My son graduated from Ohio University and we made a reservation for a party of 12. Despite that reservation, there was a considerable wait (about an hour) but that's not why I'm writing this review. We traveled from Pittsburgh to celebrate my son, so I brought a specially made cake from a local bakery that he loves. I asked the manager if we could serve that cake after the meal and not only did he decline, he was very rude. Even after I reminded him that we were on the verge of spending close to $1000 in his restaurant he would make no exception. I didn't make a fuss but after our meal when the waitress asked if we wanted dessert, we had a good laugh and said uhhhh no thank you. I hope the potential handful of desserts you thought we might be forced to buy was worth this one star review.

I have brought several of my grape wine loving friends to Dutch Creek and they all leave pleasantly surprised with purchased bottles in hand. Love this winery's location too. Enough away from the hustling college town to provide a calm and pleasant experience, yet very convenient to the local restaurants to make for a lovely first course to your evening's meal. I can't say enough good things about this unique winery. Their bee to bottle process rivals any other wineries I've visited, which includes those of Germany and Italy that we have enjoyed. Yelp needs to create a special category just for Dutch Creek Winery.

One of the Best Wine Tastings We've Ever Experienced!…read more Wine Tree Vineyard is truly something special! We've been to a lot of vineyards and wineries in different wine regions and countries, and honestly, we've never experienced a small vineyard with wines this good. Every wine we tasted was impressive -- so much so that we couldn't leave without taking a bottle home! What really made the experience stand out was how much they get it. Craig did an incredible job explaining each wine, how it's made, and what makes each one different. You could tell he genuinely knows and loves what he does, and that made the tasting feel personal rather than just another wine tasting. The wines, the knowledge, the atmosphere, and the overall experience were all exceptional. If you enjoy wine, Wine Tree Vineyard is absolutely a must-visit. We've been to many vineyards over the years, and this one has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorites. Do yourself a favor and go -- and be prepared to leave with a bottle (or two)!

We arrived right when they opened, and the owner, Craig, gave us one of the best wine tasting experiences we've ever had. He took the time to explain wine in a way that made the whole experience so much more enjoyable and personal. I'll admit, my husband was hesitant when we first pulled up because the outside doesn't immediately scream "winery," but I told him to trust the process. I'm so glad we did because we ended up bringing home a case of wine with nine different varieties because we couldn't pick favorites. We loved them all. Craig also told us about their wine and food pairing dinners, which sound amazing, and his wife Candy does the meal pairings. We're already talking about getting a group together and making another trip back. Bonus: they also have a very sweet dog named Cooper who was the perfect winery greeter!

With a covered patio, umbrella tables on the lawn, and a cozy wooded backdrop complete with fire pits and space heaters, it's a great casual spot for fall date nights or post-hike drinks. The wine flights are served efficiently in a cute presentation, and my chicken Caesar wrap was delicious. However, the operations and service need severe improvement: Disjointed Pacing: Drinks, an appetizer charcuterie board, and entrees (including a lackluster pizza) arrived at completely random intervals with long, awkward gaps between them. Inattentiveness & Hidden Fees: Our server never went over the menu or asked for our food order--we had to flag her down repeatedly. She was unfamiliar with the beers on tap and charged $4 for a tiny sample without menu listing or prior disclosure. Unacceptable Safety & Management Response: At 9 PM on a Saturday, my husband was bitten by a dog near the outdoor fire pit. I couldn't find a manager to report it. When I alerted the host, she tried to locate one, but instead of the manager coming over, they sent a staff member, who then just sent our server back out. After waiting an extended period, we left without ever being able to speak to management. There is so much natural charm, great ambiance, and potential here. With proper staff training, better pacing, and--most importantly--responsive management on duty, this winery could easily become a standout regional destination. I truly hope leadership takes these operational fixes to heart so the venue can reach its full potential!
