Favorite Wine: Norton

Beautiful grounds are your first impression. Then a very nicely done tasting room. During our visit we were the only ones there and received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the father and daughter team. Given how new this winery is the wines were surprisingly good. There Norton was a good representation of what had been previously described as the Kansas City style. Ladoga made me appreciate this style more. Didn't really taste a bad wine although some were in styles not in our range of preference. We will definitely come back and enjoy their wines and park like setting. Very relaxing. Smithville Lake is just a few blocks away.

Went for the first time with my daughter who has been several times. The people there were very friendly and was very informative. It is a very beautiful property looking out at the vines.

Favorite Wine: Concord

Not an easy name to remember, and not the easiest place to find, but this is a beautiful winery with some good wines. They had a good variety, but their dessert wines were the most intriguing. The Strawberry Rhubarb was more liquid candy than wine. There was a rather large seating area inside, but despite the cool temperatures we enjoyed the beautiful view at one of the outdoor tables. Well worth the trip, especially if you are visiting a couple of the Northland wineries.
