Fantastic winery, beautiful place! The wines were amazing and our server, Bree, was informative and so very friendly. Add an inquisitive cat, Tuxedo, and a delicious bottle of wine and you get a very peaceful and relaxing afternoon!! It is too bad you are so far away from us! (Indiana)

Excellent wine and beautiful facility. We stopped for a tasting and the servers were very helpful and friendly. We had a variety of wines, many of which we liked, chose one to have out in the garden with a sandwich from Wallace Station. I would recommend to anyone. They have fruity wine, reds , whites, blushes, and dessert wines. Something for everyone. We will be back!

This was our first stop in the winery tour day. Lexi was so pleasant and well versed on the different wines. It was hard to decided which ones to purchase so we bought multiple with Bella Rosso Port being our favorite. The scenic loop is worth the drive grapes vines on one side and the south Elkhorn creek on the other.
