So many to choose from and you only get 4!
Cindy P.

Beautiful tasting room and easy access if you're just passing through! There is plenty of parking and other things to do including a Cabot's creamery, a chocolate shop and a sandwich shop for lunch! The tasting room is small with a single counter for tasting and a wall of bottles for purchase but it's well worth the wait if needed. You can even sample the syrups while you wait for free! Our hostess was very informative about all of the spirits and very appreciative of each of her customers. She talked a bit fast but that's understandable in the environment, it's busy!! We each did a tasting, the special tasting and the regular, so we got to try almost everything! Our cabinet and fridge got a few new additions with the canned vodka sodas and a single barrel. I highly recommend a stop and a tasting of the Hopped Gin, whether you're a gin drinker or not!! We visited in August 2024.

Loved this place! The staff was so friendly to chat with and it was fun to try different tastings and recommendations for cocktails. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the maple and rose seltzers--they were so unique!

Stopped in to get a gift of bourbon for a friend. Luck has it that they had a 4 sample bourbon sampling for 10 dollars. Staff is so knowledgeable. They have a great selection of spirits. I will definitely be back!!

This location is NOT where the vineyards are. This is the wine tasting room/store. I was…read moredisappointed not seeing a vineyard as the touristy maps pointed this as the location of a winery. There is a vineyard but it is in the town of East Calais over the mountain as the sales lady described the directions of getting there. Since we were here, we decided on a wine tasting. It was a dollar for a small taste of each wine The downside was that we can only choose from the wines that were opened already. I could not try their blueberry wine. I did try the Pear wine, Rasberry Apple wine, and Stawberry Wine. I was really surprised how delish these wines were. My favorite was the Pear wine. The mister and I bought three bottles. Overall, as first time visitors to Vermont, the mister and I were in awe to find wineries here. Hopefully, we will find ourselves in their vineyards. This tasting room is next door to the popular cold hollow cider mill. Just go right into the Apple Core store and make a left into the tasting room.

The store looks interesting from the outside and upon entry you are greeted by numerous microbrews for sale. I was planning on purchasing some until I made the mistake of walking through Grand View's door. The tasting room looks like a dull office with some bottles of wine. If you want a tasting, be brave -firm and try your hardest to ask for one while being stared down by inmate 4319. She sure as hell won't offer you one. Inmate 4319 is handling important business on her phone. And get ready to ante up that $2, no one is pouring anything till some cash comes out. Also, pay cash this will protect you from 4319. The first wine I tried had white stuff floating in it. I asked what it was and was told "sediment". No sh*t really? But 4319 was not providing further info on the flakes of flesh floating in the wine. It was mostly different fruit wines. They may have been alright but I just banged the samples back so I could hurry up and leave. No one walks out on 4319.
