Very friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed the few wines that we tried. Thank you Ann for a great experience!

Great destination in the summer. The views are amazing and the wine selection is great. The Rose, I believe it's le Boheme is one of the best bottles I've ever had. Service is always top notch and they even allow kids and dogs. They have cool events like live music, just a beautiful experience overall. Only note I'd add is food selection is small but I don't think they have a kitchen or chef, that would make this place perfect.

Elk Cove is a fantastic vineyard, great Pinot and great Whites. I love being a member to build up my wine supply and hear about all the events. The Vineyard is absolutely one of the most beautiful to visit, great views and the wine tasting room is lovely. Now its going to be even better after the remodel. Can't wait to see and taste what next year is to bring!

I love this vineyard and tasting room. The staff is so friendly and informative. I love the expanded tasting room and the views of the vineyards. The wines are enjoyable and I keep coming back for more.

I loved Elk Cove Pinot Gris before I ever visited their winery, and appreciate their wines even more afterwards! I call their Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Rosè our”house wine”. My guests must love it too since several have bought the wine for themselves after trying it in our home.

I am pleased to endorse Elk Cove wines since I have been a huge fan of Elk Cove many years ago! I became a big fan of Elk Cove Pinot Gris 15 years ago and I still love it to this day.In addition, I was introduced to Elk Cove Pinot Blanc, a clean and delicious wine that I equally enjoy and I strongly endorse both of these high quality wines, which are second to no one in my opinion!!I encourage anyone to try these wines fine wines, but leave me some to enjoy! LOL

Wonderful wine and our tasting guiding was incredibly informative however we at one point we wanted to get a glass to end with and they came up and just gave us our check and said no more wine was for sale. It was slightly past 5 so I understand that but we were never told there was last call as our guide hadn’t checked on us in at least 30 minutes prior. I do not recommend and our driver even told us she has heard the service here was not that great too and this is what we experienced.

I really wanted to love this place, but it was possibly the most poorly managed tasting I've done. To start, I should say that this tasting was done in a tent on a the property due to construction issues. They are slated to have the tent for the next 12 days from the date of this review. I don't knock them for the tent, you have to do construction sometime. But the management of our tasting was so bad, that I have serious concerns about the quality of the tasting inside the tasting room. We were ignored for the vast majority of our tasting appointment. It wasn't until we were literally the only customers that we received adequate attention. They set their tasting at 70 minutes for 5 wines because it's going to take a long time to get your next pour. That's fine if you're there with a group and hanging out, but if you're just a party of two clearly experienced tasters, the serving staff should be able to adjust. I came very close to just leaving after my first pour be cause it took close to 20 minutes for them to realize we hadn't had our second, despite me staring at them with a very empty glass in front of them. The excuse given was that it was their second day serving in the tent and they weren't used to it, but to be honest, that excuse fell pretty flat with how few customers they actually had (there was 5 other groups when we arrived, none by the time we got to wine 4 of 5). They honestly should have just closed for the weeks that their tasting room was unavailable if it was going to be this bad.All of that said, their wines are good. I would avoid this place until their tasting room is actually available again, but even then, I would hesitate to do a repeat tasting with the other quality experience wineries that are in the area. Yes, they're an original. But they are completely phoning it in with their tastings.

We loved our visit to Elk Cove Vineyards. Wow! What a view! The ambiance was beautiful, serene and kid friendly. Wished there were maybe board games or corn hole outside. Prices were a bit high. The Provision Board was very tastefully presented and included a taste of their delicious black currant Dijon. We got the Reserve Flight and the Sparkling Flight. The Parmesan Rosemary popcorn was well worth the $10. Gloria was so kind, knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. Hope we can return soon and experience it all over again!

Their sparking wine is definitely worth trying.

I struggled to figure out how to rate this place and thought I'd go with a breakdown by element:Service: 5 Stars. Our server was fantastic! Kohl was super attentive and very knowledgeable about all the wines. We really learned so much about Elk Cove and how their vineyards. Kohl really took lots of time with us and made sure we knew all about each wine we tasted. Wine: 2.5 Stars. My friend and I just didn't really like their wine. Might just be an us problem, but nothing landed for us really in the tasting flight.Grounds: 5 Stars. The grounds were just gorgeous and had so many comfy viewing points. I appreciated the sense of calm yet comfortable softness carried by the wind.I'd say overall a fun place to check out even if it wasn't our favorite for wine.
