Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
What a great place. $20 gets 6 pours, keep the glass and $5 off bottle purchase. We tried 6 reds, all were excellent. Really enjoyed the Cab Franc and the Meritage. Chuck was exceptionally nice and thorough in explaining every pour. He surely added greatly to our tasting. Glad to take a couple bottles back to Oklahoma with us.
Went there Sunday for wine tasting. Don’t need reservations so really easy choice if you are suddenly in the mood to taste. Great grounds, wonderful ambience. Need a mask to go inside and plenty of seating outside to really enjoy the weather. Very dog friendly Tasting costs $20 for six pours. The white wines were all great (dry Riesling was particularly good). We enjoyed most of the reds as well. Stepped into Carols to see if they had a cheese plate or something easy to take out with the wines and they didn’t, but that wasn’t a big deal. Generally a great experience and highly recommend.
We did some research on the fly of which vineyard to visit and this one came up on Food & Wine, which we consider a somewhat reliable source, so we went. We got there and the parking lot was empty, we thought they were closed. Went inside and they were open, just a slow day I suppose. Inside has the look of a castle. The walk up had lots of interesting concrete decorations. Inside also had a very strong smell of air freshener, something that should never be used in a winery, let alone a tasting room. (After we left, it took a while to clear our noses of that heavy smell) The wines were just OK, definitely nothing at all what we’re used to from California wineries, more in linen with those we’ve visited in PA, CO, and even the run-of-the-mill very low-end VA wineries. But, to each their own. The lady working inside was very friendly and helpful. Prices are fair, they even have all sorts of specials, such as get 2 bottles free when buying a case. Guess they’re trying their best to move their wine!
This was my favorite winery during our weekend visit. The man pouring our wine was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable which I guess one would be when you've been there for 30 yrs! Wine was reasonably priced and we walked out with two bottles and loved the fact that we got to keep the glasses!
We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting experience at Baily Vineyard. The wines are in the French style. The Cabs are HUGE! My husband is a fan of bold Cabernets and he was a happy man. I loved the Meritage, but ended up taking home a bottle of Rose to enjoy sitting outside our motorhome in the evening. I think the tasting cost $25 for 6 generous pours, and you get $10 off a bottle of wine. They no longer give away a glass with the tasting, as I read in other reviews. I was a bit disappointed as having a glass is one way I use to remember wineries I’ve visited.
