Nasty and Dirty - Horrible all the tables walked out along with us. I would consider calling the Health Department i would guarantee that all the wine was open for more than a year.
I can’t believe a place like this is allowed to actually serve the public.
If I could give 0 or negative stars I would. This place does not deserve a single star.
I’ve NEVER been so uncomfortable; scared, and disrespected.
We were in town for a cute bachelorette party for my best friend! Google said they were open but we got there… closed! Fine! No worries. However, we called just to double check. A man answered and said he would be down to open up… ok…
He was rude from the start… RUDE!!!! Like I get mad just typing this! He said “clearly you’re not from around here…” okay… then no light, no music, no people… just us and this creepy man. Which we truly gave him the benefit of the doubt.
He said what are you celebrating? We said a bachelorette party! She is getting married. He said well some people make mistakes… okay rude but maybe his humor? Idk! Still doing our best to make the most of this uncomfortable and awkward situation…
We are now alone… the three of us… in a back room with this man who doesn’t want us here… which then don’t open? That would have been better!
He then tells us about his tasting and the bride asked a valid question about what’s included and he goes “so this is where I get rude… (get?!) listening skills is important… it’s on the menu and everything on the menu is included…” his tone is awful… just a bad bad bad experience…
We decided to leave before ordering… he doesn’t deserve our money…
How anyone stayed long enough to order is beyond me…
He should not be in business… this is not a business… how he has a liquor license is actually scary.
Please RUN!!! Don’t go here!!!! It was awful!!!
Shout out to the place we went to after… Perlick distillery! They are a 5+ star place!
Skip this Clover Meadow… don’t make our same mistake!
Old man running this place was blatantly rude and we left before ordering. Nasty guy, felt incredibly uncomfortable around him.
Creepy Gandalf wizard of winery was inappropriate and poked my shoulder. He accused another guest of stealing a bottle (she didn’t)
Had a very nice visit with the owner. A little out of the way, but worth the stop.
The man who served us was rude, impatient, insulting & discourteous to myself & my daughter & friend. Then the products he served were all awful & amateurish tasting. The building is sketchy, poorly maintained & decorated with low quality, garage sale items. I even questioned our safety alone with him & we couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Was looking for a winery to visit. I appreciate these pop up family owned wineries. Truly a very unique place. We took the motorcycle and it was only 1/2 mile of a gravel road so not bad if you are on the bike. The owners were nice. I really enjoyed the guys dry quick wit humor and his wife was so nice. Both were very informative and well versed in their products. The wine was good, the cordials, brandy and moonshine were good. Do not expect a commercialized what you find at the store product... this is a great farm to table product. I guarantee the moonshine is way more potent than any place you've ever been to due it being a family owned business. I love even more that they support and donate back to a horse rescue.
I think this winery is now closed. We stopped on a Friday in June and there was no one there. It looked run down.
Ask about the paintings. Lots of neat stories. So many yummy flavors
Different and interesting

back woods wine tasting beautiful area great cause.
“ What happens at winery - stays at the winery “ is the best quote for this spot! If you are looking for a traditional winery / wine tasting - go to California?!? Or else where …This is a unique spot.. the wine is unique and the owner ( male( as others have described)) even more unique. Pat the owner is what makes clover meadows a good time- but you have to enjoy his genius and wit. Embrace his playful comments / banter and you’ll have a blast. Or be a heartless Karen and say this place sucks. But I’d encourage people to enjoy this space and the wine for what it is and enjoy the owners fun banter because he is creating a business offering so much good! We ended up leaving with one of the owners drawings - and a few bottles. The tasting was a blast! But you cling on to the experience… of what clover meadows is!
Unfortunately we didn't have a great experience. The wines all smelled and tasted of vinegar. Either corked or too old. The owner (male) was very off putting and quite rude throughout our time there. At first we thought he was trying to be funny or eccentric but he wasn't. He also made some strange comments to the women in our group. We were all very uncomfortable. Definitely wouldn't recommend a visit here.
He was very helpful. I will come again.
We went here with another couple and it was an absolute blast!!The owner himself was who helped us and we had a heck of a good time!The drinks were great, service fast and the conversations were excellent.Not to mention the scenery and story behind “clover meadow” was something to inspire to! We will be back! Thank you!
