I've said it once and I will say it again; I am not a wine drinker. I rarely drink it but when there is a themed winery based of a classic movie, I have to check it out. My friend and I decided to do a tasting and were able to try 5-6 different types of wine. A lot of wines were in the dryer side. The bottles are also themed after the Wizard of Oz so it makes a perfect souvenir. I ended up buying 2 bottles as gifts. My one complaint is how expensive the bottles are. Both bottles that I purchased were around $25 dollars each which is more than what I'm used to. I did enjoy the winery overall and it's a perfect stop while visiting Wamego read more

This is a very nice little winery tasting room that has been completely remodeled. The gentleman serving was really nice and although I'm not a wine drinker, I really enjoyed a sweet wine he suggested. We even took a bottle home. It looks like they have a few snacks, but could probably use some other food items. We will definitely be back to check them out again. read more

Great staff....fun bubbly attitude. The ambiance was nice. Great stop after visiting the museum and walking the yellow brick road!

Nice small business that is using the oz name to its advantage to draw consumers in. Nice gimmick because it works. There were many people there. Nice people and a nice selection of wine read more

It's an absolute must to stop here right after visiting the Oz museum. A cute winery located in the heart of downtown Wamego. Like almost the rest of the strip, it is themed after the Wizard of Oz. The wines all have names with some correlation of the movie, and even the designs on the bottles tie in as well. It's important to know before doing a tasting that there is a small selection to choose from; maybe 7 or 8 wines. You can try two for free, or more with a small fee. I prefer sweet wines and there were only 2, so I just stuck with my free pours. The Squished Witch was my favorite, which is a berry wine. The Fraidy Cat was another great one! The wine was a bit more on the expensive side, $22-$28 for one bottle. They've got a lot of fun trinkets in their gift shop as well. read more

Oz Winery - a display of bottles of wine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wamego, Kansas

I was not a big fan of the wine here but, it is cute place with charm and the wine flight trees are pretty cute. The wine is decent and we had partaken after the Oz Museum, and relaxed and had some wine. Why 4 stars if not a fan of wine? Well wine is like art can be very subjective and this place had it going on from service to their little store offering chocolates, and local goods. It was a great place to take a break before heading to lunch at Toto's Taco's. Kudos OW! read more

Food, service, and atmosphere was amazing! We booked a private party and there was a small hiccup with our reservation but the staff was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the wines and foods. Our party was in a private room in the back that was perfect for our date. We had a great time chatting learning about the different wines. I'm not necessarily a wine connoisseur but, we tasted a total of 10 wines? I think and I absolutely LOVED all but one; we ended up purchasing two bottles. The cheeses, chocolates, and jams paired so perfectly with each wine. They did NOT skimp on the snacks either, we were absolutely stuffed with wine and finger foods by the time we left. We even got a discount on merchandise for booking a party. HIGHLY recommend the pepper bacon jam and the goat milk caramel. read more

On my second visit to Wamego, KS I finally stopped into the Oz Winery. The customer service was top notch and the lady who was there was super welcoming and knowledgeable. She provided a couple complimentary samples and I ultimately purchased a bottle of wine to go. I also ordered some of the chocolates to go. The dark chocolate peanut cluster and the amaretto truffle were amazing and I regret not buying more. I didn't care for the double chocolate truffle. read more

Oz Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wamego, Kansas

Visited right at noon on a weekday. Good wines. Not an overly friendly experience.... A little cold and formal. Wines were very good, though. Each a unique taste to say the least and most all labels playing off the Wizard of Oz theme. The only winery I've ever visited that actually tries to charge you for winery corks. And, their winery sticker is $2.75. Puh-Leeze! Both the corks AND for sure the sticker are advertising your business! And you want the customer to pay to advertise your business for you? read more

Small Town with a fun winery. Ample tastings with helpful knowledge to pick your type. Took a few with us for friends who moved from Kansas to Colorado. " Kansas in the rear view mirror ' fun name for a wine + tasty! read more

Such a lovely and sweet little establishment! My husband and I were looking for a few bottles of Oz wine to take home from a recent trip and ended up spending about an hour there and purchasing some nice things to be shipped home. Our sommelier, Brooke, was very helpful, incredibly friendly and a lot of fun. She allowed for us to sample several wines of varying tastes and even included some caramel chips to bring out the flavor in a dessert wine we tried. She absolutely went above and beyond in helping us choose without just telling us what to buy. If we're ever in Kansas again, we'll be sure to drop in again. If you want some great wine, darling little decor items, INCREDIBLE chocolates and some of the best customer service ever, this is the place to visit! read more

The place is perfect going of a theme of the wizard of OZ all there bottles have a unique name/label based of it like Squished Witch. They are all different types of table wines not aged they all still have a unique delicious taste. They have a free limited tasting perfect for me as we came into town as a day trip. Seems like it would also be a fun place to just sit and have a glass with maybe some of there artisan cheese or chocolate. Bottle prices are reasonable with the quality of the blend and the creative oz theme. If I'm ever back in town will be back though definitely at some point will order online from this local small business. read more

This is a fun little shop...the wine is good but the wine names are great! Had a tasting (is 1030 too early for wine???) We collected wines from our trip and can't wait to have an Oz tasting! read more

Finally someone in Kansas has done something with the whole "Wizard of Oz theme"! Wamego,ks. is so small if you closed your eyes to catch some z-z-z's you'll miss it. You go through miles and miles of corn field foads and then you enter the Emerald City. Well, not really. A few stores and thats about it. BUT, in the midst of this you'll find "OZ Winery. Inside is a small counter for some tasting in plastic cups.She let us ( 7 in our group) have a taste of every single wine. Their good.You can find a couple you may want to take home. All have plays on the OZ theme...like "Run Toto Run", Emerald City Lights, Witch gone good, Witch in a ditch,O.E.O...and on and on. They have a pretty good gift shop as well . It is definitly a stop for those tourists in your group. It was a fun stop.But I think tasting every wine and singing in unison....O.E.O....ohhhhh oh......was the best part! read more

We stopped in to check out Oz Winery during our time touring through Wamego checking out the Oz sites and were not disappointed! They had a wide variety of wines to choose from-- the first 2 samples are free, which was all I needed to find the perfect bottle! If you do need more samples you can do wine flights, 3 for $8 or 5 for $15. My favorites were Home and Yellow Brick, the latter of which I purchased! The bartender/cashier was very friendly and helpful in picking out the wines, describing their aromas and flavors and helping us with our experience! If I'm ever in Wamego again with time to spare I would love to sit down and do a wine flight with some cheese and chocolate! They have some great cheese options as well as chocolates in a case to choose from! A great wine shop! read more

I fell in love with this place back in 2008/9 when a neighbor introduced me to them. Ever since then I make a point to visit for gifts if I am in Kansas... they are off the beaten path... but well worth the drive!!! OEO and Kansas in the rear view mirror are two treats. read more

We decided to make a detour to the Oz Winery while driving from KC to Concordia. The winery is a store front in the town of Wamego, which surprised me a little as I was thinking it would be a farm with tasting room, or something like that. The store is pretty cute, with lots and lots of Kansas and wizard of oz knickknacks to buy. Tastings are free up to 8 samples, which is very generous. All the wines have cute wizard of oz names and the graphics on the labels are very well done. Prices per bottle seems to be $20-$30. I bought a red called Angry Trees (A dry Chambourcin with hints of dark berries and a pleasant, tannic finish) for $25.00. They also sold some cheese, which I though was a nice touch if you wanted to pick up a bottle and cheese for a picnic or something. I would definitely say the wine is table wine quality at fancy wine prices. If you're a Wizard of Oz fan, this place is a must. If you like supporting local business, this place is a must. If you are really into wine..... idk. I found the wines to lean more towards the sweet side, so if you like your wines sweet I'm sure you like the offerings. read more

Oz Winery - Felt rushed - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wamego, Kansas

We had a great time trying a flight of wine. Fraidy Cat and Squished Witch were our favorites.There are enough varieties of wine that everybody can find something they like. It was also just a fun experience and they have a bunch of gifts and treats for sale up front too. We ended up buying two bottles of wine and will definitely be back to try more. read more

This place was to commercial, selling a hodge lodge of mix and matched goods. The staff was rude and stand offish. The tasting room was blah and the prices were high. Don't waste your time. There are much better options. read more

Just went in to buy a bottle didn't do the tasting, but very friendly people nice and clean. Am definitely going back w friends to do the tasting. read more

I think people need to remind themselves that "They're not in Napa anymore!" This is a great little place to stop off, stretch your legs & do a little wine tasting :) The service is friendly, the tasting room is open 7 days a week & their tastings are free! I think the lure of the place is as much the novelty (Oz) as it is the wine. I'm still waiting for them to start selling the art off their walls,,,, I really want it, lol. For now I've settled for an I heart Oz t-shirt :D read more

Oz Winery ha a nice tasting room, good cheese & crackers available, pleasant pourers (albeit uninformed about the wine, grape types or methods for making their wines). Oz does have Very clever wine names & labels which make me smile. You must like sweet wine to enjoy this vintner- I can compare this wine to more of a Honey mead- which is pleasant to drink, light, sweetness to every variety. Not what I would buy but not a bad experience read more

We stopped in on our drive back to Denver. The people were friendly and it was a nice break from the road. We ordered a couple flights to sample all the different wines. But honestly some of the worst wine I ever tasted. I don't think we even finished all the samples. read more

WOW! The OZ Winery? How quaint! We HAD to go in! With the Wizard of Oz, you'd think some magic is going on right? Well, not here. The place is very cute looking and the bottles are beautifully packaged with ketchy names like witch in a ditch or toto's brew or stuff like that. Why 2 stars? Well, we sampled quite a few of their wines last summer when coming back from the Kansas State fair and they just weren't up to par. We wouldn't consider buying any of them. Of note, they said they just blend the wines and don't actually own a winery, although, to be honest with you, as long as it tastes good, I don't care where it came from. read more

Fairly certain that taking a little detour from Lawrence to Manhattan was worth it. Wine tastings at this too-cute-for-the-city winery on Wamego's Main Street pleasantly be-speckled by lights and Christmas-y ornaments is an excellent idea. The full-bodied Oil Can, the driest and most vibrant of Oz's wines, is sure to please the most discerning palates. Without a hint of resin or a touch of "too old," this wine is a smooth as fine vermouth. That said, the reds are more delicious than the whites, for which even the driest chardonnay was still too sweet for this girl's Goldilocks medium-loving palate. read more

Good wines but not a real inviting place! Can't stand the signs on the tables saying the tables are for people ordering wines. Is the place that busy where you need those signs? It sure wasn't when we stopped in. If you need those signs on busy days then by all means use them. But other days it makes people feel uncomfortable with your establishment!!! I wanted to order some chocolate and sit and eat it but didn't because I felt I would have not been invited at the tables. Also there were two employees there on the weekday we dropped in. Both employees were not friendly at all. Being we were the only four patrons in the store the employees can't use the excuse that they were too busy to be friendly and accommodating to us. Please keep in mind customers are your business!!! But good wines... read more

Stopped by to revisit after having been there years before. Shared some memories for which they could have cared less. Horrible atmosphere, zero info on the wines and a very uncomfortable feeling that we were somehow interrupting something. And no, you don't ever get used to Grace just standing behind the bar staring off into space and saying nothing. Huge disappointment. Planned on buying a few wines, ended up getting nothing. Go somewhere else so you won't bother them or keep them from their whatever they were doing. read more

Oz Winery sells a variety of wines themed to the Wizard of Oz as well as complimentary items, like cheeses, crackers and jams. They offer a tasting station, where you can get two 1-oz samples for free, a flight of wines for $8-12 or wine by the glass. We opted to try two samples each. I tried Where's Toto and The Lion's Courage. My husband went with Curl Your Stockings and Sip... and Drink. We're not the biggest wine connoisseurs, so take our opinions for what they are worth. I really enjoyed both of my options. I enjoyed the raspberry undertone of Where's Toto. The Lion's Courage was a bit heavier, but it was also very good. It was served with chocolate chips, which always make everything better. David liked the Curl Your Stockings, but was less impressed with the Sip... and drink. He ended up buying a bottle of Curl Your Stockings, so we'll have the opportunity to try it with a meal the next time we have friends over. I think it would be interesting to take their production tour. We've done that before at other wineries and it is always amazing to see the care and work that goes into making a great wine. They are also looking at adding Culinary Wine Tours, which sound interesting. Oz Winery is about an hour and a half away from our house, so I probably wouldn't go just for the wine, but if I am in the area again, I'd definitely stop by. read more

We have lived in Wamego and we have lived in Sonoma/Napa County - so we are familiar with both terrains and both places have a place in our hearts and histories. My husband and I were excited to hear of this establishment in Wamego, however, we moved before it was open. We have since returned to Wamego and visited Oz Winery and were not impressed. Prepared to make some substantial purchases, we were ignored as the proprietor opted to chase a lukewarmly interested customer about the room to sell her a $13 bottle of chard. Perhaps Oz has improved? Sylvia seems to have a review that conflicts. Maybe it was just a bad day? Too bad, Oz. read more

I've been to Napa. I live in a state with a phenomenal wine region. However, I opted to get of the beaten path en route to Junction City and see what the Oz Winery in Wamego was all about. The town is sleepy. Reminds me of a miniature version of the one in which I grew up. The Oz Winery is, however, cute. They have a big selection around the Wizard of Oz theme. I opted for a white called "I'll get you my Pretty" and a red called "Curl Your Stockings". The white was so/so...but so/so doesn't work for me at $20/bottle. Haven't tried the red yet. Anyway...I'm glad to have supported their local economy and wish them the best :) read more

I liked the atmosphere here. It was a nice stop on our trip. I liked the opportunity to sample wine with a flight. The wine isn't the best that I've had, but it's not horrible. A fun place to visit with friends. You can share wine, chocolate, and cheese. read more

A great find off the beaten path. Just as it should be when you're out and traveling. Super friendly and helpful staff. I tested just 2 wines but walked away with all sorts of goodies. Wines, shirts and a few other odds and ends. How can you NOT love the idea of OZ named wines? Drunkin munchkin and Yellow brix were the 2 I walked away with. read more

We are from KS and decided to get some wine shipped home to us to try. We tasted 2 of the 3 bottles we bought, which were O.E.O, Professor Marvel's Ruby Red, and Witch in a Ditch. The wine is really sweet and light bodied, which is good for table wine. It's all about the novelty, we probably won't buy any again for ourselves. We may consider sending some for gifts though just for fun. read more

We planned this as part of a day trip to Wamego. After lunch and after the Oz museum, we headed this way. It was a Saturday afternoon in late October and was very, very busy. We were lucky to get a seat. (Nothing special going on in the city that weekend.) The place was cute and well decorated, but I was a bit disappointed by all the chaos. We couldn't really sit and linger and enjoy our selections because of it. OR talk to the staff who were too busy to really even focus on one group. I 'spect during the week it's a bit quieter. ...maybe it's time to consider an expansion of the tasting area? Whatever you do, please do NOT take your children here. It's an adult environment and they won't enjoy themselves and will be bouncing around and making general nuisances of themselves due to sheer boredom. The wine was good. The names and descriptions well thought out and priced about right. They would make nice gifts, if you have someone who'd appreciate a Kansas wine. They also have a small selection of some artisan chocolates and cheeses - we didn't try because we felt obligated to let someone else have our seat and moved along - but they were displayed beautifully. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I am not the world's biggest Wizard of Oz fan, but I love the way they capitalize on the theme. It's just so fun! I'd had the Squished Witch before visiting here and it's one of my favorite wines. On this visit I tasted several wines, and the one I think I liked best is Poppy Fields or the Surrender. Surrender came with butterscotch for tasting, and it was fantastic! While the theme is fun, I found this place to be a little bit pricy. I'm totally fine with wineries charging for tastings. But The Oz Winery charges $12 for five. FIVE. That doesn't even include a souvenir glass! You can get 2 free samples or pay only $8 for 3 samples. This is not to discourage you from going, but be aware of what you're getting yourself into. Overall, the wine is decent. This is definitely a place that caters more to the sweet wine drinkers. My parents, who prefer dry reds, were not in love but still found it enjoyable. read more

We were excited to find such a cute town in Kansas while traveling back to CA. We loved the Oz theme and enjoyed trying some different grapes than what we are used to. We took a few bottles home to remember the experience. I would definitely recommend a stop here for a tasting. They have some nice gifts as well, including amazing dark chocolate salted caramels. The graphics on the labels are amazing and show real creativity. read more
