Services
The Bordogna Family has a long and rich tradition of creating wines from grapes and traces their heritage back to the Romans! Over the centuries our wine making practices have been passed down through the generations, refined, updated, and now made available to the public.

Although modern wine making techniques utilize pumps and filters to present a modern wine, the Bordogna wines follow family traditions by using gravity and old time siphoning to delicately move the wine from fermentation vessels to finished bottle.We believe these old time wine making techniques allow for today's consumers to experience the rich original taste of wine the way the Romans and Greeks had so many centuries ago.
We have Nutella, Vanilla Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Pistachio, Dark Chocolate, and Stracciatella. Gelato is made with a base of milk, cream, and sugar, and flavored with fruit and nut purees and other flavorings. It is generally lower in fat, but higher in sugar than other styles of ice cream.

Gelato typically contains less air and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams.
Park your car at the restrooms, walk 100 feet and overlook nature's gift to Marion County. Then return to Look Out Winery for a hearty gourmet pizza and wine after a great swim and outdoor adventure! A bed and breakfast Inn atop Lookout Mountain, just minutes away from Rock City, Ruby Falls, and downtown Chattanooga.
Our reds are easy on the palate. We craft our reds to meet the novice of wine drinkers levels and we the believe that the skillful wine lovers will be delighted too. We create our family wines to be fruitful and in keeping with our heritage we produce wines that you can enjoy now. We can control the taste and smell, but mother nature has to help us with the sights and sounds of the river area.
Delicious slices of moist roasted turkey breast, creamy mash potatoes with a savory gravy. Our other side dishes include a green bean casserole, white sweet niblet corn, cranberry, corn bread stuffing and finishing with a great pumpkin pie for dessert with a scoop of gelato. All for $29.95 Adults and $12.00 for children under 7 no charge.

This was our first visit. We were happy that they could accommodate a large party on a holiday weekend but that quickly wore off once we arrived. The grounds don’t resemble a winery at all. This is a very casual place with very modest and outdated decor. It’s “folding tables, plastic dinnerware, and serving bottled water without a glass” casual. And the best part, the view, was obscured by thick plastic weatherproofing that you couldn’t really see through. The pizza did look good and children said it was good but the adults had steak and lobster which was just okay and frankly overpriced

I’d suggest stopping by for a nice pizza! I heard about this place through word of mouth from locals. The pizza is hot and fresh and the view is lovely. Prices are reasonable

This place was so cool! I only wish that we would have had time to hang out for a while. Be prepared to drive up into Lookout Mountain...and to see one heck of a view. I didn't know it until now, but you can see 7 states from Lookout Mountain (not sure where on the mountain). The mountain is technically placed in Georgia and Tennessee. The wine being sold has no added sugars or sulfites, and is delicious. We didn't get a chance to sample the food, but we hope to make it back sometime. According to Wikipedia, "Lookout Mountain was the scene of the 18th-century "Last Battle of the Cherokees" in this

Best Pizza I have had down south! Coming from Chicago land area, our standards are very high!!
Hands down, highly recommend! The view over the Tennessee River was absolutely stunning. We sat outside surrounded by the beautiful fall colors.
Staff is very friendly and quick to assist us!
Wine was delicious. We tasted 12 different wines. Walked out with 2 bottles! We will definitely be back!

If you have ever been to Italy then you know what the pizza tastes like. The last time I ate a great pizza was 1992. Until we found this place. So close to the real thing . The people who own this place was great also. Thank you for bringing back my memories.

Great Pizza with some of the Best views in the State.
First off Pizza- to date the best I have tasted in the State of TN.
I am talking old school Italian wood fired Pizzaiola style. The crust was perfect balance of crisp and chewy thin crust. Wonderful yeast, smoked wood flavor. The cheese high quality Buffalo mozzarella. San Marzano tomato sauce. Great flavor choices with high quality toppings. All in all delicious.
Then their is the spectacular views of the mountains an TN river.
Wines are homemade with grapes brought in from CA. Many varieties, with none being sweet in any way.
They are very

Oh my goodness!!! The view is AMAZING! You can see Georgia Tennessee and Alabama! What a BEAUTIFUL place! The owner, Chuck is full of stories and history and it is apparent he just loves his restaurant.... heartwarming and interesting. The servers were buzzing around and our table was well taken care of. Ten girls in our party... Wine Club in September. We all ordered Wine flights of the different varieties and enjoyed comparing and laughing about eachother's choices..... such fun. Then, Pizzas arrived and WOW they looked delicious. We had 3 pizzas and a small cauliflower crust for one. ;

Pizza and view were amazing! Service was great! Wine was not as sweet as anticipated at all, but the waiter did let us all know beforehand what to expect which we were grateful for before and after the fact. We were happy to have this experience with one another.

This place was not what I expected. I am not a huge wine drinker. And neither is my son, but we decided to try it because he likes to taste.
It was pretty good actually. Pizza was good,, not exceptional. Everything went well, but they seem to just be getting off the ground. It has so much potential but I really came away unimpressed. All we got to see was the patio. But the chairs were uncomfortable, we didn't even have tablecloths and the bottled wine was screw top. The views were great, parking was a bit crazy, and when we pulled in we thought we were at the wrong place. There was alot of concrete

Great experience! Owner greeted us as soon as we sat down and explained in great detail about all the ingredients that went into their pizza and wine. Very proud of his product. Even after we had been served he stopped by several more times to check on us. Pizza was delicious and you could really taste the homemade ingredients in it! Ordered a house salad with the pie and it was Huge! The salad was SO fresh and delicious. Could've made a meal from it. Location was nice with a great view and very relaxing atmosphere. Service there was great. All in all a great experience and we'll definitely

It's a nice pizza place around the area. They have really good pizza. We has Tuscan pizza and it was yummy. Wine flight comes in tiny glasses. I would just buy a bottle and enjoy it. The staff was friendly and courteous. Over all its was a wonderful experience with a view.

Couple things. I think the owner's really trying hard. He was making all the pizzas the night we were there. I don't know if he's quite got tact figured out, though. When he brought our pie to the table he belted out about 3 different instructions about how to lift it onto the plate but all really fast, and a bit condescendingly as if I've never seen pizza before. Something about how "a knife and fork will slow you down." We figured it out. He should have just led with, "enjoy!"

There are also some odd rules printed on the menu like "no pizza substitutions

We had an amazing time here! The view is so great and really adds to the experience. We enjoyed the Tuscany and Pisa pizzas which were incredible! Our wine tasting was so fun and we enjoy it so much. We had tiramisu it was so fresh and light and rich! It was impossible not to finish! 10 out 10. Would love to go back at one night and just enjoy the wine and pizza while listening to live music!

Fantastic views looking southwest over Lake Nickajack. We chose the wine flight. It was fun trip across wine varieties, flavors and styles. The wine is good. The wood fire pizza is very good, although the dough had a touch too much salt. The menu is very basic. If you don't want pizza or a salad accompanied with wine with a spectacular view, you're in the wrong spot. If you like those combinations, this is your place.

Only 20 minutes out of town, this winery is a perfect spot for an early dinner with a good friend on a warm evening. The view is wonderful. The outside dining areas are spread out between two spots, one connected to the restaurant. The staff come across easygoing and nice.

When we arrived, our waitress came over and asked us what kind of wine we usually like. We decided on tasting 5 of the whites and one of the rose's. We liked the Patrizio rose' the most. For our pizza, we split a large what's called Tuscany pizza, a tasty trio of homemade sausage, fire roasted peppers, and mushrooms

Come for the spectacular views over the Tennessee River and stay for the wine and authentic Italian pizza. We got the house special pizza, cuz they had us at shrimp scampi on pizza . We each did a full wine tasting. We finished with a sunset over the river. Perfect evening on our way through.

Be prepared for a steep entrance, but you're in the mountains and it's to get you to a fantastic view. Pizza was stellar, cooked with a perfect crust and quality toppings.

Wines were hit and miss, but plenty of good options.

The building reminds me of a Tuscan setting but could use a decorative touch. Still, it's a beautiful area and a great setting. The waitress was awesome and friendly. We ordered the cauliflower crust pizza and were not disappointed. However, this is a winery and I must say, the wine did not live up to our expectations. After reading past reviews, I am expecting a harsh response but I stand by my review. Add some grape vines, some different style tables and chairs and a better wine and you'll have a Grade A place. (In reply to the owner. I've lived in Europe. This wine does not compare.)

Mannnnnnnnn Pizza and Wine. Say whet?!?!?!?

This was the best hidden gem in Chattanooga (thus far). It's a bit of a drive from the city. The winery is anchored just right in the hills to give you views on views. Simply beautiful.

I tasted mostly the white wine. You love some and you hate some. But I did find I liked more than what I disliked.

The pizza was delicious. We ordered half pepperoni and half cheese. Simple. But the quality was there.

Overall super reasonable and a great place to stop by on Sunday and get quality time with whomever you choose.

We read the reviews. We heard it was awful wine. We went anyway because how bad could it be? I mean, I've been known to drink out of a box more times than I care to admit. Plus there would be pizza. Holy crap I have never tasted such awful wine in my life! I couldn't even finish the tasting! I'd compare most of it to drinking paint thinner or something. I went in with low expectations and still left amazed at what passes for wine here. So after posting about it on my social media I had friends chime in with things like "first time I ever spit out a tasting" and "that

The place is great for evening sunset views high up on the mountain while eating pizza and drinking 🍸wine.
You will find the step incline off the road straight up is worth the views. Parking is limited though.
Everything pizza is made and cooked in a open wood oven outside. The wine is handmade from picked grapes from California then processed here with no added sugars.
I personally get the cauliflower pizza crust because I am gluten intolerant. It is very delicious and cooked to perfection.
As you can see from the photos 📷 the meal was as good as it looks.
I decided on getting a Gelato

The owner lacks customer service skills and do not follow CDC GUIDELINES! They DO NOT wear masks. There are reviewers on google that he even calls crazy or liars if they are dissatisfied in any way. I can only imagine how they handle conflict or dissatisfaction in person. His comment is very alarming and makes me even wonder if they are sanitizing properly. I regret going.

PIzza is a five ... Wine is a two

Go here for the beautiful scenery and AMAZING wood fired pizza. It was crisp and fresh off the grill. The cheese tied everything together. Made with love.

The wine was very disappointing it all tasted the same.

My partner and I came here for a birthday dinner last weekend, arriving around 6pm on Saturday. We were wary based on the reviews, but decided to give it a shot because the pictures were lovely and the pizza looked great. The views ARE really lovely, and there's lots of outdoor seating that looks out over the lake. Our server was nice and the tiramisu was good, but that's where the pro's stop.

Cons: the second we got out of our Uber, the owner (we presume based on other reviews) came running up in a ball of stress asking if we made a reservation because they MIGHT be able to seat

My wife and I originally found this place through way of an fraternity event they so graciously hosted for us, it's such a nice spot tucked away off the main road with tons of great local wines to try! All their pizzas are fresh and have just the right amount of smokey wood oven flavor. The staff are almost always friendly and knowledgeable of their menu! I will say you must try the House specialty pizza with shrimp! I do wish there was a little more concern for COVID measures, no mask/gloves for staff and they didn't seem to really care if guest didn't have mask either.

Wow the pizza here is amazing and they even have the most delicious cauliflower crust for those who have trouble with gluten. Our friends uncle is the owner and shared how the ingredients are imported for quality, flavor and authenticity, which shows in the quality delicious food you get, amazing pizza!! The wine tasting is so worth it and such a fun experience. Not to mention the view is beyond amazing and an experience in itself. All in all such a hidden gem and worth it!
