This place is off the beaten path, and aren't the best places these days in this category? We wanted to find a vineyard that wasn't going to have throngs of people, a nice environment, and relax a little with our kids in tow. This place was exactly what we needed. The scenery, just gorgeous. The barn and blue sky served a beautiful backdrop to the vines and forest surrounding us. The tasting room was adorable and cool for those wanting to escape the summer heat. We chose to sit under the shaded patio, surrounded by flowers and tasteful touches with their decor. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. Our kids weren't minded at all, except for by us of course, and they enjoyed walking about as we enjoyed our flights of wine. It reminded me of when we lived in Germany and visited the wineries out there. It was just delightful. Lauren was our wine captain. She walked us through our choices and then we talked about them as we sampled through them. We loved chatting with her. She seems like such an incredibly sweet person and made our trip out there even that much better. We enjoyed all of the wines but can you believe we forgot to grab a bottle when we left. Oh well, it just gices another reason to go back out there! That area is also incredibly pretty. Lots of hiking opportunities nearby so there's a lot to do out there which is always a plus in our book.
