I had an unbelievable experience here! The Forthright team is so kind and knowledgeable, and their Merlot is second to none. I highly recommend!
Forthright Winery is a must! I was shocked that this winery I’ve never heard of had won international gold medals, and their wines reinforce the quality. Wonderful experience as the owners and wine makers delivered a phenomenal tasting experience! You won’t be disappointed!
We enjoyed a wonderful tasting which ended up lasting over two hours in which we tried a number of great wines. The highlights were the 2016 pinot noir and the 2018 merlot, the latter sampled from the barrel. Rafer, one of the owners and winemakers, was an excellent host and because the winery is small, we were the only group, so it really was a private tasting for the three of us.
Great people and absolutely amazing wine!!
The Pinot Noir from Forthright Winery is superior to any Pinot Noir that I have ever had at any price point. While this wine pairs well with any meal, I recommend that the first few sips are taken before the meal so that you can taste the complex flavors from the tannins that leave an extremely pleasant after taste in your mouth. It will put a smile on your face. While I don't claim to be an oenophile I sure do know what tastes good as a daily wine consumer.
Smooth delicious reds thank you!
Very smooth reds that I thoroughly enjoyed... Keep up the great work. Tim
The wine, ambiance and location of this winery is outstanding. Patrick is very knowledgable about wines and gave us an amazing overview of the process and some very interesting background on Merlot. Highly recommend!!
Superb wine of course!!! Really nice gift box as well.
Forthright Winery is such a hidden gem. It's unlike any experience I've had at a winery. Not only is the wine exceptional, the atmosphere is so unique. Above all, the host (Rafer) is so personable and knowledgeable about every aspect of the wine making/tasting process. I would absolutely recommend Forthright to anyone looking for a different experience than your typical tasting. I will go back. Thank you Forthright!!

Personable and unique private tasting in their cave amid the barrels and cases of fabulous wines. A special experience with extraordinary winemakers.
We had a wonderful tasting with Vinter Pat McEvoy in their wine cave. Pat was very gracious, and the wines are excellent.
I had the most wonderful experience and the wines are well made and delicious....
