Had a great time here with some friends! We each ordered a flight of the wines and ciders, and I went home with a bottle of my favorite red. The snacks are yummy, and the staff is very kind! It was a warmer day in February so outside seating was open. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful low key place! Went on a nice September night, enjoyed the sunset in the winery area took nice photos and then had the wine flight and the cheese board. Not a lot of people around, the server was great and loved our experience there! Definitely gonna come back!

Great winery in a nice location. As Washingtonians used to dark reds we thought the wines were fabulous and they had great charcuterie. Great staff.

My wife and I recently did a mid-week walk-in for a wine tasting. As others have commented, the winery is quaint and in our case, the staff was attentive. We each did the $15 red wine tasting and also ordered some food. We enjoyed the wine tasting and as a result purchased a bottle of the Frontenac red wine for $26. The staff bagged the bottle for us and we were on our way. When we got home we took the bottle out of the bag and noticed that it seemed smaller than expected. We checked the label. The contents was 375 ml, which is half that of a typical 750 ml bottle of wine. I was a bit aggravated. Although we liked the wine, we would never have spent $52 dollars on a bottle of wine, which is the equivalent $26 we spent on this half bottle. I think the staff should have clearly total us that we were purchasing a half bottle.

Im so torn on this place....it's really beautiful but I wish they weren't always short staffed. Waited 40 mins to get our drinks at the vineyard. And the paper plates lol. Nooooo, why serve food/charceuterie on paper plates? It takes the experience down a few notches. This place has so much potential.

The winery was packed when we arrived (it was raining so many took shelter), but we were still able to get a table. We had the red wine flights (4x 1.5 Oz) for $15. My friends and I liked the plum island red wine the best. It was sweet, but not overbearing, light and delicious. They make many of the wines in house. Def would like to come back and enjoy the patio next time!

Definitely worth stopping here when visiting the North Shore. On a sunny day, the vineyard is a lovely place to sit down for a glass or a flight. They had a Taylor Swift themed flight this weekend which was 4 different types of rose. They do take reservations but we walked in as a party of 3 on a Saturday afternoon without one and got seated immediately. The servers were lovely and welcoming as well. You can also get small bites with your wine that are shareable.

Stoped in for a quick tasting. We thought they had nice selection wines to choose from. Both the indoor tasting room and outdoor area were very nice. I especially liked the white wine we tried (Nancys Cannon)

Wine tasting and snacks are great. Gluten free options available which were great and the Cider is Yummy! We did a few of the flights being there were 4 of us and allowed us to try more options. We also had the herb dip and we all wanted to take that home. The plates were a nice size for snacks.

It is a 35 minute drive from Salem to this super cute spot that offers 4 different tasting menus. They even had an additional menu for wine tasting to pair with unique cookies! My husband and I ordered the sweet wine tasting. Plum white wine was my husband's favorite, while I enjoyed the rose best. Additionally, we ordered a cheese board, with the gluten free option, and a meat charcuterie board. They offered multiple different gluten free crackers with the board, which is quite impressive. The goat cheese was my husband's favorite selection! They had ample portions for both boards. My only suggestion would be to add a mustard to the meat board. Definitely worth the drive out to try this place. Good wine with food pairings, that was all priced fairly.

Great options for various flights or can get glasses or bottles of wine. Currently offering incredibly tasty and refreshing frozen rosé "frozé" - in either a watermelon mint version) can't taste much watermelon mint but that's great as it's just nice and light and refreshing, or a rosewater lemonade, which just wasn't my taste, but I'm sure others would enjoy. Their Provençe style rose (Shades of Gray Rosé) was delightful and dry. Already sold out of their Naked Chardonnay (steel aged), so we didn't try but must be good. We booked a reservation, place wasn't packed so maybe you don't need one always. Charcuterie plate was nice.

My wife and I stopped at this delightful small winery on our way back from Maine. The winery consists of one small wooden building with an outside patio area. We were greeted right away once we stepped inside. One of the friendly staff members led us out to their outdoor seating area with round tables and a scattering of chairs. It felt like we were hanging out in someone's backyard. Both of us went with the special Father's Day wine tasting flight because it consisted of all red wines. The wines overall were good. Some had some interesting flavor profiles. We bought a couple of bottles to go. If you're in the area, it's worth the stop and it's not too far from the highway.

I went here for the first time for the Mother's Day event. Apparently, it was the first time that they held an event on this special day. I went with my daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment! We were greeted so warmly, and our sommelier was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. I especially enjoyed all the delicious treats that they served with their wines during our tour. Although, not a big vineyard, I liked that is was on the smaller side, making it more of a personal experience. I enjoyed the wines so much that we bought 4 bottles! In addition, this is a woman-owned business! Bonus!

Cute winery, good selection, great atmosphere. They were accommodating for us being walk ins. I would recommend that if you want a preferred spot (outside or in) to plan ahead and make a reservation. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
