I visited a week ago for the Harvest Festival and had such a lovely time!
The property is beautiful and full of communal spaces to spend time with your friends and meet new people!
I walked around the vineyard and it was so peaceful and well-managed. I could see that they take great care trimming the vines after the grapes have been harvested and the season is over. It was very pretty.
The property is also full of other lovely foliage and flowers! And another plus for my cat lovers/Harry Potter fans out there… There are two little cats that live on the property: a white and ginger cat named Luna and a ginger cat named Weasley!
And of course, who can forget the wine!? I loved the wines I tried! I was surprisingly pleased with how much I enjoyed the Seyval Blanc!! They have a vast variety of wines, ranging from other fruit wines to sweet wines to dry reds to crisp whites. I asked, and they confirmed that all wines are made by them! I was very impressed at the variety and selection! I enjoyed an Apple Pie seasonal option they had. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the Tempranillo. I had a great afternoon and I hope to visit again soon!
The only negative was that I was made to feel very embarrassed at one point by one of the employees. I had asked for samples of the wines I had bought a glass of before buying them (most places I’ve been to understand that since they are a smaller business, it helps to know what we are purchasing since we’ve never tasted their product before). I had asked for a taste of the two I was deciding between before purchasing a glass, and all was fine. However, when I returned about 45 minutes later and asked to do the same, the employee very loudly said “we aren’t just giving away booze for free and I remember you from earlier”. I actually teared up on the spot because I felt so embarrassed and confused, as earlier it didn’t seem to be an issue when I asked for a taste before getting the glass. I would never have asked if I knew they did not like to do samples. I really wouldn’t have. I just wished he would’ve maybe said it more kindly, like “We don’t really do tastes here” or “we have a limit of two tastes” or something. I’m not upset that I couldn’t sample another wine — I happily bought the tempranillo just trusting that I would like it — but it was more about how the situation made me feel. I was so embarrassed and felt like they were accusing me of something. I have bad social anxiety and get really distressed about these sorts of things, so it just affected me a lot and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day, and I left very quickly after that.
Besides this odd moment, though, I had a good day. The place is lovely and the employees were all amazing and kind, and very knowledgeable. I still enjoyed my overall experience, and I really believe that the above situation was likely just a fluke or weird moment. I just wanted to share in case there is anyone else who has anxiety issues and finds it helpful to know, or people who go to wineries a lot and are accustomed to asking for tasters before committing to a purchase. The place is very beautiful and I loved getting to meet new people and chatting with the employees and patrons. I really do highly recommend. ❤️🦋💜
