Seating So many choices-covered patio with sofas, chairs. Inside bar, low and high tables-great for groups. Service The best-friendly, attentive Menu So many wines to choose from- the cava is from Spain! Hippo, Crazy train, velvet, opulent! My co worker begs fir the sparkling rose! Dry-not overly sweet. The charcuterie board is plentiful of cheese variety, meat, nuts, chocolate covered coffee beans, dried apricots! The pizza is yum as is the chocolate chips cookie served warm!

The proprietor kindly explained the wines that he wanted us to taste, while he shared a bit with each of us.

I've been thinking about our visit to Square Cloud for months, literally. I've been to over 100…read morewineries, mostly on the US eastern coast (FL to Canada) and Square Cloud has been an absolute stand out. My wife and I have wildly different tastes in wine but both found wines we loved and also had a fantastic experience. 2+ hours of talking to the owners and other customers about life, the universe, and, of course, wine! An absolute recommendation for a visit where you get to pick how 'in-depth' you make it. Take suggestions from both of the knowledgeable owners- they know their grapes, growing environment, and aren't afraid to be creative. What more could you want? Specifics: intimate, caring, and practically hand picked experience with great selection range; be open to trying new wines. Wine visit for people who genuinely love wine.

My wife and I tried this winery this past weekend and it was hands down the best Texas wine we've…read morehad! We've tried numerous places and have had great experiences but this was the best wine. The owner, Jackson, had an incredible passion for his wines which were all made with grapes grown right on the property. He was very knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of education. It's great to drink some wine and leave with a little more wine knowledge than you arrived with. If you are looking for a great tasting experience which included several free tastings (probably 8 wines or so) and a few more for just $5 then please put this place on your rotation. You won't be disappointed and you'll probably leave with a few bottles of your favorites. Keep it up Jackson!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the host and seated right away. The service…read morewas genuinely excellent-our server was kind, attentive, and even took a moment to interact with our toddler. We noticed several other families there with young kids, so this is definitely a kid-friendly spot. When we first arrived for dinner, the restaurant was pretty empty and we weren't sure what to expect but don't let that fool you, it's no reflection of the experience or quality. The drinks were amazing and the food did not disappoint. The shrimp and grits were incredibly flavorful, the loaded tots were absolutely delicious and my husband's salad was fresh and crisp. The housemade "croutons" aka seasoned crackers were good! do not skip those. We will absolutely be back!

We sat at the bar and grabbed a drink for happy hour and a burger as well. I went with the bourbon margarita which was frozen and unlike anything I've had before and it was delicious. My husband had the old fashioned which is always tasty. The happy hour smash burger price is unbeatable at $6 and it was enough for us to share as we only wanted a snack. They even cut it in half for us and put it on two plates which was so nice! The staff is always great! We will be back again soon!

The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. The tour was very interesting and held alot of good and neat information.

(5 stars) A Hidden Whiskey Gem in the Texas Countryside…read more We had the pleasure of visiting 1845 Distilling in Lowry Crossing, Texas, and were warmly welcomed by Bob, the owner, and Miguel, the head distiller--an incredible father-in-law/son-in-law duo who are clearly passionate about their craft. Tucked away in the cooling shade of a pecan orchard, this distillery is a hidden gem just outside of Dallas that deserves a spot on every whiskey lover's map. If you're traveling the Lonestar Whiskey Trail, make sure 1845 is on your itinerary--you'll be glad you did. Bob's Southern hospitality made us feel right at home. He gave us a personal tour of their still house, bottling facility, and beautiful rickhouse, sharing their vision for future expansion along the way. You can feel the pride, purpose, and family spirit in every detail of the operation. After the tour, we settled into their cozy tasting room and recorded an episode of The Whiskey Trip--surrounded by great whiskey, good conversation, and genuine Texas charm. And then there's the whiskey. Their rye bourbon absolutely blew my mind. It had every note and nuance I look for--bold, balanced, and beautifully crafted. Maybe it's the influence of those pecan trees, their precision German stills, or Miguel's talent behind the spirit--whatever the magic is, I was hooked from the first sip. 1845 Distilling is more than worth the trip--it's a shining example of craftsmanship, family, and true Texas hospitality.

Looking forward to returning for their outdoor concerts in the Fall. We did the tour where we also poured a bottle to take home. Flavor of the month is watermelon. Nice that you can also purchase bottles of their vodka as well as merchandise. Afterwards we went a few miles away to "Over Yonder" for delicious food before heading back to DFW.

This came up on my Facebook and since I was planning on going to see the tulips it only made since…read moreto stop here as well since I was I the area. I had reserved a tour for 3 (I highly recommend that you do the tour and if you choose to do a tour that you make reservations in advance as they sell out) and initially I did 2 with bottle fills and one tour. The tours come with a ticket for a drink so that was a nice little extra. As the tour started Ryan & Diego (our fabulous guides) gave us some history of how the company started and as well as the process of how the vodka is made. We got to mix our bottle (as we got the lemon) and fill our bottles. We also got to put the caps on the bottle and see how the line works. At the end of the tour, we also got to taste some vodka. After the tour we decided to go get our drinks and the staff inside were just as kind as the staff taking us on the tour. There are so many drink options that I wasn't sure what I wanted as they have so many flavored vodkas. I was told I could sample the vodkas which I was grateful for as it helped me make a decision. My cousin got the raspberry cobbler and the Bloody Mary - the raspberry was sweet but good and I don't like bloody Mary's but I'd drink this one! I got the blueberry lemon, the prickly pear and the front porch . . . All were good to me. When we were there they had some guys playing music inside which was a little loud but sitting on the porch, it was nice to hear. They also had a pizza food truck outside and my cousin said the pizza was really good. If I could make a suggestion to the establishment I would ask them to PLEASE sell flights! Please please please as there were so many drinks that I wanted to try but unless I was gonna sleep in the parking lot I knew I shouldn't but I guess it's also a reason to come back!
