So we were able to experience the wine festivals this yr on 3/2/24 in Toledo. I must say it was really nice we had a blast. Now I must say this company from what we were able to try had some pretty good wines. But that is not all a business should operate on.So towards the end of the event we were able to finally get in their line and have a fewsamples which the line only had 6/8 people in. The guy that assisted us was older tall with glasses can’t recall his name, but I don’t forget a face. He proceeded to tell us about the wine we requested to taste & its sugar content.So after tasting 2 wines which we are allowed 4 tasting from each vendor. I ask to taste my 3rd sample to which he says No very firmly and when I asked why he states it’s people behind you. It’s about ( maybe 5/6 ppl at this point) Not 20/30 like earlier in the night. And we waited in line just like everyone else. So instead of going back & forth. I see there is a line no one is in same vendor so I step over & ask the young lady politely can she pour me a sample of a certain wine to taste to which the person I am with has had a sample & feels I would like it enough to buy a bottle. And to my understanding they don’t have that many bottles of this wine left. The guy looks at her & basically says NO with his eyes. So instead of him remaining professional & courteous to the customer .He puts his hand up telling us to go away fanning us off with his hand. In response I say how rude and we get back in line.We reach the front of the line to be served again & I say now can I have that sample of wine, he looks at me very annoyed & firmly says no & voices to me like I am a child that since I asked the young lady for a sample that he wouldn’t serve me. Then proceeded to become argumentative instead of hearing me the costumer & not continuing to be rude, disrespectful & unprofessional. Me stating to him there was a better way. All he had to say if you don’t mind getting back in line so we can serve the ppl behind you. No he never once asked us to get back in line or made us feel like that was an option.At this point I guess the owners over hears what is going on & steps in.Now in his defense, not an apology for his employee behavior was given. But he leads with he has worked for him for 13yrs & he’s only doing what I tell him. And then expressed they have worked all day with no break/lunch since noon. I empathize with them, but that is still no excuse to treat ppl that way. He further states when I asked how often do they participate in wine fest (Every year he says) Now that being said help me understand. How is that okay when the owner & staff knows what this event intels. Either bring more staff or dnt have ppl with that type of attitude front and center to represent your company. Why the owner was more courteous it’s like he was okay & condoned his staff attitude/behavior. I try to not be like the ppl that makes this world so unbalanced so I did buy one bottle of the wine that was such a hassle & difficult to get a sample of. Again the way you treat ppl & first impressions are everything.And it appears from other reviews that I am not the only one that have experienced rude & off putting behavior & for that ⭐️ only.

SUCH A CUTE AREA! The vibes are amazing. Everyone is so happy and helpful. The land is BEAUTIFUL. It's a great spot to get together with friends or a day date. We did the wine tasting before purchasing a bottle and got to KEEP THE GLASS. How fun ?! A must try is the woodfired pizza.

Good selection of wines. Something for everyone. Good pizza and some bar food like soft pretzels and beer cheese dip. Also some beer on hand. Sometimes music. Firepits.

Owner does not like children. Went to their annual public event (with food trucks etc…) and they were not allowing our children to attend with us. Even though the event on fb did not say anything about no children.Would not recommend, if I can’t take my kids with me for a event labeled as public then they don’t get to have my money.

Came to see a family friend play in a band, wasn’t allowed to bring in a water bottle because a lady brought “vodka” in her water bottle the night before. We were told that there was water here that we could have, which meant we could purchase a bottle of water. Stumpy man in blue jeans and low glasses very rudely came to ask a member of the band if he was ready after their break and when we looked a little surprised said “I’m paying him to play”. When deciding what bottle of wine to get we were told that we couldn’t do tastings because they weren’t doing tastings tonight, but multiple other people we talked to had tastings. Very confusing and hostile place. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy.

Just attended a private event hosted here and the wedding was beautiful, however the owners are rude and annoying.
This winery located a short distance from downtown Hamilton and located in an attractive rural setting. We went for an evening that had live music. You can bring your own lawn chairs (they also have limited tables and chairs). What a relaxing way to enjoy local wine and music. They also have beer (craft and domestic) and bourbon available. You can do a wine tasting. Their wines range from sweet to dry. They offer a limited food and charcuterie menu.

Have been meaning to try this place for awhile. Went last weekend with a friend. We had a great time. Wine was really good, had a large selection of red, white and rose. Scenery was great as well. Had a small lake with fountain and plenty of tables in the green space area. Made for a great afternoon adventure. Bought 2 bottles and I thought they were very respectably priced.
