It’s kinda hidden lol, we missed our turn and it was almost impossible to turn left and get out of there. It smelled bad inside, but the girl was helpful and nice. The bathroom was really small and a tight squeeze. We tried Fredonia, harvest blend, blackberry sangria and didn’t like any of those at all. We really liked romance red raspberry and the Niagara was just okay. We’re very picky with our wine lol.

Easily the worst vineyard I have ever been to. The man behind the counter was rude, and dismissively answered questions that could have been resolved if any menu was visible before reaching the counter, as if we should already know their selection. Prices were more expensive to eat on location/cheaper to take a bottle to go, disincentivising any further purchases that would have resulted from staying. We decided to just take a bottle of harvest blend to go, but it was barely drinkable even with 5 people to split it. You could find a better wine for $10 at the giant eagle to the northeast.

I liked this place very much and would definitely go back again. Everything was very clean and all the staff were very nice. It takes a second to figure out how to order food and drinks but once you do it is actually a very easy and pleasant concept. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a pulled pork pizza to split between three people, very delicious and was the perfect amount of food. Overall I would suggest going to this place and I will be going back again for sure.

We are members of Harvest Host and have stayed here twice. It’s quiet, big parking lot, the owners are friendly and it’s right off of Rt 2. Oh and I forgot to mention that we love their wines. We especially… enjoyed the live entertainment. We will definitely stay here again when we are traveling by. Thank you Adam and Adam’s Dad.

This was our first visit to Papermoon, we often find ourselves in Vermilion on a Sunday and they're closed. Glad we finally chose to visit! My husband had a glass of the Blackberry Sangria. He loved it, good go to if you're looking for a very sweet red. I had a glass of the Harvest Blend. Also a sweet red, but a great balance of different grapey flavors. They have a good selection of food to choose from. We went with the margherita pizza. Delicious!!! Highly recommend making the stop if you're in the area.

As we are driving down the highway we see a sign for Paper Moon vineyards. So we stopped to try it. We go into the "tasting center" to taste some wines to see what bottles we would like to purchase and take home. Only to find out we can't "taste wine." We were required to buy a $7 glass to see if we wanted to buy a $20 bottle. My wife didn't even like the wine she was forced to buy. So no bottle purchase. Maybe if is she got to "taste" a few different kinds we would have bought a few bottles. Shouldn't call it a "tasting"center if you are not

I've always loved Paper Moon Vineyards. Maybe that's because of my fondness for Vermilion, but truly, I love this spot. This is a much simpler winery than most in the Greater Cleveland area, so please keep expectations realistic that you're coming to a small winery.
It has great charm. When it's not a pandemic, they have live music with local musicians. They also do free local delivery of wine and can ship some products directly from their website. With 2-3 days notice, they can also assemble a super cute, local gift basket featuring the wine of your choice for under $50.

We meet a couple friends here before heading to the lake for a long weekend. The place was inviting and had a decent selection of wine and some apple cider they produce in house. They do serve food but I advise sticking to the wine and cheese unless you are ordering the pizza because I was not impressed with the other food items we ordered.

I'm giving Paper Moon Winery 5 stars for the variety and quality of their wines and for the quality of their food--the menu is a bit more expansive than the typical winery. We ordered a light lunch of Ciabatta Cheesy Bread and Pumpkin/Apple/Bacon Soup--could not have been fresher or tastier and the quantity was over the top! Wine tastings were generous as well! Service also gets 5 stars--Beau, a local lad, was our server and I would recommend asking for him! The place is clean but does not have the ambience of some of the northern Ohio wineries, but everything else was so exceptional, I

Inexpensive and delightful! My Saturday nights are completed here. I recommend these wines; Harvest blend, Lighthouse Cayuga white, Blackberry Sangria, and my favorite fave of favoritesville... Twilight!!!! So delicious it needs a warning label (warning; do not drink like kool aid)! Food is amazing and simple, though I adore the sampler cheese plate ($7! Its $20+ any other wine place!) See our favorite "Skip, master of the vines" at the tasting counter. Tastes are 50 cents! You cannot beat this wonderful treasure right off route 2 and route 60 in Vermillion.

My wife and I aren't big wine conesours but, we regularly frequent local breweries and wineries on vacation. Paper Moon gets it right. A nice selection of wines (whatever your preferred style) and a cider that ended up being my favorite. The amenities (bar and seating etc.) are generous and very accommodating. Customer service was great and prices were very reasonable. Definitely worth a stop.

Great wine with not the best food. The food for being from a winery seemed to be cheaper quality for the price paid. Staff was friendly and the samples 50 cents each. I wish they would give crackers between the samples. They have about 15-20 wines here. They should have one that you fall in love with.
