I have a friend that likes sweet wine so we stopped by this place to purchase a bottle of wine…read more It is a beautiful view but since we were on our way to our friend's place with the bottle of wine as a hostess gift, we didn't purchase the tasting package. 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.

Loved this so much! Worth it just for the view. We did the tasting- all were good and the sparkling…read morewine, hard cider, and semi-sweet were fabulous. Got habanero cheese and crackers, dill pickle jerky and toffee. Had read reviews but didn't know what food offerings they had. This was enough to nibble while sipping wine. Both the cheese and toffee were from Sweetwater- both delicious. Such a picturesque setting. The restored buildings are amazing and each of the restrooms were handsomely done. Bought a bottle to enjoy at home. The two ladies were helpful and friendly. So glad we stopped, highly recommend.

They have a large variety of snacks, and gifts, as well as an abundance of wine. Nice open spaces to walk and enjoy the scenery as well! I highly recommend Bear Claw Winery.

After arriving in the Blue Ridge area Friday we were on the hunt for a little family fun and found…read morethis gem on Yelp! The vineyard is kid and dog friendly so we decided we'd go explore! Bear came with us and was the perfect pup just chilling and loving all of the attention! The service was great we went to the counter and ordered our drinks. My kiddo even got to have a blue raspberry slushie which made her night she ended up with blue lips and teeth too! 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!

What a nice surprise! I grew up in McMinn County and had no idea this restaurant existed…read more A close friend from Chattanooga suggested Silver Springs for lunch, as it's roughly midway between our homes in Knoxville and Chattanooga. 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!

So if you're expecting a nice Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon you won't find it here however, if you like sweet (Welche's grape juice) this is the place for you. Don't get me wrong. Some of the wines I tasted would do very well on a California dining table. But this is no Napa so don't expect it to be. However, it's a very nice venue with." pick your own grapes", lots of fun food oriented, souvenirs and delicious pizza, I highly recommend the pizza! The entire staff is very friendly and helpful and if you're driving north or south on interstate 75, it's worth a stop. Enjoy!

The winery was inviting and clean with so many options for gifts and treats to take home. We really enjoyed the different flavors and of course had to take some bottles to enjoy later. Highly recommend this winery! We'll stop by again to enjoy the wine!
