La Famiglia winery

Unexpectedly lovely. This winery is in the basement of a local home near Strongsville. it is literally in a residential area. The outdoor decor is very nice, and neat as a pin. They have lights and signage to let you know you're at the right house. They even have a small vineyard growing in the backyard.. Upon entering the door to the winery, you will find yourself in a stairwell with stairs going down to the basement. Once you're in the basement you will immediately forget you are in a basement. It is quite a spacious and comfortable area with lots of tables and couches, a fireplace, a bar, and a bathroom. There's even a section where they make the wine in steel barrels. It's very cozy, charming, friendly and clean.The host/owners are extremely friendly. It seems that the owner's family is from Northern Italy and we enjoyed talking to them.The Wine itself far exceeded my expectations. We tasted three reds plus the Chardonnay, and we enjoyed all of it. The blueprint red blend was my favorite followed by the Chardonnay. I'm a bit of a Wine snob and I typically don't like Ohio wine. However, I was pleasantly surprised...okay...if we're being honest...actually shocked...that all the wine we tasted was excellent. I will definitely be telling all my friends and family about La Famiglia winery!

Heard about this winery at the townships homecoming- so of course had to plan a girls night out to visit them. What a lovely little winery; the best kept secret. The wines were delicious and the owners were personable, and chatted with their guest. A "family" feel vibe! I really appreciate that their wine doesn't have as much sulfites as many other brands. - I look for them as they tend to be a migraine trigger for me. Here to say no headache while drinking or this morning when waking up! I'm not much of a dry wine person, but did try The Rough-in. I was genuinely surprised at how delicious it was for this sweet wine drinker. I was very pleased with my experience and definitely will return . The atmosphere, staff, and cliental were phenomenal.
