Why We Chose This Host

We needed a one night stop. This was close to the interstate, easy to get in and out of, and on our way!


First Impressions

It’s definitely more exciting inside the winery than outside, but they have a cute little patio set up. Lots of room in a pull through location.


Our Favorite Memories

❤️ Family Favorite

Chess board. Just for looks, but we all thought it was cool.

👦 Kid Favorite

Moon Pie’s in the gift shop. Who would have thought.

🐶 Oscar’s Review

No room to run off leash, but there was a grassy area for him to walk around. Definitely no issues with having him there.

🙋 Mom’s Moment of Calm

The boys went out for some groceries. I tried the wine by myself 🙂


What We Learned

We weren’t overly focused on learning with this stop, but there were some old nostalgic items in the gift shop we discussed together (like a Mona Lisa wannabe)


Traveling With Neurodivergent Kids

This wasn’t necessarily a kid friendly stop, but they were very kid friendly (oxymoron?). The kids walked around the winery and gift shop with us, and never once did we feel they shouldn’t be there. We had fun!


The Chaos Score

😌 Calm Score: 10/10

🌪️ Chaos Score: 5/10

Lots for the calm in us (wine!), but not a lot for chaos to do. The one night stay was perfect, giving mom and dad some down time.


Would We Stay Again?

Absolutely! They were kind, welcoming and easy to communicate with. We felt safe, and it was an easy one night stop. Not to mention, the wine was delicious!


Final Thoughts

We love places that are open and accepting like this – and such fun walking around their store and looking how the bottles were made.
