    Have you ever wanted to feel like you're in California while sippin' on the Mississippi? Well Wide River Winery is the Place for you. The chic tasting room is cozy and welcoming, and there is ample outdoor seating, with a gorgeous hillside view of the Mississippi River Valley. From refined dry reds to refreshing sweet whites WRW's menu will satisfy any Sommelier.

    I stopped in here on an early Tuesday evening while I was in the area with my sister. It was a nice quiet visit since there was only one other group there at the time. We sat at the bar and were greeted with a tasting list. The woman that helped us was very friendly and helped guide us through our wine tasting selections. We had such a nice time! I bought a bottle of our favorite to take home. The best part, aside from the delicious wine, was that the $8 tasting (5 samples) included a wine glass to take home! That was an unexpected bonus! When I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back.

    Awesome tasting experience.. even for somebody that doesn't frequent wine! Our group stopped in and all enjoyed it so much we split a case to take home! Our pourer was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with our experience. The wine menu was detailed and helped us make our choices for the 5 samples we each got! For $8 a person with a glass, it seemed like an affordable experience (again, I don't frequent wine tastings). I'm sure we will be stopping in again next time we're in town!

    Very Friendly and inviting atmosphere. Can't beat the $7 tasting and free wine glass.

    Only winery I've been to that does not serve glasses of wine. You have to buy the whole bottle. Doesn't make sense.

So, we called around 10:30 and no one picked up. And when we left a voice-mail, they called us back saying that they called last night, which they didn't. That they told us the itinerary, which they didn't. The tour was supposed to start at 11, but they started at 10 and they had already started without us. On the website it says it starts at 11 on Sundays. Did I miss something? I am extremely disappointed. I really wish that they actually called us ahead of time and left a voicemail and informed us that it was canceled or that they decided to take another group, so that we had alternative plans for this weekend. We are disappointed that we missed out on other potential outings due to the lack of communication. We were really looking forward to the tour honestly. Instead, we feel like they are gaslighting us to believe that we are in the wrong by saying we never picked up and that we would've gone on the tour had we answered. Trust me, we would've picked up had we received a call. If we received an apology for the lack of communication, I would gladly rescind this review. It's a shame how they choose to approach their customers. I'm sure it would've been very fun to go, but based on my experience, I can't recommend.

    This is rating is for this place as a lunch spot. Probably not going back. Walked in said hello,…read morewaitress (hotess? idk, first time here) walks up, then instead of greeting us, goes to the cash register to our left. Busily says "hi" and nothing else, then waves over a couple to ring up. There's no one else around. We stand in place. And wait and wait and wait. She never says anything else to us and she's three feet to our left. Because she didn't say we could seat ourselves, we waited for her to finish ringing up the couple. Once she had, she almost annoyed told us to sit wherever we wanted. So, this waitress no bueno and she does her job like she hates it. I was glad she did not wait on us. Please have a greeter, or a sign or something. Be aware this is the rural midwest (I grew up here, I get to criticize). Everyone will stare at you as you walk in and find your seat if they don't know you. It's because the duality of the midwest commands that you say hi to them, but because they don't know you from church, they will not say hello back. Just ignore them. It's the only way to get a midwesterner to stop icily staring at you: say hello to them. If they don't know you from church, they'll move on. I know most locals will love this place, but I didn't enjoy it. It was nothing special and I was hoping for a nice, fun little lunch. No fun. Just lunch, and a very so-so lunch. Cavernous space, adjacent to an even larger event space. Service was fast, perfunctory. Small kitchen, they do soups and sandwiches for lunch. Soup was good, sandwich was meh. It's all the very standard lunch fare. Not a food destination. I'll also say it's not much of a wine destination. Each of ours tasted really green to me and I don't consider myself a wine snob. I've simply drunk lots and lots of wine. They removed the only non-sweet white wine from the menu, the one I wanted to try. Lovely view of the property out back. I remember when the front house was an abandoned property many years ago. I wish them well, but it's not for me. It's more an event space

But why tell me to write about something six months ago? Okay, here goes That was our second trip to Lavender Crest and it was nicer than the first. It's just off the I-80 and they have the most beautiful facility. My limited notes are from six years ago with Melanie as an outstanding server and our last encounter with a very pleasant, Christina. The service is excellent, the food is excellent. I look forward to the wine tasting, as well. Very knowledgeable attendants and not too stingy on the pours. Yes, we tip generously and usually walk out with a case or two. So who's zoomin' who?

The ceremony took place on a covered large patio, in front of a wood burning fireplace that added to the ambiance. The reception was filled with an incredible countertop full of delectable charcuterie artfully arranged and just as delicious tasting as it was beautiful. They did such a wonderful job serving all the guests appetizers, drinks at the bar, and a multi course dinner, as well as the wedding cake. The brisket was so tender, it fell apart as soon as you put it on your plate. There was ample parking within the beautiful vineyard. I can't think of one thing that could have been better. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was romantic, and the venue just could not have been more special.

It was a busy evening and there was a little wait, as to be expected, for our food. It was delicious pizza! I loved having a fresh pizza with fresh ingredients- the difference is noticeable from the usual fast food pizza. After some photos with the sunset, we went to take a look at the goats and chickens. It was a cute way to end the evening. I would highly recommend coming here with the family.

    I am really disappointed (understatement) with the service of ibus Road Tours. Ugh!!…read more Was in the making of a birthday bus/ girls night bus tour with them for over a month now. They offered to allow me to 2 tickets that I won at Benz beer Fest if I booked a group of 8 or more and agreed to plan a tour for me on Friday 8/19 It took weeks to figure out the details as they would only communicate thru FB messager and NEVER answer their phone nor call me back. it also took a minimum 4 days to get a reply. After all that, they messaged me at midnight last night saying they aren't going to provide a bus for our event. 10 days to go and now we have no bus. Now in trying to reach out and express concern, they blocked me. Geesh! Like a "mean girls club" I guess. Really unprofessional, and poor service. I'd think twice (or 3 times) before ever reaching out to them for a booking.
