The owner educated our group of 50 on unique wines of the area. The talk was SO fascinating! I can't express how wonderful this book winery is!!! The rich history of the area, building and grapes! Highly Recommend!! I can't wait to return here soon to purchase more of their tasty wines and bring my friends along too! A+

What sets this winery apart is its location--it's one of the few places in the area where you can sip wine while enjoying close proximity to the water. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the outdoor seating offered beautiful views that made our tasting even more enjoyable. Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a seasoned connoisseur, the setting alone is worth the visit. We had the opportunity to sample a wide variety of wines during our visit, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The tasting was well-organized, and the staff were both knowledgeable and friendly, making great recommendations based on our preferences. We were particularly impressed with the Pinot Grigio, which had a crisp, refreshing taste perfect for a warm afternoon by the water. However, it was the Cabernet that truly stood out for us. It had a rich, full-bodied flavor with just the right amount of complexity--a balance of boldness and smoothness that left us both savoring each sip. The Cabernet was so exceptional that we knew we couldn't leave without bringing some home. We ended up purchasing two bottles, and I have no doubt that we'll be reminiscing about our time at the winery as we enjoy them in the future. It's not often you come across a red that makes such a lasting impression, but this one definitely did. If you're in the Port Clinton area, I highly recommend visiting this winery. It offers more than just great wines--it provides an experience. Between the friendly staff, the well-curated wine selection, and the beautiful location near the water, it's a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy some truly memorable wines. We'll definitely be returning!

Great atmosphere and scenic location, but that's about all I can say positive…read more Very limited wine selection, I like reds, they offered 2. One sweet, which I don't care for sweet wines, the second, which I chose was lacking flavor. No body to the wine. Very disappointing. My wife tried 2 whites, she didn't care for either. They did not have a chardonnay or anything close. The traditional cheese tray was obviously pre- cubed cheeses, some plain soda crackers and a half a peach. I asked about getting a half order or the "gourmet " cheese tray but the server said they don't offer it because everything is pre-proportioned, which leads me to believe it's from Costco or the like. All in all pretty disappointing. Ww love stopping at wineries but unless friends want to go, ill avoid this one. We have frequented the orchard store for decades but even that has gotten so expensive we have cut back.

With a vineyard, fruit tree orchard, full kitchen, gift shop and the most excellent donut truck, this place rocks! The main attraction is a beautifully decorated chalet. Did a flight of every wine they had. Ended up loving three of them, including the Chardonnay, Bourbon Barrel Aged Apple wine, and the Pinnacle Rrd. Got a bottle of Chardonnay for the table and took the other two home. Service was crazy good. Brooke was attentive, quick, and had the nicest smile you've ever seen. She should be on the silver screen! Super friendly, the manager, I think her name was Emily, sat down at our table and exquisitely described each wine while we sampled the precious nectars. The owner also stopped by and explained how he's the third generation of Scottish immigrants growing up on the land we sit on, where his great great grandfather planted the pear trees still producing fruit today. Seeing that this was Mother's Day, they went over the top with a free bouquet of flowers for the moms in our family. Tried the donuts and thought I was going to heaven. Can't wait to stumble across this place again!

Christmas Market If…read moreyou are looking for a unique Christmas experience for adults this is the place to come. We took a girls trip (many of us driving for over an hour) to meet up. The outside area has about 20 greenhouse style buildings set up that sell a variety of items from clothing to homemade pottery. The buildings are each heated and they have several fire pit areas along the paths to stay warm. If you want to eat inside you will need to make reservations in advance. Outside the offer stands with soup, sandwiches and wine. Fun experience and pictures look magical!

But... last night we decided to have dinner after spending time at the Holiday Market and the dining experience was a huge disappointment. We waited over 10 minutes for a server to greet us and get our drink orders. 40 minutes after ordering, our server stopped by to tell us that our apps would be coming soon. The Walleye bites were good but not seasoned and the entrees were disappointing. I had a harvest salad which would have been lovely but the "dressing" tasted like it was made from extremely strong puréed onion and nothing else. At the end of the meal, we waited another 20 minutes for the check and after almost two hours, we paid $100 for poor service, a bowl of fried fish pieces, a cheeseburger, a bowl of mediocre bisque and a salad that was just awful. Not the experience that we hoped for! We will be back for the Christmas Market next year but I think we'll opt for another dinner option next time. I would rate the wine bar and Christmas Market 5 stars! Unfortunately, the dining experience was dismal and left us with a bad (and very oniony) taste in our mouths!

The outdoor patio is great for COVID dinning. Make sure make a reservation. Often have live music on the weekends. Keep in mind they are closed during the winter. Food - Chef Jamie is highly skilled. Never had anything that has not been good. Highly recommend any of the daily specials. They also have seasonal specials. This trip we had the olive and tomato bruschetta and the salmon special. Wine - best local wine in the region. Keep in mind the wines are mostly on the dry side. Jamie also hand selects imports from around the world. They also sell beer and other drinks. The bruschetta was a great mix of texture and flair. Sweet tomatoes, perfectly grilled baguette, salty olives, and savory blue cheese. Amazing. The salmon was very good. It had brussel sprouts cooked in an Apple compote. Very nice contrast of sweet and savory. Fish was perfectly cooked. Only negative was the potatoes were slightly over cooked. Pro Tip - ask for Julie. The best server.

They have umbrellas to shade you from the sun which we really needed the day we were there! They have a host at the front to bring you to your seat/table and then the wait staff come to take your order. I had a flight which come with your choice of three wines. I had three of their dry reds and they were all pretty tasty - the Eagles Eryie being my favorite. They have a little store inside where you can buy wine to go and other wine related things. They are also a dog friendly place which was good because I had my pup with me that day!

The vibe was a bit different than what I was expecting as we were expecting a traditional vineyard but that was not really the case. It was more casual then expected. The place is fairly big and the night we went they had live music in the entrance area. They had a patio but limited seating and most of it was covered and half uncovered. The service was very slow. We ordered wine flights as well as bruschetta and bread/oil. It took a very long time to come out and had to go find our waiter to ask about the wait as we were a large party. The waiter was super apologetic and kind and gave complimentary chips and a cake slice which was nice. The limoncello cake slice tasted a bit artificial but I appreciated the waiter giving it to us, but would not order it again off the menu. The wine was delicious so I would say to go for the wine if you go for anything. The food was simple and basic but nothing to complain about as we just got bread/oil as well as bruschetta. It feels simple and a bit thrown together however, the pizzas that were coming out did look very good so I would try to opt for one of those. The shareables were a decent size for the price and I can appreciate them not charging a super high amount for shareables as some wineries do. Overall, Firelands Winery was a good experience and I would come back for the wine and maybe some live music if I am in the area.

I did ask the person if they serve food. She told us yes, when we are ready we need to order "at the bar." Keep in mind, there was a family of four and us. Actually the food was quite tasty. My husband had the burger and I had the pesto chicken sandwich. Both came with chips. If you are ordering wine, you get nice glasses. Pop or water come in plastic cups. And it is canned pop. The seating is rather uncomfortable. Backless Stools at large round tables (think large cable holders).

Let me start out by saying had I read these reviews prior to booking our Christmas Party I would…read morehave looked elsewhere. In April I contacted The Winerie about a Christmas Party on Dec. 5th 2025, at that time I spoke with the Manager who was let go before our party. We received all the menues and contracts. We signed the contract and made the deposit. In October we never heard from anyone to finalize the menu so I reached out to the said Manager and I was told she no longer works there and gave me the "new" managers number. I called and sent numerous texts with no response. We finally called Winerie and spoke with a bartender who stated she would have someone call me back. I did get a text that said when is the best time to call you, I told her anytime before 2:30. A few days later she called back we touched base on what we had planned, she asked if we signed a contract and made a deposit as she has no record of us booking. From that point on I no longer had phone conversations with anyone everything had to be done via text. When I asked if someone could call she stated no she is very busy as she wears many hats. Fast forward to the time of our party!! UGH they had 5 tables reserved with a white tablecloth on them thats it no salt/pepper no water nothing. Okay fine we can overlook that. The food was finally served and they put out a tossed salad that was big enough for 1 person, when we went to ask for more they stated sorry we have no more lettuce in the whole place. We were supposed to get rolls and butter nope they didn't have those either. When we went to the bar for beer they ran out of that as well we had to change what we drank. The roasted carrots where hard the potatoes where spungy. The chicken was DRY as the saraha desert. The lasagna was very good. We ran out of food!!! We had to go to the bar and ask if they had any more they said oh yes we will get someone to bring more. They brought our more lasagna and some cabbage that they called a salad but never brought out any chicken. We had to ask for salt and pepper, and more plates. No one cleaned off the tables after dinner we had to bus our own tables and put them on an empty table. One of our guests bit into a bite of chicken and pulled out a 3" piece of dark hair that had food attached to it. The desert constisted of cheesecakes from Sams Club. No one came to check on us at all during the evening, we had to go ask where we were set up, and had to ask when food was going to be served. When we went up to pay they did take money off the bill because we complained but then turned around and charged us a 20% gratuity. Why, why didn't we get to say what we wanted to pay because we had no service other than the bartenders getting the drinks. I do not recommend this facility RUN!!!
