He had the nerve to compare my two-year-old grandson's behavior to that of a dog, singled him out, and made my entire family feel completely disrespected. This was one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. The vineyard is absolutely not family-friendly, and the owner clearly lacks the professionalism, courtesy, and people skills required to run a business that serves the public. Families deserve respect, not hostility. I strongly caution others before visiting this establishment.

A small fridge of cheeses, charcuterie, hummus, and veg allow you to make your own nosh board. BBV provides plates, napkins and utensils if you buy their snacks.

Pizzas are made to order and take at least 25-40 mins if there is a good crowd there). Bring your own blanket, totes chairs, and even cooler full of food if you wish, but order your wine at the register inside. Laid-back vibe, plenty of grassy picnic areas, several patio tables and metal chairs and a few picnic tables, clean unisex restrooms, and a few souvenirs in the gift shop. Industrial chic interior warehouse atmo. Take it easy on the dusty gravel access road to the venue. And mind the sheep! All in all, a charming sip, sit, and snack on a lovely day. Cheers!

We really enjoyed talking with him. The woman working, who might be the owner, had a little attitude. I'm assuming so as I saw her in photos with the dog there? Either way, I found her dismissive. If it wasn't for her, I definitely would've given it 5 stars.

The apple orchard was lovely to look at too. We tried a tasting flight of wines and had a friendly conversation with Michael. Many of the grape varietals were unknown to me. As a wine enthusiast it was challenging to appreciate the fruit styles. Also tasted ciders and thought many of the ciders were on the bone dry & tart. All in all, it was fun and educational. The gift shop has lots of jams, fresh pies and many other items, plus the best ever cider donuts! Donuts alone are worth the trip!! A new sitting area out back was a nice touch, loved the wood plank walls. It's a great place to visit.

Having an outdoor area for live music and events but also having an indoor area for their general store and the tasting it's nice to pick and choose what you want. Not much in terms of sights being in the forest but sometimes it's nice to get away from the noise of the city and town. We enjoyed a sampling of 6 wines with dry and sweet whites/reds and the blueberry wines that we were lucky enough to have a quick peak into one of the workers as he was stirring blueberries in a large box. The moment we went into the back area we were welcomed with the aroma of blueberry that put a smile on my face. I love this place because they don't try too hard to do too much. They have the personality, flavor and feel of a smaller vineyard that anyone will enjoy if they go.

I do blame myself though--what kind of serious winery makes slushies? Ew..Learn from my mistakes.

What a great place!…read more We stopped off in the afternoon on a Wednesday during a short trip to the Berkshires. First off, LOVE that you can bring the dogs. Is this normal for an orchard? I'm not familiar. They have the cutest little store with apple cider donuts, fudge, little store items including an apple liqueur of some kind that I was lucky enough to try and that shit is DANGEROUS. They also have a wine tasting area and cider/beer tasting area. We got 2 apple cider donuts (obviously) which were incredible. We also tried a cider flight. I asked for "the fruitest shit you have" and we got a nice spread of different and interesting things including a lavender cider. All of the staff were super nice and friendly. The place is also massive if you are into a lot of walking and things.

Valentines weekend called for a trip down memory lane and to one of our favorite places, The Berkshires. Upon arrival our room was not ready so we looked for a wine bar/winery on Yelp. We were so thrilled to find Balderdash. They were pretty crowded since it was Valentine's Day, but we were able to grab a table in front of the live music. I ordered a wine flight (mostly from California vineyards) they don't grow any grapes here and my husband had a beer. What I also love about this place is that you can bring in your own food. I did see a bunch of couples sharing crackers and cheese. They had a cannoli cart pop up which was delicious! The live music was also great! I honestly didn't want to leave since we were having so much fun. I wish we lived closer we would be here all the time. If you get a chance, check out this winery and enjoy a glass and some music on me! Cheers
