We stopped in on a road trip to new york earlier this month mid week and were welcomed in by nice knowledgeable staff as well as owner..Mr. Farmer who we could tell is very proud of his wines, staff and winery operations. Wines were excellent, nice walking through the vines with Farmer and having him explain the growing to bottle process. Recently took 4 awards for 4 wines in local wine competition! We ended up with the Marquette Red blend. Very peaceful in the country surrounded by corn fields...quite nice break from Los Angeles! Thanks again!
The Winery is Scenically situated on county Rd #9 near Wauseon Ohio. The winery has inside seating with AC and an outdoor patio! We choose the patio to listen to the band Sugar Frog. The staff were exceptionally friendly and very nice to talk to! The outdoor temperature was a very warm 90 + degrees. Although I m not a wine expert my favorite was Knotty Red. The snacks were superb and reasonably priced. With the heat we had more H2O than anything else. The property was maintained in an AAA condition. The pictures of the property on their Web Page are exactly what they have. Except for the temperature we had an excellent time ( we could have went inside; however we chose outside). Would we return to this venue in the future? Short Answer is yes we would!
This is a small, family run winery. The owner is happy to meet customers and share about his wines. The pride he takes in winemaking is contagious. He has so much passion. The wines themselves are delightful. The patio is nice in summer, even if small, and the inside is cozy. They have music some evenings. The meat and cheese tray may look simple but it is some of the freshest, most delicious meat and cheese you can find!!! He supports other truly local family farms for the food. It's Tri-state cheese (super creamy and amazing) & Pettisville meats 🍖 🤤
Staff was very nice! I asked to do a tasting and the lady at the counter prepared the tray and crackers per usual. She said I could be seated around the corner in the lounge. I let her know i was in a hurry and asked if i could just stand were I was and try my choices to save time. She was more than happy to oblige. I tried mainly the fruit wine and it was delicious! I will definitely be back!!
We had a party of 6 at the fish fry. The fish was great, The coleslaw the best. For dessert was a home made black Forrest cake. Wonderful! Of course, the winery is very clean and neat. The wines are delicious. They now have craft beers. You must try the hard cider!
