Simple, beautiful, peaceful, venue in a wooded setting. Owners are so kind! Food carts and live music at the venue but I think that's more of a weekend thing. Check social media. There was a good variety of wines to choose from. I don't drink alcohol, but I would come back just to hang out. Really nice place!

I was there Saturday for a wedding i just wanted to thank the staff for assisting the elderly people. i thought that was very nice assisting them then moving them up the hill for dinner. I know my aunts and mom were very thankful.

If you are looking for a date night or looking for a place to meet up with a group of friends Fermenting Cellars is the perfect place. Beautiful patio with a fireplace for outside seating and covered seating in… their pavilion there are seating options for everyone. Bill and Mary are the kindest hosts who impressively remember our names each time. My favorites are their Malbec and post injection selection. Ten out of ten I recommend!

Really nice winery. They have a beautiful outdoor patio and the owner is extremely friendly. He really explains all his wines to you and makes sure you're getting the right wine. Also, the tastings are fantastic!

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious wines for all levels of wine lovers, friendly owners, and quite cozy. Cannot wait to see it again in the summer to enjoy their outdoor space and special events. Bill and Mary were delightful.

We stopped in tonight before dinner for a little tasting. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. At the end of the informative tasting we had a hard decision of which bottles to bring home. Long story short we ended up with the Crafted Blend and the LPR. We are saving the Crafted for a special occasion and opened the LPR and had it with our feta steak crosstini and was an very delicious choice! We will definitely be back. Also we had the cheese and sausage tray which was as good as the wines. 👍🏻Thumbs up on the venison sausage!

Wine with a good story. When thinking of this place the words "personal touch" come to mind. Most of the time, when I attend tastings, I have a detailed description of what I'm about to drink followed by a courteous smile before the host moves on to the next guest. The owners are approachable, serve flavorful wine, and tell an interesting anecdote to each pour. My favorite in both respects was Gone Too Soon and I took home a bottle.

First time visiting this place. Super cozy feel inside. Perfect for a chilly, Friday evening during the fall season with a friend. One of the owners served us and explained each wine. Both owners really took the time to converse with their customers and create a personal experience. The wines were great! Gone Too Soon and the acronym wine (LPF maybe?) were the two favorites. Definitely want to come back to this place.
