Looks to be a great wedding venue, but if you're looking for a "Winery/Vineyard", there are others in the area which fit the bill much, much better.
They are phasing out their own labeled wines and just selling cheap wines at premium prices. 90% percent of their wines could be purchased for under $10-15/bittle, yet they charge $8 a glass. Their food was ok, but again nothing special.

We had a reservation for five people. At arrival we were greeted by a warm and welcoming hostess who also brought us waters. We reviewed the menu and had our orders ready. Twenty five minutes later, no one had come to our table. I went inside and asked if I could place an order at the bar. Two servers were behind the bar and one of them said he would be right out. Ten more minutes passed, he came out and we saw him talking to other guests, but he never came over. We walked out.

Reflecting on Changes at a Once-Favorite Local Spot
The ambiance at the bar remains inviting, thanks to the cordial staff, a consistent highlight of my visits both past and present. Having frequented this establishment before it changed hands, I can't help but reminisce about the previous decor's authentic charm, which seems to have been overshadowed by the recent renovation that leans towards a more economical aesthetic.
The pricing, particularly for the wine, strikes a stark contrast with the ambiance. A modest bottle that retails for $10 is quadrupled in price here, which is surprisingly steep even when considering the usual restaurant markups.
Our experience in the much-anticipated plastic igloo was undercut by the chill – a brisk 50 degrees only sparsely fended off by a modest electric heater. The abundance of blankets on offer, though a thoughtful touch, couldn't compensate for the lack of adequate heating, leading us to reconsider our seating arrangement promptly.
The establishment's aspirations for a "high-end" label seem to be in a nascent stage, as the current offerings don't quite match the premium pricing structure. The menu describes what is essentially a pizza as a 'Flatbread', priced at $16 for a portion that leaves something to be desired in both size and culinary delight.
While the service is undeniably excellent, the lack of patronage during our visits implies a rather unhurried pace for the staff. It's not the bustling hotspot one might expect, yet the employees manage their duties with grace and efficiency.
The venue, still a picturesque setting, had previously served as a picturesque backdrop for events like prom photos for my children. However, the new aesthetic, though modern, didn't resonate with our dining guests.
In conclusion, it's an adequate establishment that doesn't quite hit the mark of luxury it seems to aim for. The prices would be more palatable during happy hour when they are more aligned with the value offered.

Quiet vineyard nestled in tranquil setting. It was perfect for the day planned with my sister in law to celebrate her birthday and to have a nice long cozy chat! The sun was shining on our beautifully decorated igloo. Our server, Aliyah was always attentive and fun. Wines are very good and food was delicious! We will go back!
