I really enjoy sitting on the lawn enjoying a bottle of wine n listening to some great tribute bands, most of which are free. Thank you all so much this is what we need n the community...oh one more thing it's also peaceful n no trouble with the crowd everyone is so friendly ❤️
My husband and i visit so many. winery. So, the one thing i can tell is that this is a beautiful place, that is all about it. Staff was rude. and wine is over price. Not recommend and not come back.
Full disclosure. I am not a wine drinker. I visited the winery to attend a benefit concert. As a winery, it's beautiful. The main building is modern and esthetically pleasing. There are numerous tables on two different patio levels. The upper patio sits in the courtyard of the main building. The lower patio looks out over an expansive yard with a pond. Further away, picnic tables and a fire pit are in the grass.
I can't comment on the wine. They have a nice selection of beer for those who aren't wine drinkers.
Food: they offer wood fired pizza made on-site. The ordering system is efficient. You punch in and pay for your order on a kiosk and then just pick up the pizza when it's done. The pizza is tasty.
As a concert venue, I'll have to give them a failing grade. The bands play on an elevated lanai above the upper patio. The acoustics are terrible due to the echoes off the brick building. The sound mixing board isn't able to compensate. If the show goes into the evening, you won't be able to see much because there is no stage lighting.
The music is not the focus of the winery, so although it was a disappointment, I won't take a point off my review.
Always a great time
Frigging awesome. Dave Nemahak was a fabulous masseuse. Already booked for April
They charge you $20 to park and you are not allowed to bring any beverages, even non-alcoholic. So you pay $20 to park then have to pay for overpriced water and drinks.
Beautiful place love the summertime vibe and concerts
Julia Cole at Vinoski Winery. Great concert, great venue
First time here. Super not busy on a Saturday afternoon. Bella and Doug were awesome giving us the history. The Isabella and the Concord was amazing!
Review from a non-drinker's perspective.My wife and I have been enjoying the entertainment here since about 4 years ago. Really makes for a nice relaxing evening with food and wine and other alcoholic beverages available.The selection of wines/alcohol is apparently decent. I don't drink but I haven't heard anyone complain.Recently the winery has implemented some restrictions on what you can bring into the venue as far as outside beverages, INCLUDING water and soft drinks.I totally understand restricting outside alcoholic beverages, as this is how the winery makes it's money. Selling and promoting it's house products as well.Now, from a non-drinker's perspective. I REALLY enjoy a selection of various soft drinks for leisure and hanging out. Some nights I'll go with a diet Mt Dew, a flavored San Pellegrino, or a diet ginger ale. This is just naming a few.With the winery's new policy of no outside drinks, my choices are Diet Coke (the worst diet soft drink known to man) or water. (I don't drink sugary drinks)I don't understand why an exception cannot be made to their "no outside beverages" policy to allow bringing your own soft drink as long as it is in an unopened container (can or bottle without the seal broken)Instead I'm sitting here unable to enjoy my evening slowly sipping a disgusting Diet Coke while all my alcohol drinking friends enjoy like 50 different selections of beverage available.Either offer a much greater selection of soft drinks and diet soft drinks or go back to allowing people to bring their own.I'm sure this review will come across like one man screaming on a mountain top, as I'm sure there aren't many non-drinker's in your average vinoski crowd. This is scary in it's own right, as I'm sure 90% of the people leaving are over the legal b/a limit and jumping in their cars and driving.How about a little love for us designated drivers out here instead of forcing us to buy friggin Diet Coke and expecting us to enjoy our evenings.This review has turned into a bit of a rant, and I'm sorry about that. It mainly stems from the fact I have always really enjoyed my times here at Vinoski, but now that I can't drink what soft drink I want to drink it's like a huge bummer.When my wife asks me to go, now I have to think about it. Do I feel like drinking awful diet Coke for 4 hours,?Thanks Vinoski.Oh. On a side note, their brick oven pizza is raw both times I've tried it. Not sure how they can not cook an 1/8" paper thin crust all the way through, but they simply can't. The dough is raw.

The music you guys hire stinks. Turning it up LOUDER and LOUDER doesn't make it better.You could also consider starting and ending sooner ... the 65 and older crowd that makes up majority of your clientele shouldn't be out that late.You're a mediocre winery that needs a face-lift, not a concert hall.Kills me to say it, but go over to Ohio and check out the wineries near Geneva on the lake. They have it right.
they cancelled our show early..because of lighting but I talked to several people and this seems to be the norm for them...so much for a bday celebration..we wont be back
Cool place. Not very big for indoor events. But outside looks awesome. We'll return in the spring for sure.
This is by far the worst winery in the area. I have attended several concerts here and I’m simply done with place. The layout for music is simply bizarre. They put you on a patio 20 feet below the band so that you’re literally looking straight up at the people playing. It makes absolutely no sense.The real elephant in the room is the wine. it’s straight hideous and not worth the bottle it’s put in. I’ve tried every variety, and they all taste like vinegar or perfume: which is ironic considering the insane price you want per bottle. Believe me, you would do far better to go to Allegheny Cellars down the road which has spectacular wines for half the price. Or if you’re looking to get a little more spendy try Plum Run, his wines are amazing! Compared to these wines, though you do better just going to the liquor store and getting a bottle of Johnson estate.
Always a fun and enjoyable night!
