We went in to get some Balsamic Vinegar and were very surprised to discover the many different flavors of Balsamic Vinegar. Also Olive oil choices were abundant. Sales people are very knowledgeable and friendly.

The friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will tell you everything about everything in the house filled with history of a Captain who at 21 and on a small boat claims to have found Antarctica and his competitive younger siblings and some of their family who inhabited the house - a couple of nefarious ones too! The tour guide made this tour compelling and interesting for all ages including my two teens. Don’t forget to ask about the spirit who may still inhabit the house. And make sure you take a selfie with the large penguin that greets you by the front door.

This is a funky set up and really neat! The beers were tasty, service was good, and the setting was indoors yet felt outdoors due to the warehouse setting. Liked the two options for food from on premise restaurants as well. Great stop!

We went yesterday July 16th. Got there arond 145pm and they let us sample a few before we purchased a bottle of wine. We went with the Rose, which was not sweet, very refreshing and a blend of 3 grapes. We had brought our own lawn chairs and food and sat outside ont he lawn. We also could've grabbed a table if we so chose to but we didn't. Stayed for about 2 hours, read, drank and we brought our own charcuterie, but you could purchase that there or a meat and cheese etc. I can't wait to go back, the grounds are so pretty overlooking the vineyard. We left at 4pm and more people were coming in as it closes at 5pm or so.
