    Great place, but a little understaffed. Long waits for service, or even when standing alone at the host stand. Excellent food and wine. A bit pricey, but not out of line for RiNo

    Went here with a reservation for the wine tasting of 5 reserve wines & charcuterie board. From the moment we walked in the service was bad. They didn’t ask what our reservation was even for before seating us & handing us menus. Once we finally got a waitress she had a bad attitude & was not in the slightest polite. We said we weren’t ordering off the menu & had a reservation for the reserve wine tasting. They first brought out 2 of the reserve wines, then a separate waitress brought us 3 wines that were not on our tasting menu & weren't even apart of the reserve wines. They were so disorganized & unhelpful. We were hoping to learn more about wine & what we were tasting but instead just ended up drinking random glasses below what we had paid for. Not to mention when we asked about the wines being wrong the waitress rudely said she would bring the manager only to return herself & say she didn’t know what happened but there was nothing she could do?? Definitely would not go back even if the building & ambience was beautiful.

    We selected the wine tasting. You are not allowed to select your wine choices and sadly we did not enjoy any. Next we were seated at a small table. Small enough that I had to hold my items as she was unable to place our food on the table with the drinks. Finally, the server. She was a bit rude.

The food was delicious and satisfying! The ambiance was great and perfect for “date night!” I will definitely be returning in the future to try more of their wines and food menu options!

Our friends were able to come and go without a lot of separating check hassle. Great ambiance and outdoor area with sunshine! Loved how dog friendly as well! Highly recommend

    The wine was great, the charcuterie board was far too acidic. I think that this place would be good if we stayed on the typical menu, but I would avoid the "experience" that I booked through the app. The flatbread we ordered was delicious I will give it another chance in the future

    I had a good time at this winery. However, the prices for wine tasting ended up being around 30$ more than what was stated on the website. And that was not including our 25% tip to our wonderful waiter.

    The building is nestled in a fairly industrial part of town, but once inside it created a modern feel. The charcuterie board was a little small, but paired well with the reserve flight we sampled. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was loud enough to feel safe talking about private things but quiet enough to hear across the table. We liked it. You should try it.
