Upon arrival we were definitely impressed. My wife and I frequent numerous wineries in the tri-state area and both were blown away by the establishment. As you pull into the driveway and pass under the archway you can't help but smile when you see the estate unfold before you. Rows of grape vines and beautifully maintained vast lawns ensconced the well positioned buildings for which are the winery and the banquet hall. As you enter the establishment there's a welcoming presence and a beautiful wine barrel mural on the wall. The staff were all quite nice and quick to answer any questions we had in regards to us making our wine selection for the tasting. We like sweet/fruit based wines and everything we tried was fantastic. My flight consisted of the cranberry wine, peach honey, and a desert wine named "Ed's Apple Frost.." They were all quite yummy and we chose to share a bottle of the Cranberry for which they put in a chiller for us to take outside. There's numerous places to sit, both inside and out, and even chairs close to the stream that runs through the grounds and there man made body of water that has a fountain in it as well. They also recommend bringing your own chairs if wanted and sitting anywhere we choose on the grounds. We were also delighted that they had a Greek based food truck there that day for which my wife and I ordered a Gyro sandwich for her and a Chicken based pita with cucumber sauce for myself. Both of our dinners were exceptional and paired nicely with our choice of wine. We both loved our time here and will definitely return again when the opportunity presents itself in the...
Read moreDrove past it a number of times, and finally stopped in to check it out. Really neat place with lots of varied outdoor seating. The wine was excellent. We had a sangria and a cranberry wine. Have a nice little giftshop area as well.
Stopped by for the first really warm day this spring. Sat outside by the creek sipping sangria. The wine was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. They have added a new feature, a breakfast themed brunch board on Saturday and Sunday. It is a collation of pastries, fruits, bacon and sausages.we are planning on trying it next time we go.
Nothing has changed except for my appreciation for the place. My wife and I spent part of a summer afternoon starting by the side of the creek sipping on wine. It was incredibly peaceful listening to the sounds of the bubbling creek and the songs of birds.
They added incredibly beautiful Christmas decorations. It was a wonderful experience drinking Sangria in the beautiful common area.
They have added a fondue that is excellent. They have their own fondue cheese recipe which is very tasty. They serve it with a variety of breads, fresh vegetables, fruits and meats.
They have added soft pretzels as an occasional treat. They are very good!
They have also added new outdoors chairs by the creek and pond.
They let me know that they will begin serving a mulled wine. I can't wait to try it. If it is as good as their fondue and regular wines it should be excellent!
They have recently added flatbread pizza, nachos and cheese, and pretzels and cheese which are...
Read moreOn 8-19-17, my (now) husband and I got married at DC Estate Winery! What a PERFECT venue! We’re from Janesville and wanted something a little unique for our guests without having to fly everyone to a destination. And although DC Estate Winery is just 20 minutes away, we sure felt like we treated everyone to a beautiful winery getaway! It’s a beautiful place and the staff is exceptional. Hands down one of the biggest benefits to choosing DC Estate Winery was Tia, the wedding coordinator. AMAZING! I honestly don’t know how she does it. She’s organized, very quick to respond, very quick to help and do whatever she can to personalize your wedding. Plus she has a wonderful relationship with all of the vendors. From start to finish, Tia made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. She proactively made sure we were on top of everything we needed to have done, and she simply has enough experience to know what just needs to get done versus what small details she COULD (but doesn't) be stressing a bride out with. She’s a true professional, and I strongly feel every bride should have a Tia to help. So I feel super fortunate to have found such a beautiful venue with such an amazing team of wedding experts. I often joke to people that the 1 problem with our wedding is that it’s unfortunately only a 1 time event. Because if I could do it all over again, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Largely because of the beautiful venue and wonderful Tia. Oh… Also…. it’s a huge bonus that the wine is...
