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!

They told us sorry we cannot sell you a bottle to drink with dinner? Kicker is the single glass is 9.95 yet a bottle is 15.95.

So not sure the logic.

To be honest, we told the bartender we had never been there before & we wanted to purchase a bottle of sweet wine for a friend. If the bartender would have said, I'll just give you a free taste of this wine (the one I was purchasing), then they might have had a sale of 2 or 3 bottles rather than just one for our friend. My friend was very excited to receive the wine but she didn't open it so we never got a taste of it at our friend's house either. Again - the view is beautiful.

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!
