Good wine, and I really like the vibe.

We love it here awesome little spot. Keeps improving every year. Great wines and ambience. Only place they fall short is the food truck. Don't waste your time. Hopefully they upgrade to someone else in the future.

Fun winery on the North Shore! Went there with my daughter and her friend. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable setting. Food truck and a nice charcuterie selection. We stuck with the cider sampler and enjoyed most of them.

Stopped here while staying Luetsen with friends. Beautiful venue. We sat outside on a beautiful September Sunday afternoon. Someone ordered cheese (Brie), crackers and sausage and they hit the spot. Visiting a vineyard is not usually for me but this was very nice. We didn’t order from Goldie’s but also looks like a good choice. This may have been a food truck.

Not a bad diversion on the North Coast. The ciders are all dry, and they don't really retain much apple fragrance. We sampled five and they didn't differ much. The premium tasting has five wines all similar dry reds, most above 15%, none very dark (the merlot is pale). The grapes are shipped in from California. This is probably the best winery within 100 miles. Atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly so if you're looking for something to do on a hot day, go for it. Not my wife's favorite.

This place is 10/10. A lovely, relaxing stop. Sit inside amongst the soon-to-be wine barrels or outside on the gorgeous patio. A basket of blankets is available for comfort along with campfires and heaters. Live music and a food truck on a Summer day. Not to mention the wine, which is exceptional. This place is a must-stop every time I’m in the area! Highly recommend!!

Worth the drive ??

HORRIBLE. I think it’s funny that people can put the word winery on the outside of the door and think that everything’s going to be awesome. The white wines are absolutely trash and the cider I’m pretty sure they drained from an old Ford engines. Reds were drinkable and Temperance was also ok. I’m not a wine snob, but I’ve been to Oregon and California many times and I can’t believe how bad the smell was from four out of the five ciders sampled. One of them actually smelled like skunk and the other smelled like hand soap ( Ginger and peppermint- not kidding)..

This place used to be decent, but I can’t believe how bad the stuff tasted. I’ll never go back.

Loved our visit! The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in the door. Great wine & great company! A perfect rainy, early evening activity on the North Shore; highly recommend!

Nice establishment with some good wine served. Liked the zinfandel.

Absolutely lovely with a solid selection of wines and ciders. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Plus a breathtaking spot on Sku Hill with some views of the water. We moved from outdoor spot to indoor screened area when the rain started. It was great to have the space but the full height and view screens made us feel like we were still outdoors. We could have stayed all afternoon because it was so peaceful here. I’d highly recommend some Cornhole games out by the seating and parking lot, just to keep me awake & moving my body :) The wines were good with grapes from California. I liked the 4th in the flight, the blend. Plus the Cab. The ciders were not quite as dry or vivacious as what we’d like, but good nonetheless. Especially the ginger. With a yummy selection of snacks, it was well worth the stop!

Very welcoming staff and beautiful setting! There is plenty of room inside and outdoors. We liked the cider!

Wine was fabulous, ciders were even better, and the folks working were SO KIND. We were here camping and got a bottle of wine after doing some tastings and they made sure we were all set to enjoy their wine at our campsite. 10/10 would recommend.

We really enjoyed our cider flights. The prices and flavors were just right. We enjoyed having drinks made with local fruit. The environment is nice and the option of sitting outdoors with blankets, heaters and fires is inviting and we hope to do that next time. I appreciated that they had some vegan snack options (crackers and olives) as well.
