The scenery is…read morebeautiful, and it's a wonderful place to sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the surroundings. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and they do offer a small selection of light bites if you're looking for a snack. My only complaint was the tasting process. Instead of receiving all of your tastings at once, you're given tasting cards and have to go back inside each time you're ready for the next pour. On the plus side, each wine is poured fresh and served cold, but it does interrupt the experience. If you're trying to relax outside and take in the view, getting up every few minutes to go back inside becomes a little frustrating. Overall, the beautiful setting and friendly staff made it a great stop, and I'd definitely recommend visiting the main winery.

She seemed less than interested in our arrival. We'd arrived later in the evening. Our room was vey nice. Very comfortable. We decide to venture to the jacuzzi. No towels in the outside basket. We had to go inside to request clean towels. When the towels came out, we ask the young lady how to make the jets work in the jacuzzi? "Oh no, they're not working." No sorry, no other explanation, she just walked away. We did manage to get two jets working. It was pleasant. Breakfast was okay. Nothing special. The lady preparing the food was very nice. Checking out was easy and the young gentleman pleasant. Trouble started after we left. Our fault. We'd left our swimsuits in the closet. Have to say, 30 years of traveling we have left things behind in our hotels. Kids left toys, pillows, blankets.... It does happen. Not often! I called when we realized this, Tuesday after we'd departed. I explained we'd left our swim suits hanging in the closet. The woman said she'd check lost and found??? I'd given her our room #. She said the cleaners had not finished their rounds yet and to call back later. Okay then, but I just gave you the room number and told you where they were? Again our mistake, but where is the customer service? I was told to call back at the end of the day. I called at the end of the day. Great swimsuits found. I was then told the person who sends packages would be in touch in a day or two. Okay then.... Nope. I called again on Friday, giving the full two days for someone to call. I was then told the person is new and must have missed it. Okay, what now? Well, "you have to make a USPS for your package and we will send it on Thursday". What? "That's the day we send out mail". You cannot be serious. Why was I not told this when I initially called. I would not have to wait another week. Customer service is a big issue here. I should say severe lack of customer service! So disappointing. Yes we did get our suits. Again our fault for leaving them, but I never had such poor customer service.

Nick and Holly are incredibly welcoming, and the small, intimate setting made the experience feel truly special. Every course was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully paired with both Maison La Belle Vie wines and imported French wines.

They even created nearly an entirely separate menu for a guest with food allergies, along with thoughtful non-alcoholic pairings. These weren't simply substitutions, but completely different dishes prepared with the same care and creativity. They truly thought of everything. A wonderful experience from beginning to end, and one we would absolutely recommend.

The first night we had fish, which was a little overcooked and too dependent on the sauces. For lunch we had a very yummy flatbread that was so nice with a glass of wine. Our second dinner was burgers with blue cheese, one of my favorites, and prepared perfectly. The dill potato salad was particularly good and the bun for the burger was really nice. We enjoyed several of the wines during our visits and they were all good. We didn't have a charcuterie board this time, which we have enjoyed in the past, partly because the price has become rather high.
