Came to visit my boyfriend\'s family last summer, went for a drive with him and stumbled upon this amazing place! As a teacher, it was just meant to be! Brought several bottles home to California for my family (all who are teachers). Cannot wait until we\'re back to pick up more. Had such a lovely experience enjoying some good food & wine tasting!
Every visit has been great and the staff is very warm and inviting. Whether visiting for a quiet relaxing time after work or with a noisy group of friends during live entertainment nights, School House Winery is the place for me! Though I was a wallflower throughout school, Class Clown is the best!

What a great place! My girlfriend and I sampled about 6 fantastic wines, bought a bottle of the scholar red, and snacked on a pizza. This place is unique with a relaxing outside dining area where you can relax in the shade and enjoy the calming sounds of the nearby pond. Don't think twice, come here now.

Excellent wines, mostly sweet fruit wines, but there's a favorite for everyone. I love the Pep Rally - dry red, perfect! Teacher's Ade is also a favorite - lemon, sweet, white wine.. the total opposite of my usual choice, but a must have when visiting School House!
The grounds are gorgeous. An outdoor patio, an additional covered patio, plus many picnic tables and the covered stage (excellent live music). My favorite was the swing under the tree around the pond. Incredibly relaxing.
Food is so tasty, pizza is delicious! Sample a few wines and then choose your glass or bottle to enjoy!

Stopped here in the way home from Amish country since all of their wineries close so early! I'm a teacher so I was automatically into the taboo of drinking in an old school. Add in the fact that there was some school history posted on the walls near the restroom and that every wine had a clever school name and I was a fan from the getgo. We sampled a few of the semis and got a bottle of Scholar Red for there. We enjoyed it and got the same to go. We also had the garlic chicken pizza. The woman working was all alone on a Friday and while it wasn't packed, there were 3 groups of 4 plus

This was our 9th and final stop for the day on wineries. This place has all of their wines named after stuff with school. Pep Rally, Prom Night ( were both red wines ).
The lady that helped us out a lot. She was friendly and had great recommendations. The winery has a small vineyard nearby where they use the grapes for jam for the family. They get their juices from outside locations.
I recommend stopping here. It's small and quaint with really good wine.

I really enjoyed my experience at the Winery. We met a group of friends there on a Saturday evening. There was an outdoor stage and the entertainment was a guest singer, Ren. Our group of four couples brought our own outdoor folding chairs. There were picnic tables and string lights and table candles. There was approximately 50 people there. Glad that we brought our chairs. It was more comfortable that way. The concert lasted until 9pm.
Some people in our group brought cheese and crackers. We bought pizza there. We ordered the veggie pizza. It was pretty good...was impressed by the top sprinkling

I really love this winery. I have only had the opportunity to visit one time, but it was great. It is actually in an old school house and the inside is redone. It is absolutely beautiful!
There is plenty of seating and the environment is so welcoming and cozy. The staff is friendly and accommodating. One of the best parts is they have various wine tastings and will pretty much let you ample any wine before purchasing. They also have snacks available for purchase!! Yum!!
A wonderful Saturday afternoon destination.

This winery was our last stop on a tour of 4 area wineries. The one-room school house is fabulous and has lots of good energy! The sun was setting and there were patrons outside waiting for the live music to start.
The wine tasting was a great experience but the "school house" theme overshadowed the wines. All samples were served in test tubes with a wooden holder; which is cute but doesn't allow you to smell the wine. Although the tastes are more expensive than the other area wineries, they are 3 times the size. To be fair our server offered to pour our samples in regular

Well were do I start? wine not very good, samples are .50 each most other wineries are .25 or free, food is normally priced but smaller portioned and yes I am comparing other wineries not what is worth. they ruined the old school house and modernized it with drywall. I visit local wineries quite often and this just doesn't compare, I have been to them all. It is too bad this is the closest one to me and I don't go there anymore. I usually bring five people with me when I visit and we all agreed.

Best winery experience ever! We went on a Saturday night, they had some stellar live music. It's rare to stumble across such a cool local musiscian that was this good. The place was packed, but service was really good. We sampled a few different wines, which were all named within the school house theme. I had the "Eraser" (a semi-sweet reisling) and my husband had the "Bully Red" (semi-dry, full bodied red wine). "Tastes" (really about a half a glass) are $0.50 each, which we had a few, and glasses were $5. Prices of the bottles varied between about $11 to $20

Another new winery in Dover I discovered when heading back to the good ol' T-County to visit family. I was ecstatic to hear that not only did someone decide to do something with the old school house, but that it turned into a winery.
The inside is small (it is a one room school house) but very cute with a few tables, rustic decor, and a bar in the center where you can order wine by the glass or by the bottle. There isn't much of a gift shop as you find in typical Ohio wineries and I was actually relieved. This was serious wine business.
I was there on a weekend night with my parents
