You'll never mistake Pontchartrain Vineyards' tasting room for one of the distination wineries in…read moreNapa Valley. The building reminded me more of what I would encounter in northern Sonoma, to the west of Healdsburg, or further south in the Paso Robles region. The tasting room is a decent size, although as I was the only visitor at the time, it seemed quite large. Quite a different experience from trying to enter on a Saturday night of a Jazz'n in the Vines concert. There is a patio terrace next to the building which overlooks the vineyard. Since it was a blazing hot June afternoon, I stayed inside rather than sit on the patio. There were seven wines to taste for a modest $5 fee. Four were from sourced grapes (California), two were American/French hybrids grown on the estate and the final was from a native American cultivar, also grown on the estate. All vintages were between 2005 & 2007, except for the recently released Syrah/Cabernet blend which is a 2009. I liked the Roux Saint Louis (a white wine based on the Blanc du Bois grape) as a nice summer wine. The Rouge Militaire is based on the American Cynthiana/Norton (a native red grape). It's a heavier red wine, and still needs a little time to open up. John Seago, the winemaker is often behind the bar, in the tasting room, but was out working the fields on this trip.

Hands down, this is the easiest review I will ever write. With the venue being fairly new, it's…read moretruly a "hidden gem" on the Northshore. I can picture this venue 5 years from now being booked all weekend, every weekend of the year. Our wedding was on October 15, 2022 and we booked the venue in September of the previous year. We toured 6 different venues across New Orleans and the Northshore for our big day. We fell in love with Milićević Farm & Vineyard Venue for so many reasons I can't even count. Most importantly, not a single thing went "wrong" on our wedding day (like everyone was telling us to prepare for). The owners of the venue and coordinators are all so hands on and detail oriented through the whole process. We could tell they truly did care about making sure our day was perfect! Kim and Ivan have created a beautiful, perfectly thought out, one of a kind venue - I would easily say this is the most beautiful wedding ceremony and venue space in Louisiana! Taylor, the Sales Director, was also one of our Day of Coordinators, has now become a friend though the whole process. She is so thoughtful, kind and really makes sure everything goes to plan! The bustle on my dress came undone a few times during the reception (due to how heavy the satin fabric was on my dress), and Taylor was at my side making sure it stayed secured! Laurie was a huge help and also made sure our day was perfect. The bartenders and other day of staff were great. The venue is spacious, so aesthetically pleasing you hardly need any additional decor, and really has every detail you could possibly want. There are multiple options for your ceremony (both inside and outside). The food was amazing and they hosted a beautiful food tasting event prior to our wedding. What makes them different than the other venues we toured and received quotes from? The hospitality, you're able to rent the bridal and groom suite for the entire day, on site bridal and grooms suite with lunch provided, massive wedding guest bathrooms (no lines), two bar locations (also no lines), ability to set up for the reception/ceremony the day before (if there's no wedding), sparkler exit (most venues don't allow), month of wedding coordinator, plenty of onsite parking, rentals and tons of add-on options... I can go on and on. As far as pricing, you pay for what you get! This is a world class facility with phenomenal service and amenities. It's worth it and we couldn't change anything about our day! We received quotes from 10+ wedding venues in South Louisiana and these prices are fair and competitive with similar venues. Our only concern when planning was the distance of the venue from the Covington Hotels. On the wedding day everything was smooth. We had a hotel block at the Courtyard Marriott in Covington and had a shuttle after the wedding for the bridal party and guests to take back. Highly recommend. Low cost and worth no one having to drive 20 minutes back to Covington post wedding. If you're considering, please go tour! THANK YOU MFV for hosting our perfect day!

It used to be a distillery where I came frequently to…read morerelax and enjoy a somewhat sophisticated atmosphere with friends but lately it has gone downhill. I recently joined a large group of colleagues for an end of the year celebration and we talked to the owner ahead of time to setup the event. We put in a request for a specific bar tender to facilitate the event as we have previously had several rude and dissatisfying encounters with a certain bartender who claims to be the bar manager and we wanted to avoid a bad experience. We initially considered going somewhere else to avoid this bartender but ultimately decided to give Sugar field another chance as we have held events here in the past and the owner is usually very accommodating, but that was a mistake. The bar manager worked our event and was extremely rude. She dressed provocatively as she typically does. She even wears open toe sandals and shorts with her butt hanging out. She made several drink wrong and was argumentative when asking her to remake the drinks. She stated, "how can they be wrong if I'm the only one who creates drinks here." She over charged my coworkers, she made ugly faces at us, and had a very unpleasant attitude the entire time. I even heard her tell a customer, "shut the fuck up" unwarranted and unprovoked. This is something I have witnessed during other visits along with bad mouthing other frequent customers and employees including the owners. Sadly, she seems to be there all the time now. The quality of experience has dwindled and is not worth the cost.

One of the highlights for me was a modern twist on the classic Sazerac--an elderberry and amaro version that was complex, unique, and unexpected. I also tried a coffee-inspired Sazerac that was incredibly smooth, with rich espresso notes that balanced perfectly with the bold flavors of the original. It was so good it honestly made me forget about Patrón XO Cafe. Each floor includes a tasting sample along with a recipe card, which was such a nice touch and makes it easy to recreate the drinks at home. The space is very well set up, with elevators and bathrooms on every floor, and you can even see parts of the distillery during the experience. Overall, it's an engaging, well-organized tour that's both informative and fun. Definitely worth it if you're interested in cocktails or want to learn more about spirits.

In hindsight, this absolutely deserved a spot on our itinerary. It's a unique combination of a liquor shop, museum, and immersive experience, where they walk you through the history of some of the iconic drinks that originated in New Orleans. The entire experience from the visuals to the storytelling to the tastings comes together beautifully. I was genuinely amazed that something this well done is offered for free. After the tour, we wanted to pick up a few bottles, but unfortunately they were out of what we were looking for. We even came back the next day, but it was still out of stock, which was a bit of a letdown. The staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. Overall, this is a must-do experience if you're in the area.
