have a nice selection of Blush, White, Red, White and Fruit wines. My favorite was the Southern Sangria which features muscadines, blueberries & blackberries ($16.95). Treat yourself to Pina Colada and yummy Strawberry slushies and flights. 8 oz. is $7.95. $12.95 for 16 oz. to-go. A little pricey but delish. Sip while strolling the picturesque grounds. Or be fancy and have a glass of wine ($10). There's a wine club, specialty wines and food if you're hungry. Hummus plate $15, cheese plate $17, charcuterie $18 etc. Shoutout to Stephanie! She has good energy, takes great pics and made me feel like a VIP. I highly recommend and will return!

There are kids books near the fireplace as well, in the indoor seating area, full of windows and ample seating overlooking the gorgeous views. We sat on the elevated screened porch (which has a beautiful view of the vineyards) with a few wine flights and our pup. We played Uno with our kids for a bit and then they tossed a baseball down in the grass below. It was a relaxing, tech free day with no complaints for anyone. Loved it. It is clearly a go-to spot for locals, as there were many people conducting remote work from the space as well. I think it's telling that people feel "at home" here. Regarding the wine, we had great recommendations from the owner and liked all that we sampled. My husband's favorite was the Chardonnay and mine the house Riesling, which we purchased a bottle of to bring home.

Bought a bottle to enjoy at home. The two ladies were helpful and friendly. So glad we stopped, highly recommend.

They also have a gift shop full of adorable merchandise: cups with the bear claw logo etched on (I got a wine cup lol! ) , cork bracelets (we got two), dog clothes, goat milk soap, t shirts etc. They have lots of seating options indoor tables as well as lots of tables with little fire pits outside and lots of games. On the weekends, they have live music. When we visited artist Russ Stills was there. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. He even came around the audience meeting and greeting with each table and taking requests. This is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and listen to good music and take in the beauty of the vineyard. 10 out of 10 for sure!
