Wineries Places Map
Wineries in the USA:
Robert Mondavi Winery
Nelson's Green Brier Distillery
If you're planning on buying anything from the gift shop, my advice is to check for special sales or discounts. I found some cool swag at a lower price that wasn’t advertised.
Biltmore Estate Winery
I suggest checking out the winery's schedule before you go; they often have complimentary tastings or special events that aren't advertised widely. It’s a nice surprise!
City Winery
I recommend trying the charcuterie board; it’s a perfect match for the wine selections! However, don’t be shy to ask for more bread if you run out – they’re usually happy to provide it
I think the service can be a bit slow during busy nights, so have your drink order ready when the server arrives to save time. Trust me, it can make a big difference!
My advice is to arrive by 5 PM to snag a good table with a view of the stage. The prime spots fill up fast and you don’t wanna miss the music!
If you're looking to save some cash, you can order a wine flight instead of a full glass. It's a great way to sample different wines without breaking the bank
Williamsburg Winery
I think the outdoor seating is a must! Grab a bottle and relax outside. Just be wary of the bees as they seemed to be everywhere. A bit annoying but worth it!
I suggest starting your visit around 3 PM. You can catch the late afternoon sun, and it’s less crowded, so you have more time to enjoy the wines without feeling rushed.
Caraccioli Cellars
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey
Make sure to book your tour in advance. They can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. I almost missed out because I didn't plan ahead!
Silver Hand Meadery
Don't forget to ask about the special flavors or seasonal meads. I stumbled upon a limited edition that was amazing. Totally worth it!
Great Lakes Distillery & Tasting Room
Ask about the cocktail flights! They have great pairings that you won’t find on the menu. It’s a fun way to explore different flavors without spending too much.
Balistreri Vineyards
My advice is to bring a picnic. They allow outside food, and enjoying their wine with some snacks in the garden area was a highlight of my visit.
