We didn't care for it. Visited to get our Mucky Duck Brew Path stamps, and the beer was okay but the food was terrible. Here is my "Mexican" pizza. Hardly any chorizo and it included olives, which I'm sorry, do not belong on a Mexican pizza. Disappointed and hoping things will improve over at the Mucky Duck location so that they can reopen.

The bartender down below was friendly and knowledgeable. The prices were reasonable for a winery. The downfall and the reason for 3 stars was the food service. My friend and I ordered a fold over calzone, she and I waited over an hour as our friends already finished their food a while ago. No apology from staff and the picture on the menu shows jalapeños on the Italian sub and there were none. Along with the fact it was basically just thick bread and no filling..

View the lake while sipping wine with new enclosed and winterized seating area and on the lake seating.
Free wifi and plenty of indoor seating if you need a quick meeting space. As a signing agent this is perfect for me. Slow, calm and serene during the day...lovely.
Wine tasting all day everyday $1 EA

Beautiful atmosphere. Watching the boats on the lake light up at night and the sun set was a priceless. We sat on the deck and I love the comfortable rocking chairs. The pizza is so 🤤 it has best thin crust and they are not afraid to put the cheese on it. 😋 Just the right amount of that goodness gracious on top.😊 We had the Lobster and the Mexican pizza. The sweet taste of the Skinny Mermaid wine hit the spot. Last but not least the service is great. I wish I knew the lady’s name that helped us. She has a great spirit. A+++ They go out of their way to make you feel so grateful you found

Love this winery! Love coming here to relax with a beverage and watch the sun set over Portage Lakes. It's definitely a low key place if you want to get away from places with more of a hustle and bustle. Besides the sunset other views are wildlife you don't normally see and boaters.
My usual is the Nauti bucket because I am into sweeter wines (if you have a low tolerance you can definitely split this beverage). They also have a pretty good food menu. My favorites to get are their lobster pizza and soft pretzel sticks (the beer cheese is to die for!). Even if you come here in the evening

Love this local winery! They're affiliated with Mucky Duck which is just across the street. You can find an excellent selection of draft beers, frozen drinks, cocktails and of course wine. Even some food options to include pizzas. The outside is so pretty in the summer and pups are allowed in the patio!

Cheese and salami tray was branded as "Amish" cheese. I think we got old GFS cheese, paired with stale crackers. The place is popping so we might have just made a poor snack choice. Save yourself $10 and order something else. Frozen drink was so sour it was undrinkable and the beer from a local brewery was equally terrible.

We arrived around 6:30. We ordered two food dishes and drinks. We waited an HOUR for one of food items to come out. After an hour and 20min we asked the bartender about the second item. She said she would replace the order for the second item and it was on its way. Another 25 minutes goes by and still no food... we go back up to ask the bar tender about the second food item and she said the kitchen was down and it's not possible to make it. We waited 2 hours for one food item!!! That is OUTRAGEOUS! After explaining the situation to them several times, they only offered a refund on the second

We visited in Mid-November but still beautiful scenery. The atmosphere inside is quite pleasant and nice interior. They are not offering wine flights during Co-Vid, which was a disappointment since it is still on the menu and this was our first time there. I asked for preference on a dry and they suggested the Merlot. The Merlot was decent, on a scale of 1-10 it was an 8. Another person ordered the spiked Hot Coco, you have a choice of multiple liquors to choose from and ordered it with Kahlua, it was sweet and not an overpowering liquor taste. We ordered multiple pizzas and had little communication

Hubby and I got there 15 minutes before close and servers were rude and said they'd serve us but we had to go outside bc they were closing. Now I understand they want to go home, and I have never been treated so rudely and customer service should have been more welcoming. Especially for a business that has only been opened a few years. We own a business as well and would never have allowed such rude customer service!

I've been gone from this town a long time now, but it's become abundantly clear that the better the view, the worse the service will be. I will give this place one more try, most likely, and that will determine if I change this review or ever go there again. The view? Amazing. The building? Beautiful. Location? Can't beat it. The service? NOPE. I had the same experience both times I was there. It's like I chose the wrong line at the grocery store, or I temporarily had a cloak of invisibility. I have cash in hand, I tip well...like really well even for their subpar wine...and

Went to portage lakes many years ago and wasn't expecting to find this gem riding around remanicing. The view off the back deck is breathtaking at sunset. The lower half is nice also. The winery inside has a new and clean vibe. A fireplace for winter months. The food could be a little better. Not much of a selection. The beer and wine were terrific though. Highly recommend for fantastic sweet wine, beer and a view!

Tastings: $1 each or do 3 for $5 and get a free wine glass.
*they will also give you a free "splash" if you are just trying to decide which what you'd like for a glass or bottle.
We tried: Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir
We ended up getting a bottle of the Pinot Noir and sat outside in the heated part of their patio. I wish it had been nicer out so we could have enjoyed their beautiful lake views! But I am so glad they had part of the patio enclosed with heaters so we could still sit outside. They have plenty of outdoor seating and even an area down the hill right by the water

Wonderful selection of wines, and some good brews too! Staff is quite friendly and service is quick even when busy. This place was fantastic at providing enough bottles and corks for all of our centerpieces! Picture is unfinished and a little messy. Not to mention the slushees are awesome!!!!! Buy the glass as it’s totally worth it as you will most likely want more than one and bringing it back provides a nice discount!

We went to Nauti Vine Winery on a Saturday afternoon in May, 2018 to buy a gift card for our real estate agent (and enjoy the wine and the view of Portage Lakes.)
My husband and I both love wine and beer so we were excited to taste the offerings as well as make our purchase. There was a line for tasting service the entire 2 hours we were there. We were lucky to nab a high-top table near the 2-story stone fireplace.
I'm a sucker for decor so the bar-stools we were perched on didn't escape my notice. They were made of wine barrel slats and metal straps. There was a selection of

I have to tell you this winery is wonderful! The views are over one of Portage Lakes with the boats and the winery is on top of the bluff looking over the lake. There is seating inside and out on the deck and also down below on the lake. Tonight they have a live guitar player inside and he's playing a nice selection of easy listening of the 70's, 80's and 90's.
The prices are reasonable for both the wine and the beer. Nice selection and microbrew beer as well. They have snacks and a few different pizza dishes. We had the cheese and pepperoni dish. It hit the spot.
