Always a treat to have a tasting at the Vineyard. Staff is very low key and fun and their offerings are sure to please. More

We visited this winery this weekend and were appalled at the operation. The server answered most questions with "I don't know". He "forgot" to tell us that we were suppose to sample the chocolate with the wine and then went back after three wines. Lots of people were just milling around not knowing what to do or where to go.... More

Cons: We stopped here one day when we went to about a total of 4 wineries. The service was incredibly bad. The place smelled musty. The "cheese" platter was a joke. I wouldn't go back, even if it were free. Pro: It's nearby enough others that you can easily go to a nice place. More
