So this vineyard is a little diamond in the rough, and not sure you would find it if you didn't know what you were looking for to get there. Very cozy though, the location tucked back into a wooded area and viola, a vineyard! Super cute area, great wine and very friendly staff. Plenty of seating and you can bring your own appetizers. Beautiful vineyard and perfect for a sunny afternoon.

NECC always seems to be bustling with activity but that business doesn't keep the staff from being friendly and attentive (although you may have to wait a minute to be served.) The offerings are ever changing with generally about six different flavors at any one time. The offers run from traditional to inventive and from sweet to bone dry so you are bound to find something you'll like. They also offer snacks and nibbles, many of which, like their cider, are gluten-free! They often host events and demonstrations. A fun place for couples or for groups of friends to meet and socialize.

This is the ultimate outdoor (or indoor) chill spot. With nice weather you can enjoy wine at a picnic table, host an engagement shower, class reunion, or group of friends. Super low cost and it's beautiful scenery. On a night out, take the drinks indoors and have some food/snacks with a board game or deck of cards.
