Monticello Vineyards & Winery

Beautiful grape farm. Wine is spectacular and the owner is awesome. Everybody should try.

Unfortunately not great. My employer likes cases from a variety of family businesses and there were 2 of us to taste 6 wines... That's 2 tastings (3 each) and we share! Lady said we could only taste 3 wines or buy 4 tastings to taste all 6... Huh? The whole experience became so difficult that we just left. It was not fun.

We found this place by happenstance, coming home from Monticello.The gate was open so, we drove in and called/texted as requested by a sign on the road.Our host, Cynthia, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We did the taste test, of course! The port wine, Piacere, was a pleasant surprise!It was a more intimate wine sampling than I've experienced at other vinyards. We were also greeted by the gentle dog on-site, who loves pets!If you haven't visited, I highly recommend stopping by!

We went to the Farm tour #15 on Oct 15 expecting to sample and buy some good wines. There were a lot of cars driving out and some drivers were making hand motions to us as we pulled in, There were no samples left except one dry white wine that they were giving out samples in thimble sized shots, we won't be back or buy their wines.

Drizzly Sunday afternoon, so we called ahead. The proprietor confirmed she was open and met us in the front of her quaint office. Very kind woman, easy to talk to. She had the entrance blocked off for social distancing. Would be improved if there were a place to sit with more shade. Her signs have hours, but she can also open by appointment if she expects you.

We visited this location recently. The location is pretty, with all of the grape vines and it is well off the beaten path, but the owner is deathly afraid of the Fauci virus and to that end they would not allow us inside for our tasting. We stood out in the open, with almost no shade from the very intense sun and not a single place to sit for our tasting. We enjoyed two of the wines and purchased 2 bottles so it was not a total waste of a trip (thus 2 stars instead of 1) but the entire situation was extremely uncomfortable. I understand being scared, everyone gets that way on occasion, but at least provide a couple of seats and some relief from the sun for a wine tasting. The exact opposite experience from the "winery" we visited the day before in Thomasville, GA. They had a very pleasant indoor environment to sit in and enjoy our tasting.

I stopped off while traveling because Google maps "knows" to alert me when there's a vineyard nearby. There was no option for tasting due to the covid pandemic and I understood. I was thankful she took the time to meet me and tell me about the vineyard. I purchased 2 bottles based on her detailed description and recommendation after I shared my likes and dislikes. I could not be happier with my selections! I am planning to travel back just to spend time at this vineyard

Visited this vineyard during farm tours this year. The people were nice however they were completely unprepared and we had to wait quite awhile to sample the wines. Then we were given really tiny plastic medicine cups for tasting. Barely enough wine to cover your tongue. Regardless we bought a few bottles that we liked ranging between $15-$18/bottle. When we got home they had given my friend a dry red instead of the semi-sweet red she had purchased. The semi-sweet red that I purchased turned out to be Brown and putrid, totally undrinkable. I like to support local industries, but for that price, I expect alittle more quality control.

This is not your typical winery.A rainy Sunday afternoon, in between thunderstorms, I rang a bell at the end of a muddy trail on the Forgotten Coast of Florida. Two friendly dogs and the farm owner came to greet us within seconds.A thirty year passion was presented to us and our minds were blown. Some were out of this world. Some were not for our palettes, but she prepared us based upon what we told her we preferred.This was truly a wine tasting experience and I will be returning to help harvest the native grapes.Like No OtherPS:I had to return for a second visit. Thank You for being an inspirational pioneer and sharing your passion.

Best grapes I have ever used for making my homemade jelly from.

My family and I enjoyed our visit. We enjoyed the grape picking and the lesson on the varieties of grapes on the farm. Thank you Cynthia and Carson!

Sampling was a bit too skimpy to get a good estimate of the wines. Ended up guessing correctly on our choices.

Great time! A lot of variety for a smaller vineyard. The owner was knowledgeable and personable.

Fabulous time!
