We really enjoyed our experience and got a good overview of the winery. We tried quite a few wines (10+) and had a nice selection of items to go enjoy with them. We enjoyed our guide and several of the people that were part of our group. We will come back to dine one night as the table settings looked romantic as the arranged throughout the cave in very private settings.

This was for our 33rd Anniversary. It was lovely. A bit cold inside the cave. Recommend bringing a sweater or light jacket. The food was good and the ambience was perfect for a quiet but very special evening. We will take our kids here soon.

We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday here with a party of 9 people. When we arrived I was a little worried bc there was a large party very close to us that was having a great time (so they were very loud), but they were finishing up as we were siting down, so the only noise going on was from our table, I didn’t see any other tables from where we were. We were in the cave which was so cool! The service was fabulous!! The food was very good, we started with the Chimichurri Fries and the Pulled Cheese Bread… both were INSANELY delicious!!! Four of us split the Short Rib which was also delish, 1 had the Butternut Squash Salad with salmon and she said the salmon was a little dry, but the salad was good, and 3 men split the Tomahawk Special, which they said the flavor was great, but the meat was a little tough. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and a really fun place to have a special event, it is chilly inside the cave, so come prepared!! I would definitely recommend!
