Cracked Barrel Winery

This winery as of the end of April 2024 is open on Friday and Saturday. We visited on a chilly Saturday afternoon. The tasting room was quite crowded. There are tables and booths in the back portion of the location but there was a "private" party (who brought in their own food and wine?!) so we shared a high top in the front of the tasting room. We ordered flights of 5 wines ($9 each) and the deluxe cheese and crackers. I hate to say it- but all the wines we sampled were not good. The "Port Station" was the best of the 10 wines I sampled. It is a Frontenac grape and wasn't really a port, but it was dry and slightly more full bodied than anything else we sampled. Not really worth taking a bottle home. All the other wines tasted watered down and honestly, I don't think I've ever been to a winery (or anywhere that served wine) where it was served in plastic cups. All the flavors were pretty flat without much aroma and no finish. A few had a bitter taste. The deluxe cheese and crackers were pretty basic and not really worth ordering. The wines were such a bummer- which should be the reason you visit a winery.

Great service and team, wine and pizza all in a cozy friendly atmosphere! The entertainment was also great the afternoon we were there!

I had no idea this winery existed prior to our visit. We stopped in on a Saturday as soon as they opened. Due to being the first ones there we had the whole place to ourselves. The place was small, but charming and the staff were very friendly. We opted with the sampler, and I loved that we got to pick what we wanted to try. Not every winery let's you select your tasting. We picked a couple of whites, a rose and some reds. Overall I wasn't a huge fan of any of them- but I like very sweet wine and well cocktails lol. My husband on the other hand ended up getting two bottles of white wine so clearly my tastebuds are off.We had a fun time visiting the winery and I think we would stop back if we are ever in the area again. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes and was a great way to start our weekend!

Owners are absolutely wonderful. Great hospitality at the winery. Enjoyed learning about their operation and picked up a few bottles for more enjoyment at home!

Cutest little winery! They've got all you need in a winery: private parking lot, gorgeous vineyard with plenty of outdoor seating (including a patio swing), indoor seating, and really friendly staff. Oh AND they've got snacks and beer for those who don't want to partake in wine.Great place for a date night, girls night, or a group! Would love to make another visit to Cracked Barrel this summer!

There are 3 reasons for 5 stars:1. The owner talked with the 3 of us through our flights! Super smart and funny! Would love to hang with her again!2. The wine was fabulous! Truly!! There were 3 bottles I could have purchased and been happy!! (Only bought 2). Will probably go back for more!!3. Vinny. I haven't had my leg licked like that in a long time! Thank you Vinny! I'll bring a bone next time!Didn't know they had food. We ate lunch in Hudson... next time we'll just head there!You done good Cracked Barrel! Really good!!

Serene atmosphere with the friendliest owner! This is a great place to kick back and enjoy some delicious wine with family and friends. The inside is quaint, but has a few spots to sit at the bar as well as a handful of tables. The patio overlooks acres of vineyards and each table is paired with adjustable umbrellas. The scenery is truly so peaceful.I started off with a flight and ended up liking Station best, so I ordered a bottle. They also offer appetizers and snack plates to munch on too.

This is by far my favorite winery!! The atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to help!All the wines were amazing with Ascend being my favorite! I highly recommend coming to Cracked Barrel winery! Thank you staff for making our trip to your winery the best!!

This is the BEST winery around . They make their own wine and make it to perfection. So many to choose from , you will definitely love at least one (or 4 like I do ) . The staff is very friendly and work their butts off when it's very busy. The owners are amazing and host many fun events , craft events, BINGO , painting classes and always involved in fundraising events, which says a lot on our their character . You will not be disappointed if you stop by.

I have visited a few times and they have the best atmosphere, great welcoming help and yummy slushies! Also check out the different nights of entertainment. I give this a 5 star all the way.
