“This winery is a must go to a visiting the area.

Their ice wine is fantastic and one of the few vineyards, actually holding to that tradition. That varietal is very hard to find.Well made in the united states, regardless of where you're traveling.

The atmosphere is relaxing and the sweetness in the air. We'll allow you time to breathe.Decompress and readjust your thought process with whatever you are thinking or going through in life.

I highly recommend this tranquil vineyard!“

“Eagles Nest Winery is, without question, one of the standout experiences in the area. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting environment that immediately sets the tone for a relaxed and memorable visit.

The wines are easily some of the best you’ll find locally—thoughtfully crafted and consistently impressive across the board. What really elevates the experience, though, is how well everything is paired. The food offerings are exceptional and clearly designed to complement the wines, making each tasting feel intentional and complete rather than an afterthought.

The staff plays a huge role in that experience. They’re engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing—striking that perfect balance that makes you feel both taken care of and at ease.

The setting itself is just as noteworthy. The landscaping is beautiful and well-maintained, creating a scenic backdrop that makes you want to linger a little longer. Add in the live music and thoughtfully curated events, and there’s always something happening that enhances the overall atmosphere.

For those who visit often, the membership program is a great bonus, offering worthwhile perks and discounts that make coming back even more appealing.

All in all, Eagles Nest Winery delivers a well-rounded experience—great wine, great food, and an environment that keeps you coming back.“
