I really love that this winery is in a beautiful country setting, however, their immediate neighbors are serious contenders for an episode of the show hoarders. Our burgers were good, everything was served on flatbread. Our server knew very little about the menu, which consisted of about 5 items. She also appeared to know very little about the wines offered. Our server dropped off our food and a bottle of wine and never returned. The individual ketchup packets were obnoxious with two people who ordered burger and fry baskets it was a lot of packet opening. The wine was pretty good, and at night when you couldn't see the neighbors property it is beautiful. The winery building is rustic and the burgers were decent and reasonably priced. Not very impressed with the service but this winery is worth checking out and has a ton of potential.

We completed the entire tour in three sections. It was a fun exercise in learning about this part of Ohio. The roads were rough in places, but all passable. Signs were well placed and with a GPS, we did not get lost. Don't forget a camera to record your adventure.
4. Noema Rock & Gem Shop

I could not believe the selection of rocks, fossils, shells, and unique items from around the world. To look at this shop on the outside, you would think it was a barn. The inside is filled with treasures. The lady who works there knows EVERYTHING you can imagine about the different pieces. The owner travels to remote places in the world to bring back a variety of specimens.
I would even recommend it for a school field trip! Their Facebook page (link below) has lots of photos.
Plus, I'm a cat lover and there are a few well-fed strays that welcome you.

Beautiful relaxing scenery. Canoes launch from here, fishing by the damn. Autumn is amazing to see at this place. Covered bridge over the Grand River, one side has as play set for kids and both sides have picnic tables available.

We were there on a weekday. Because they weren't very busy we got excellent one on one care. The gentleman that took care of us explained the wines completely. He listened to what we liked and then suggested some wines for us to taste. We ended up walking out with a full case. I am enjoying the wine that we selected. I will revisit again when I'm in the area

Spent a few days at Geneva on the Lake and am lucky to have searched out Nancy and the Barrels and Bridges Tours.
We did an afternoon tour and loved every moment of it.
Nancy knows here stuff and is a blast to spend the day with.

Lots of fun. We were able to horse back ride through the woods, the corn fields and along several trails. All level of riders accommodated including beginners! Horses can be so calming and relaxing. We appreciated seeing the fall leaves, covered bridge, and even plenty of extra sights along the way. Be sure to wear jeans and solid shoes. Definitely worth making the time!

This place would be interesting if you're into history as well as if you have a great interest interesting train history. I would not recommend it for families, however the town is a neat little town to visit and there is a great dinner around the corner on main street.
