"Wine Find" of our trip. As semi-professional blogger/sales rep in the wine business, we've been…read moredoing a lot of places in like having a find. This winery is doing a great job. Had the privilege of meeting with Eric Cotton, owner and wine maker. Because we were early in the day, spent over an hour with him. Got to experience and learn about all of the varietals of wine and he's doing an exceptionally good job. Particularly impressed with the dry riesling, the Meritage Rose (no one else making anything like it), the dornfelder, and three very complex great cabernet sauvignon's. Read my thoughts about all the wines at my blog, winesagereview.com. We ended up going home with a near case and that's unusual for us since we already have a lot of wine. Very much enjoyed learning all that they're doing and highly recommend someone stop by there's a wine connesiour and those wanting to learn more about the Grand River valley. If the staff is time will teach you a lot. Thanks Eric for a great experience. Michelle and Tom

Live music on a sat evening with a beautiful view of the manicured property, we had a big table that they held for us ahead of time as we called an hour before getting there. They don't take reservations but if you give them a heads up, it'll be smoother for both parties. The place was so lively and everyone who served us were friendly and so accommodating! Our kids went outside and played catch while us adults relaxed and enjoyed the wines, you can see them from the massive windows. The food was wonderful, the goat cheese fondue isn't too rich like a traditional cheese, try it! The hanger steak was so tender and juicy, scallops were not overcooked. Honestly if you are in the area, take a peek at this place and try the local wines. The bottle prices are so fair! Not pretentious and the parking was plenty. Enjoy my friends and drink responsibility because it's absolutely easy to want to try ALL the wines here. (⁠⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Laurentia Vineyard and Winery is an absolutely gorgeous property, both inside and out. The entire…read moreestate is immaculately clean, and the interior features warm, homey woodwork that sets a beautiful, welcoming tone. The outdoor area is incredibly spacious, offering everything from a covered patio to seating right down by the vineyard with umbrella coverage. Whether you need an intimate two-seater, a large table for a group, or a standing-style arrangement around covered barrels, they have a space for it. They were even setting up for live music the night I visited, which added to the great atmosphere. What really struck me was how well-run this establishment is. Large venues can often be a logistical nightmare, but Laurentia operates masterfully. They use a controlled seating and walk-up ordering system for everything--wine, coffee, and food--which keeps things moving efficiently without feeling chaotic. The friendly staff then bring the food right to your table. Speaking of the staff, their work ethic and rapport are truly exceptional. You can tell they are proud of the operation and genuinely enjoy working with one another. As for the menu, the Syrah was exactly what I was hoping for and thoroughly enjoyable. The Chicken Gnocchi was excellent--cooked to a perfect al dente and packed with delicious pieces of chicken, bacon, and asparagus. It was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented; I intended to snap a photo but just couldn't wait to dig in! I finished the evening with coffee and the Key Lime Cheesecake. Restaurant coffee is often an afterthought, but this cup was wonderfully smooth and delicious. It was the perfect pairing for the cheesecake, which was incredibly fresh, perfectly set, and topped with beautifully ripe strawberries and a strawberry sauce underneath. (A quick, honest note for picky eaters: it didn't come with the mango puree that was advertised, but it was so delicious I didn't mind at all).

It's a wooded setting, which offers plenty of shade, and makes outdoor seating so nice. They also have a nice bar area indoors, if that is your preference. The servers are very polite and amiable. We enjoyed a bottle of Grand Red, which had a nice full bodied flavor. Very nice wine.

Stopped in on a warm Sunday (for March). We had our dog so I specifically called ahead and asked if…read morethey were dog friendly. She said yes, and then put me on hold to ask her manager if we could sit on the upper patio since it wasn't very busy. She said they would make an exception, so we drove out from another winery. After finding a table off to the corner (there were only two other tables occupied at the time)- the waitress said we had to move across the "parking lot" to an open gazebo that was clearly not set up for service yet. So we moved, but since we were in nowhere land we decided to just put the dog in the car to enjoy our wine back on the patio. I understand if you are not dog friendly, but I did call ahead and wouldn't have showed up if I knew we weren't going to be sitting within distance to enjoy the atmosphere. As for food - we ordered the artichoke dip and it had about 3/4 cup of dip - the rest was a chunk of bread. Margarita pizza was good. We'd come back again, but bummed how the evening went.

Inside is a large room with a central fire place. Real wood burning. And a 2nd room that can handle overflow or a party. Staff is friendly. You can order lunch/dinner.

Get a bottle of wine and relax. In the summer enjoy the music and patio.

Both of us were very satisfied by our selections. I also enjoyed the cheeseburger and fries that I got from their outdoor grill. The burger was about a third of a pound, and topped with your choice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and/or onion. It was cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed eating it in their outdoor seating area, in a grassy location nestled under the trees. Beautiful setting, with lots of plants and flowers. An added bonus was the live music provided by a band that entertained us.
