Seven Jars Winery is a newer winery and distillery (I think around 10 years old or so) and they offer a blend of traditional and innovative wines, as well as a distillery with whiskey and vodka. There is something for everyone and if you do the tasting, you get around 15 -16 tokens to taste options at the winery and distillery. On the winery side, they have a selection of white and red wines, as well as sangria options. Some are even in production and if they're a hit, they will begin to bottle them for purchase.In the distillery side, they have whiskey and vodka in variety. The 102 proof whiskey and the rye options were super smooth! They have a pickle vodka which was different, but really good when paired with the Bloody Mary mix! You also do a distillery tour, to see what's made and how it's made. They also have a really great story about their history!The staff was amazing and friendly from start to finish! They answered questions, explained options, gave recommendations and had fun doing it all!

Went for a post July 4th outing. We tried a bunch of wines and distilled spirits - bought a few bottles. It's a great outing for a rainy day. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. It's not a typical winery - it's in the city so no rolling hills of vines and you're not going to relax on the grounds, but we had fun.

Wonderfully warm and charming spot to host a good time while engaging in tasting with friends! The charcuterie board was plentiful and paired excellently with the variety of wine selections. Every staff member was awesome! They all welcomed and greeted us excitedly and provided such great information, including the history! We had a great time! Every wine and whiskey option was great to try!

An out of town friend and I came here for their tasting. We had the "tour" to ourselves as they were about to close for a private event, but let us come in anyway.I will say this, it is a bit pricey for what it is. $20 was high imho for the tastings you get, even though you got quite a bit of tastings, but I still feel like $10 would have been more appropriate, but that's my only gripe.The first part of the tour you go into a little sitting room w/all sorts of old memorabilia and the owner tells the history of the "Seven Jars" which covers mobster activity in the Queen City and some great anecdotes involving Vegas. The storytelling was great and enthralling!You then go to where the whiskey is brewed and it's a quick and dirty sort of how they make their product and you can even see the mash and smell the distillate. If you've never done a distillery tour, it's not overly informative, but you get the gist.Then you do the whiskey and spirit tasting. We tried their vodkas & whiskeys, all of which were interesting and tasty. However, we both loved that they actually smoke one of your whiskey tasters, which was our fav. Joe, who was our host for the tastings, was an absolute delight and also our fav!They also brew beer and have wines to taste in a different area. They have snacks to pair w/the wines, which were just OK and we didn't get to try the beers because their private event was about to start.All in all a nice experience and my friend enjoyed himself. Would recommend checking out if the $20 tasting price tag isn't too much of a deterrent. They also have a great gift shop with a lot of fun wine, beer, and whiskey shirts and household knick knacks.

A friend and I tried this place and we loved it! You get 14 tastings and can mix and match them between wines and liquors. So we both tried 8 wines and 6 liquors. Our guide Weeb, was very knowledgeable of all the pours and was very pleasant and patient with us and all of our questions. They sell beer, wine and cider making kits as well which I think is awesome. Definitely a nice way to kill an hr or so on a nice wkend.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our tour! We love to hear how small businesses get their start, and Seven Jars did not disappoint! Our tour guide, Weeb, was fantastic and answered all our questions. I highly recommend the Bloody Mary Mix with their Pickleback Vodka. If pickle is not your thing, try theirselection of wine, bourbon whiskey, or beer.

This was an amazing tour!!! We booked online and we were luckily the only people in our time slot! So we received very individual treatment while there!There is a wine side of the distillery and a alcohol side! Due to laws in NC, they cannot be in the same dwelling!Our first part of the tour was the wine side! I personally love a good sweet to semi sweet wine! There were plenty of accompaniments to try with the wine! The young lady was very knowledgeable about each wine and was very friendly! She was very charming and personal do and picked up on our palettes and knew where we would quit her tastings. She was right!! Our amateur pallets tapped right out as they got more bitter! The wine tour was a hit with us so we ventured next door for the alcohol/liquor tasting! The young man was soo friendly and fun! Given that I am not a big liquor drinker, it was a bit much for me! But I tried them all! LoL! He gave us the story of the distillery which was pretty cool! There is a separate room with pictures and memorabilia of the story of the distillery! It was very entertaining and a wonderful story!All in all, it was an awesome tour with charming guides to direct!

Went for a wine tasting after a volunteer event and was pleasantly surprised by the place. It's a winery (left door) and distillery (right door), and had a very nice selection of wines. They also offer a tour.
