Vinoklet Winery & Restaurant

Feels like a school cafeteria there. Automatic gratuity was ridiculous considering the waitress came to my table 1 time. The wine was good but nothing else was.

I love Vinoklet! The views are fantastic and the wine is delicious. I am from California so I have to admit that initially I was a bit leary of the wine, but to my surprise I found several that I really liked. If you enjoy a full bodied smooth Cab, definitely try the award winning Brother Joe. I am usually there on a Saturday (grill night). Grilling definitely turns into a social event as you have the opportunity to mingle with others while grilling. The sides dishes are very good as well. I know some reviewers have complained about grilling their own meat, especially on a hot day — but that’s all part of the fun! The staff is friendly and helpful. They work together like one big happy family. Oh, and how could I forget the piano player, Rob Lowe?! Rob plays and sings the romantic classics from the Great American Songbook. Vinoklet is truly my happy place!

Very inefficient place.
You have to go back and forth to grab your salad, meat, and then sides to go with it. Then when you’re done, you have to go stand in line to get your dessert. Nothing is brought to your table except water. I think the 18% gratuity is fine in general if something was bought to the table but it isn't.
On the weekends you have to cook your food which is hard when it’s 100 degrees out.
The wine tasting was rushed and we had to stand around the pourer as she gave us different wines to try, she was very impatient when answering questions and didn’t elaborate on flavor profiles or abv of the wine. She kept pointing to the board with the lists of wines but it didn't have any wine details on it.
I do not think I’d come back to this place.

I love it the best place to eat

If I could rate this place with zero stars, I would, but I can’t.

First time here and I can confidently say it will be my last. The staff was extremely indecent, off-putting, and visibly bothered by even the simplest questions. They weren’t helpful at all, almost as if they expect you to magically know how their system/process works. The whole setup is bizarre and completely unorganized: order here, take your ticket there, then somehow figure out on your own when and where to get your food. The only reason we even knew how to get around was thanks to other guests, not the staff.

On top of that, the hygiene of this place is nonexistent. Flies were everywhere, and none of the workers looked presentable in the slightest. The food was beyond average, and the wine was flat-out terrible — and I’m not even a wine person, yet I could tell how cheap and low-quality it was.

The only positive thing about this place? The customers. The locals dining in were genuinely friendly and helpful (Vineoklet, maybe take a few notes from them). And it wasn’t just me — multiple people I spoke with echoed the same frustrations about the rude staff and confusing “rules.”

Overall, just a miserable, disappointing experience and a complete waste of money. Can promise you I won’t be returning.

Love this place! Been coming for years! They have great events every month. And it's a beautiful place to just walk through and drink wine 🍷

The best

The Sweet Jackie wine is amazing and I’m not a drinker. It can be found at some nearby liquor stores. Very pleased I gave this a try.

Great place for dinner and wine

Very nice grounds

This Winery was very beautiful and serene. I tried the flight of all the different award winning wines and enjoyed it very much. I loved the lake and scenery and the host was very kind. Great service and a great winery.

The atmosphere is cool. It's a novelty experience to grill your own meat.
We felt it was a high price to pay for small portions. The food was good but nothing to rave about.
We were automatically charged 18% gratuity but no one waited on us. We sat here for 10 minutes not knowing what to do. We had to get up to get our own food.
The wine was good..

Simply gorgeous winery. We’ve been there for all you can eat spaghetti dinner followed by bluegrass music! Also, grilled to perfection last Valentine’s Day. What a classy fun time grilling your entree with friendly guests! We’ve been to three fall festivals and listened to excellent bands while sipping our wine. The food is delicious! Highly recommend!

My steak was cooked perfect.

Amazing place, friend night, date night
