Even as you approach, if feels unreal because it is pretty much two buildings - a metal winery building and a small tasting room. Upon entering, we were met by the two owners. We had made a reservation, which is required, because it is so small. The only foods are pizzas that are premade that they then cooked. We did not have one, but they actually looked good. Tastings are for any 4 wines on their by the glass list. My wife and I did 8 total, sharing each one. Without a doubt, this was the absolute best wine we tasted on our day at three wineries. We very much liked all five of the reds that we sampled. We especially liked the Uva Vinum and brought some home. We also very much liked the Sod Buster. The white and rose were good, just nothing we would bring home. The owners were friendly and enthusiastic and very informative. So, overall, very very good wine, fun out of the way location, sensational service and information.

Very homey tasting room, reservations-only at this time. The person who made the wine is pouring it as well. Wines on-site are mostly Rhone varietals. We tried 8, all were exceptional. This winery's aging approach enhances their product.

Whether you prefer sweet or dry, there's something for everyone, and everything we tasted was clearly crafted with care. And we can't forget the adorable ostrich!

They often have live music and when we went during the winter, there was a fire pit that was so nice! There was a food truck the last time that was phenomenal! They have really cool little activities also. I am jealous that I work most weekends! I recommend this business! They have a website and I think there is a FB also.
