8/9/25 - we went up for the Food Truck event. We are not oenophiles…read more However, we know a few who have birthdays coming up and the staff here know their product. On the other hand this review is for the grounds and buildings. There are only 2 designated handicap parking spots, near the entrance. To use the restrooms you'll need to use stairs. The paths are paved with loose coarse gravel. Potentially a hazard for lower limb amputees and difficult for wheelchair users to navigate. Otherwise it's a pleasant venue

What a great place to enjoy wine, music, food, and the great outdoors!…read more I came here with a large group and was impressed with how much space there is to accommodate folks. We were able to find a couple of picnic tables and spend a few hours enjoy the beautiful weather and sunset. At some point, live music started up, and while they asked for $15 to sit close to where the music was being performed, you could hear it just fine from further out. We didn't make it to the wine tasting or tour, but we did get a small taste of a few different options from the window outside before ordering a bottle to share. They do flights upstairs, but pets aren't welcome upstairs (we had our small dog). We were, however, informed that pets are very welcome on the tour. If we weren't with a large group, we would have taken the tour...they depart frequently throughout the day. There were three food truck options available when we visited, and the 2 we tried were delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

They have great sitting areas with beautiful views to catch up with friends over wine. And you can bring the pups which is a great! The menu is very limited and expensive but tastes good. I don't think you can bring your own snacks which is a bit of a bummer. The staff is knowledgeable and so very friendly.

Aquila's Nest is absolutely worth a visit. We sat in one of their cozy geodesic dome igloos which…read moremakes it such a fun and relaxed experience. The wine flight did not disappoint -- we tried the red, white & a combination, all solid pours. The cheese box is necessary if you're trying the flight ( or you can bring your own food). Highly recommend booking an igloo and making a night of it!

I saw this place on social media, and since I've been to vineyards before, I wanted to try it in…read morethe Fall. My friend and I booked an igloo (thankfully--we'll get to that). Aquila's gives a 30-minute grace period, which helped since the area gets very dark at night and the roads are narrow. I knew ahead of time there would be a lobster food truck and a live salsa band. When you arrive, you check in with the hostess, though there's no clear hostess stand since she's stationed at the end of the bar. The inside was crowded with no available seats, but we weren't there for the band anyway. Our igloo had a heater, but two would've been ideal. They recommend bringing a blanket, which I forgot, but it wasn't too cold--around the high 40s. We tried the "Sweet Wine Flight," which included Sparkling Rosé, Moscato, and white and red wine slushies. The white wine slushy was my favorite. It started raining while we were there, and everyone with fire pits cleared out, so I was extra glad we chose an igloo. They offered a cheese box, but it looked too small, so we stuck to drinks. Our server was polite and brought everything out quickly. Reservations give you two hours, and we had a great time. I like the variety of reservation options they offer. For suggestions: it would be nice to have a real charcuterie board instead of tiny cheese and veggie boxes. The indoor space could also be larger, especially for people coming for the live band, and there are no seats around the bar. Overall, though, it's a cozy spot, and I enjoyed the experience.

We had fun plucking zennias ($.50 each) and wanted to see the sunflowers but did not get a chance to since we saw lightning. Within ten minutes of seeing lightning, a heavy thunderstorm began, which we waited out in the cidery, which is in a large barn. There were three bathrooms and a shared sink. There were also lots of snacks, ciders and spirits available for purchase. You could even buy crackers / cheeses / meats to make your own charcuterie board! It looked like there was a private event while we were there as well as another private event in the evening. I only tried the Kitchen Sink cider which I honestly didn't like at all, but at least the packaging was nice! I also have to give a shout out to the people working at the stand near the parking lot for giving me a free sunflower stem since I didn't get a chance to pick one!

9/14/25: Love coming to Fjord Vineyards!…read more We came for their Oyster Party Weekend. Marilyn greeted us when we checked in. She escorted us over to a table with a marvelous view of the vineyards. Maria was our wonderful and charming server. She came over with a complementary glass of their wonderful rosé wine. I'm not a rosé drinker, but it was delicious. We enjoyed a wonderful flight of wines. Our favorite was their '23 Double Fall Line $32. It has a marvelous smooth blend of Cab Franc, Merlot and Blaufränkisch (Austrian Blue) Grapes. Two bottles came home later. : ) Of course, we had to indulge in some wonderful lobster rolls. Each lobster roll was $23, plus for an extra $9 you get a nice dollop of caviar to top it off ! The lobster was from a company called Oyster Party in the NY area. I think the lobster rolls were some of the best I ever had. Just a couple of notes: - It appears the hill leading up to the vineyard was recently paved. Previously, it was extremely uneven. - Be sure to make reservations online. - Parking is available within steps of entering the vineyard. Can't wait to return! : D
