Friendly staff, wines pretty good

We stopped at Von Jakob for the first time on a rainy Thursday afternoon in March. Only one or two other tables of guests were there at the time, so we had the tasting counter to ourselves. The woman working that day was super friendly...More

Enjoyed the beer better.

Came into the area for the weekend. Been over 10 years since I’ve been here. I remember loving this place before. Today was just “meh” with the exception of the beer. Loved the stout and the cider was pretty good too. We shared a pint...More

Always a must

One of our favorite wineries! The Hillside White is a good choice. We miss the original location but understand why they moved. Good food as well.

Winery/Brewery/B&B

The winery/brewery was entertaining with live music. Small deck. We enjoyed the wine. The bed and breakfast was very close to the road and you could hear traffic noise outside of the house. Inside was quiet. Enjoyed the large bath tub. Wish it was off...More

Disappointed

Was excited to go here from hearing they had amazing views. The deck was very small, not enough umbrellas to sit under, the slushies were small and overpriced. One of the members of our group had to return his beer because it tasted like bleach...More

I'll start off by saying they were very busy at the time of our visit. That might be part of the reason our visit wasn't so great. We ended up having multiple employee's serve us which got kind of hectic because one would pour us...More
