Portions are large and served promptly. One item on their "sampler platter" was hushpuppies. All of the member in the group agreed these were some of the bests we'd eaten. Highly recommend!

We've traveled past the area on so many of occasions, but never at the right time to ensure that we…read morecould stop and try the winery out. This time we were planning a trip to the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, OH for the weekend. We planned it perfectly to allow us to stop here first when they open up. When we arrive, it's like most wineries that we've ever been to, it's in the middle of no where, long drive on back roads, which always tells us this is going to be good. :) We arrived and as soon as you see the location of the winery, it's breathtaking, as it sits on a hillside and oversees the area of beautiful nature, it's incredible. They have seating as you arrive in the front of the winery, on the side in a shaded area and in the back, in which where we preferred. They have several large areas around the property where they grow their grapes at on the property. The owner was very sweet and nice, as I like to ask too many questions, but she was kind and provided me some feedback. Majority and if not all of the wine is sourced from the estate directly. Some of the grapes they had to outsource because of a bad growing season and or they aren't planting any longer. Importantly enough they stay local in Ohio, but one of the grapes they obtain from New York. Moving on about the important part is the wine. We both tried our own flights, I had the Chambourcin, Country Ridge, Terra Red and Crooked Creek. They were all very good. The Chambourcin is a dry red aged in an american oak barrel, and has an amaging taste. The Red is a blend of two different red wines and my favorite, and the Country Ridge was another favorite as it was an off-dry red. My wife loved the white wines. The wines were all excellent. This was our first stop and didn't want to leave, that's how nice it's here. These are the type of wineries we enjoy stopping at. I asked the owner how long they've been here. She said interesting story that they've been here officially 27 years, but opened up 4 years after purchasing the property and planting the grapes. It allowed the grapes enough time to actually be prepared enough to make an estate wine. She said when they seen the property was for sale and it was 1200 acres, they purchased 55 acres, signed the paperwork and 3 days later they owned the property. What an amazing story they have. This is a special place to visit and indulge on the wine. She also made a recommendation on a restaurant in Wooster, OH that we took her up on her recommendation, and she was right, it was awesome. I highly recommend visiting this establishment. So worth it. One more thing the name of the winery, why Terra Cotta? I didn't ask but should have. One cool thing is when you are served a cheese board and or anything it's all on a terra cotta material. Very cool. How about the prices, they're right to the point.

Driving out to the vineyard, you will experience beautiful views and then you will be rewarded once you get inside. Plenty of parking outside and the winery looks out on their rolling vineyards. Terra Cotta is owned by a couple who have been making wine for a while. The winery has been open for 17 years, but their experience extends beyond that. We went early on a Friday afternoon and since it was slow, we had an opportunity to chat with the owners. I was impressed with their participation in local community events and their connections to other wineries around Ohio (they know the owners of several). They were set up for a nighttime event on the day we were there and they do Paint and Sips occasionally as well. Although you won't get Terra Cotta wines at the big Ohio Wine Fest in Kirtland or the North Market Wine Fest in Columbus, it's worth the drive out there to try out the wines and find one you like. They have everything from sweet to dry. Our favorite was the Terra Red, so we bought a bottle. My only regret is that we didn't get to try all of their wines, but we were on a road trip, so we just sampled this time around. Hopefully we can get back there soon!

Coming back for a second visit over Memorial Day weekend honestly confirmed everything I thought…read morethe first time around. What started in January as a random stop traveling back from Florida has quickly turned into one of those places that feels impossible to pass up when we are anywhere nearby. This place was busy all afternoon, and honestly, I think that says everything about what Killing Tree has built out there. Great wine, great food, live music, a beautiful property, and a crowd that genuinely seemed happy to be there. It feels less like a winery and more like a community gathering spot. Shannon took care of us this visit and was fantastic from beginning to end. The fact that she remembered me from months ago completely caught me off guard and immediately made us feel welcomed back. That kind of personal touch matters and you can tell the staff truly cares about the experience people are having. The pizza was outstanding, the BLT with turkey added on was piled high, and somehow that bottle of Gosh Dang disappeared way too fast sitting out there in the sunshine. There is just something special about this place. Relaxed, welcoming, beautiful, and incredibly easy to lose track of time at. Already looking forward to trip number three.

BF and I were trying to do everything Amish and local for our Valentine's weekend in Dresden, OH…read moreand we picked this place based on their really nice website. Gotta say, the website was much more impressive than the actual place. This wasn't too far of a drive from Dresden Inn but coming back, we got turned around because of the lack of lights, signage and skinny roads. They have plenty of parking and the string of lights outside was cute. I asked the waitress TWO times whether the sweet potato fries for the sandwich entree was extra and she confirmed TWICE that it was not an extra cost. Welp, upon paying, guess what? It was $4 extra! Just look at my picture to see that like 12 skinny AF fries are NOT worth the extra charge! Their house chips were great. I ordered the brie & jam sandwich and it was filling and delicious. I also ordered a crispy chicken salad and was pretty disappointed at the quality. I abhor cheese shavings on salad (they don't belong on salads!) and there was just mounds of very processed looking cheese. There was not enough chicken pieces for the price, too many croutons, no onion or enough tomato; just cheap lettuce. They don't serve regular glasses of water here. It was all crushed ice! We suspected they were just pre-wine slushies! This was really odd. There's not real wait service but since we sat upstairs, people needed to bring stuff up so I did tip a usual amount. I wanted to experience more of a country, made from scratch type of setting so was not too happy with the very Chilis/Applebee quality and presentation of their food.

One of the Best Wine Tastings We've Ever Experienced!…read more Wine Tree Vineyard is truly something special! We've been to a lot of vineyards and wineries in different wine regions and countries, and honestly, we've never experienced a small vineyard with wines this good. Every wine we tasted was impressive -- so much so that we couldn't leave without taking a bottle home! What really made the experience stand out was how much they get it. Craig did an incredible job explaining each wine, how it's made, and what makes each one different. You could tell he genuinely knows and loves what he does, and that made the tasting feel personal rather than just another wine tasting. The wines, the knowledge, the atmosphere, and the overall experience were all exceptional. If you enjoy wine, Wine Tree Vineyard is absolutely a must-visit. We've been to many vineyards over the years, and this one has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorites. Do yourself a favor and go -- and be prepared to leave with a bottle (or two)!

We arrived right when they opened, and the owner, Craig, gave us one of the best wine tasting experiences we've ever had. He took the time to explain wine in a way that made the whole experience so much more enjoyable and personal. I'll admit, my husband was hesitant when we first pulled up because the outside doesn't immediately scream "winery," but I told him to trust the process. I'm so glad we did because we ended up bringing home a case of wine with nine different varieties because we couldn't pick favorites. We loved them all. Craig also told us about their wine and food pairing dinners, which sound amazing, and his wife Candy does the meal pairings. We're already talking about getting a group together and making another trip back. Bonus: they also have a very sweet dog named Cooper who was the perfect winery greeter!

The live music was really good and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the alpacas. I'd come back to give this one another shot if just for the scenery alone.

Be sure to add Yellow Butterfly to your list of wineries to visit!…read more My friend from out of state visited a month ago, so we dedicated a Saturday to visiting some wineries in the valley. If you can't tell from all of the photos in the reviews, the landscape is absolutely stunning. They also have alpacas on the property which are fun to watch. The main portion of the winery is in a renovated barn. The inside is just as stunning as the outside. I may be partial since yellow is my favorite color, but the outside of the bar is gorgeous as well! Our service was wonderful. The two women working the bar were friendly, very helpful, and quick. The wine is also delicious. I always recommend getting a wine flight so you can taste a variety. Yellow Butterfly does a great job with their fruit wines! Their only downfall is their food menu. They often have a food truck, but it's not always what you are typically looking to eat with wine (there was a bbq truck when we were there.) Aside from this, they have bags of pretzels and other small snack to purchase. We wished we could have had a charcuterie board or at least some cheese and crackers with our wine. All in all, the Yellow Butterfly is a must!
