Local friends beware of this venue. Not worth the hassle that we experienced last night and she is the owner! We both ordered one sampler each, both being different so we could try one anotherās. Each contained 4 samples of wine. They brought them out in small clear plastic cups with little paper stickers that had the initials of the name of the wine typed on them on a black plastic tray. After tasting his first pick, Joel immediately commented to me he didnāt care for that particular one. I didnāt think anything of it. After sampling his second choice and tasting a little of mine he had observed the funny taste and smell that was coming from the small plastic cups. Thatās when I started to pick mine up and smell. A couple of my wines were sweeter and had bolder flavor so their aroma and taste overpowered the strength of what he was experiencing. I sipped his first sample, it tasted like medicine, literally. The cup had a weird overpowering odor, like when you store something in a cabinet for a long time. His first sample was acclaimed to be their ābest sellerā. There is no way that could be their best seller off of what we were tasting. After trying his second sample and getting the same feedback from me he walked up to the front and said something. Our young waitress followed him back and gathered up our samples and took them away. She then brought out a sample in a wine glass, after sipping it he told the young waitress that he liked it and the taste was vastly different than what he had experienced trying it out of the plastic cup. Sherrie followed a few minutes after, her body language and tone reflecting exactly how she felt; offended. She did not take his complaint lightly and was incredibly and distastefully rude. She told Joel she had gone to the back and drank from his plastic cup and then poured the same wine in a glass, she stated her comparison results were the same. She even made the comment āI hope you donāt have Corona because I drank after youā. She proceeded to argue with him in open on an outside patio, she was loud and disrespectful. She stated a couple of times she wouldnāt charge us for the samples, he tried to explain to her that it wasnāt about the money, that he was just trying to inform them of his experience so that someone else wouldnāt have to sample their wine in musty smelling/tasting cups. The samplers were $5 each, we definitely could afford $10. We had packed and brought a cheese platter with fruit and an olive salad that exceeded the amount of the wine we were sampling. To say that Iām disappointed is an understatement. I looked forward to this date all week, itās the first time weāve been OUT since the pandemic and my surgery. To have it ruined by an over sensitive grown woman because she couldnāt stomach constructive criticism over PLASTIC CUPS is...
Ā Ā Ā Read morethis is the best kept secret in town, i cant wait to bring all my friends back to this spot! they are doing only outside, due to covid; our waitress informed us it would move inside in the cold months.
it will be the last right on the little road and when you get up the short gravel drive there's not really marked parking but as long as your not blocking anyone, you should be fine. I followed the music around back and was excited to see it was a live violinist playing over beats. He was full of personality and played a healthy mix of genres. he doesnt perform daily, so call ahead to check.
NOW THE WINE, I don't think you can go wrong here! they have a variety of wine sample flights to mix and match and decently priced. we ended up FELLING IN LOVE with the midnight blue, it tastes like blueberry pie in a glass, and not too sweet! we took a bottle of that home only to be followed perfectly with a bottle of the Red dirt road red blend an off dry red with earthy notes. the only complaint i have is i cannot just nab it at a store closer, but i think the 30 minute drive with be beautiful...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreA Hidden Gem in Villa Rica ā Little Vine Vineyards
My wife and I absolutely love Little Vine Vineyards in Villa Rica, GA. As locals from nearby Fairfield, we feel incredibly lucky to have such a top-notch winery just around the corner. Weāre always on the hunt for great Georgia wines, and Little Vine consistently delivers some of the best we've found. Their Savana Sea Port especially stands out ā we did a blind taste test of several Georgia ports, and it was both of our favorites by far!
Whether weāre popping in to grab a few bottles, enjoying a tasting inside, or meeting up with friends to sit outside and listen to the local musicians they host each week, itās always a great experience. The setting is beautiful and relaxed, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Owners Jerry and Sherrie are incredible hosts ā you can truly tell how much care and pride they put into the place. Their staff, Michelle and Angela, are always a delight and make every visit feel personal.
If you're a wine lover or just looking for a great spot to unwind, Little Vine Vineyards is an...
