About Heineman Winery

Heineman Winery offers a friendly atmosphere with a wide selection of wines and souvenirs. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings, including the popular "second sweetest wine," paired with a cheese tray. The winery provides a relaxed setting, making it a great place for a fun day out. Online ordering and delivery are available, often with personalized touches.

The winery is well known in Ohio for its tours. Guests can receive a glass of wine or grape juice of their choice during the visit. The tour guide is very knowledgeable, making the short tour interesting and worth it. Customers also appreciate the option to order wine for delivery to the dock, so they don’t have to carry it around.

Recent visitors loved the Crystal Cave, describing it as stunning with unique crystals. After exploring the cave, guests walk through the winery, learning about how the wines and grape juice are made, which many found really interesting. The tasting at the bar is a fun way to end the tour, especially with the friendly staff who serve wine or grape juice. Families, singles, and everyone else enjoyed the educational experience and the beautiful grounds.

Customers also mention the short tours, which include a visit to the world’s largest geode, and the chance to see how wine is made. The whole experience is fun for the whole family, with the option to buy wine or grape juice to enjoy during the visit. The winery’s long history and family-owned background are appreciated, along with the tasty, sweet wines like the Sweet Belle rosé.

While the grounds could use some updating, visitors find the people friendly and the taste of the wines and grape juice fresh and local. Many, including those who visited in summer 2023, now order their favorite wines like Sweet Belle and enjoy delivery at home, looking forward to returning someday to explore the island and revisit Heineman Winery.
