Great food, wine, and service. Do not skip this place!
Stopped in sort of last minute and a cool winter afternoon. We had a Wonderful experience! Food was excellent! Tried several wine options and ended up bring some home! If you are in the area it's the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat. Great service too!

Great spot on the bourbon trail. Wine slushies and a can of wine! Pulled chicken and smash burger were delicious!

We have driven by many times in the last leg of a drive, too tired to stop. However, today they were our destination stop.I looked forward to trying the wine and both my husband and I were grateful for the on-site cafe as we were hungry and didn’t want to sample wine before eating.Delighted with the menu choices and the set tasting flight, we began our experience.The flight was generous, and from that, chose my two favorites. Lunch consisted of a beautiful roasted chicken wrap served with kettle chips. Hubby ordered the smoked chicken sandwich with a fresh salad. Both so generous we have tomorrows lunch!The wine did not disappoint. I lean toward semi sweet to sweet wines (something i hadn’t found at his folks winery, Horseshoe Bend, (now permanently closed). ALL the wine was absolutely delicious, but I chose two, Blackberry Concord and Bourbon Barrel Blood Orange.We had opportunity to talk with Greg about his delicious wine, cafe and artwork. It isn’t often the proprietor makes time to speak, but Greg made himself available which completed our total experience.We look forward to our next visit!

Food is nothing like the picture I won't say anything else,,,and over priced ?

Amazing - exactly the break we needed while bourboning. The food was great, wine was good (although be aware there are a lot of sweet ones), and service was excellent. Perfect way to chill and “wine down” for a minute in a busy day.

Greg was an awesome host and was very welcoming to my wife, dog, and I. We had a wine tasting and paired it with a charcuterie box. The wine and food were excellent, and the view on the backporch was awesome. Other patrons were enjoying themselves, and it was a fun and positive environment. Would recommend for dates, small groups, or the indoor venue is definitely acxomodating for larger groups. Make a reservation or call ahead if you have questions.

Jesters advertises as being a winery/cafe. It may be a cafe that sells wine, but it is not a winery. Operating a winery is being in the hospitality industry. The lady who served us offered minimal hospitality. No pleasant welcoming. We were told to seat ourselves, but were then told that the four of us were seated at tables intended for a party of eight and that we would have to move if a larger party came in. Of the 8 wine flight, not a single one was drinkable. We are not wine snobs. Our house wine is a Woodbridge or KJ from Sam's Club. Not a repeat for us.
An amazing dinner with even better service, to call Jester's winery a hidden gem in Marion county would be an understatement. I'm baffled this place doesn't have a group of people waiting in line every time I'm there. If you are looking for a place to have a great meal, drink delicious drinks, and look out to a gorgeous view- Jester's is the place for you!

Great food, very tasty wine and beautiful rolling hill views. It's off the beaten path but worth the trip.

We brought in a large party of 15 people for lunch on a weekend in between distillery tours. We were on a tight schedule and had provided our food order before our trip in hopes of keeping to our schedule. When we arrived we had a beautiful table set up and our food was ready and warm for us. The hospitality and service were outstanding and the location is wonderful as well. I would absolutely go back, the food was delicious and with generous portions, overall it was a fantastic experience.

Wonderful place to stop in and grab a quick bit to eat. Beautiful place to sit outside and take in the views. The food is great. Had the chicken tacos and the pulled pork flat bread. They both were great. The flat bread is toasted which was really tasty. Don’t forget to grabbed some of their awesome wine. The blood orange wine is a great sipping wine that was very good with the tacos. Greg gave awesome service. Top notch place to go!!!

Perfect lunch stop between distillery tours. Our meal was fresh and made to order. Sitting outside was peaceful and lovely, you can be in the sun or the shade. The view is beautiful! And the wine slushie was a refreshing treat!
