Our experience was a once in your lifetime evening. We had a private dining room to ourselves due to the pretty weather drawing everyone outside. The service was wonderful from Sophie our server, and her knowledge of the expansive property, wine list, and chef preparations was top notch. The ambience was perfect for a cozy family dinner being quiet, and slower paced. Everything was clean, and the food wellill worth every expense. Portions were generous, and everything tasted wonderful. Only areas of improvement I would note are these. First, staff could ask about allergies at the beginning of the meal to give diners a more comfortable experience. Secondly, the decoration in the tables appeared cheap - like you bought gaudy decor off of Amazon. l'd recommend classing it up with fresh flowers and lighting the candles in the dining space. Overall, we will be returning MANY times in the future and cannot wait to patronize this JEWEL of a find for years to come.

This was our second time here and won’t be our last. Food is great, staff is friendly and the local wine is way better than some of the other local wineries.

Brunch and Harpest was incredible! Everything and, of course, the wine and Mimosa were top-notch.

We were expecting the same attention to detail as Jolo and Rayson just doesn’t measure up. The young man that did our tasting was very friendly but not very knowledgeable. He also slammed other local wineries and we did not appreciate that. The tasting was constantly interrupted by servers trying to pour drinks and literally taking the bottle out of the young man’s hand as he was pouring for the tasting. For dinner, the food was great but service was not good. We kept having to find our server to ask for apps, then to ask to order our main dish, refills, the bill. Plus there were so many flys. We could hardly eat because we were swarmed with flys. 3 times they landed in my glass of wine and I asked for a new glass. Service and attention to detail need help here JW.
