    Amazing new local gem! My parents have been eating here on a weekly basis since this place opened…read more My dad took me on a brief tour, & I saw that it is not only gonna be a great event venue, but they have a nice menu with plenty of good choices at their food trucks. They even accept credit cards (via the Square app, I think?), so it isn't just cash only. They have picnic tables set up in an indoor barn or gin, which is great for those days when the weather is not as nice. But they also have some tables in a really nice lawn area with an outdoor stage, sand volleyball court, tether ball pole, the game where you throw some balls onto rungs of a ladder (I don't know the official name for that game), & corn hole. Currently, the restroom situation is a row of 3 port-o-potties, but they have plans to put in some permanent restrooms. I like the food truck food vendor (or at least the one I have tried so far) with the options for different types of hamburgers. The different varieties of tater tots are also delicious! So far I have only tried the Asian Tots, which is vegetarian-friendly. They also have a grownup grilled cheese sandwich (just let them know that you want it vegetarian ahead of time, so they can know to leave off any bacon). The drink options are plastic bottles (various cokes, teas, & water) iced in a cooler, but they also have eco-friendly (non-plastic, compostable) disposable cutlery, napkins, & to-go containers. They are still open to experimenting with new menu items. As they get more established, & grow with the different phases of the building projects, I definitely want to keep coming back here! I could even imagine a small gift shop corner, where they could sell T-shirts for the venue, different events, &/or different vendors. This might even be a place to consider for a birthday party or a summer concert.

    From the owner: 2 acres in downtown Athens, w/ an acre of Backyard, historic buildings, with new modern buildings…read morecoming soon. Hosting public and private events & local entrepreneurs, such as restaurants and retail.

    My fiancé proposed to me at Tara Vineyard and Winery in Athens, Texas, and it was nothing short of…read morea dream come true. We originally booked a cabin, but after running into an unexpected wasp issue, the staff immediately upgraded us to the estate--the stunning white building in the middle of the vineyard. It was absolutely breathtaking, and we ended up having the entire estate to ourselves. Truly once-in-a-lifetime. Also dog friendly!! Our sweet doggies had a blast. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They were warm, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience. The chef's food was phenomenal--hands down some of the best food we've ever had, not just "good for a winery," but genuinely incredible. A special shoutout to Kevin, the bartender, who took it upon himself to come back after the proposal to take photos for us. That small act of kindness meant the world and helped us capture memories we'll treasure forever. The estate itself is unbelievably beautiful, peaceful, and romantic. Between the vineyard views, the exceptional service, and the unforgettable proposal, this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you're considering staying here, celebrating something special, or just want an extraordinary experience--do it. Tara Winery exceeded every expectation, and we couldn't be more grateful.

    My wife and I tried Tara for the first time for Mother's Day. The atmosphere and ambiance is great…read more The service was ok. The food was disappointing, we both ordered the French toast. We considered splitting a plate as we normally do for breakfast out. However, thankfully we each ordered an entree. Each plate included three small triangles of toast and a spoon of fruit. We each had a mimosa. The meal for two was $147 with the included gratuity. We both left hungry and shocked at the price for what we received. Very disappointed
