Carlson Vineyards Winery — Attraction in Clifton

We went out to the wineries this past holiday weekend for my friend’s bachelorette party, and this was hands down everyone’s favorite out of our group of six! They have a charming patio with a grassy area that overlooks the vineyards, creating a beautiful atmosphere to relax in, with a decent amount of shade too!

The wine was delicious with a wide variety of types ranging from dry to sweet—the peach wine was also a group fav! The best part about this winery is their resident cats, which might stroll on by while you’re enjoying your wine.
