Better than average wines, less than average ambiance. It is just a tin building-not sure what they were going for there. Very nice story though-a tobacco farmer who started a successful winery named after his prize winning heffer.

Favorite Wine: Chardonnay/Cab Franc
This is my absolute favorite winery. Everything about my trip there was great. The food at the restaurant was great, and all the veggies came from their own CSA organic farm. All the wines were great, even the sweet ones were OK, which I'm not usually a fan of. They had everything from sweet reds to dry whites. The winery itself is beautiful, with a nice rock fireplace, and a pond with a gazebo in it that you can walk out on. Perhaps the best part was actually getting to talk to the wine maker and the owner which you do not get to do at hardly any other wineries-especially the bigger ones. I highly recommend this winery to any wine lover out there.
