Clover Meadow Winery — Attraction in Town of Dewey

If I could give 0 or negative stars I would. This place does not deserve a single star.

I’ve NEVER been so uncomfortable; scared, and disrespected.

We were in town for a cute bachelorette party for my best friend! Google said they were open but we got there… closed! Fine! No worries. However, we called just to double check. A man answered and said he would be down to open up… ok…

He was rude from the start… RUDE!!!! Like I get mad just typing this! He said “clearly you’re not from around here…” okay… then no light, no music, no people… just us and this creepy man. Which we truly gave him the benefit of the doubt.

He said what are you celebrating? We said a bachelorette party! She is getting married. He said well some people make mistakes… okay rude but maybe his humor? Idk! Still doing our best to make the most of this uncomfortable and awkward situation…

We are now alone… the three of us… in a back room with this man who doesn’t want us here… which then don’t open? That would have been better!

He then tells us about his tasting and the bride asked a valid question about what’s included and he goes “so this is where I get rude… (get?!) listening skills is important… it’s on the menu and everything on the menu is included…” his tone is awful… just a bad bad bad experience…

We decided to leave before ordering… he doesn’t deserve our money…

How anyone stayed long enough to order is beyond me…

He should not be in business… this is not a business… how he has a liquor license is actually scary.

Please RUN!!! Don’t go here!!!! It was awful!!!

Shout out to the place we went to after… Perlick distillery! They are a 5+ star place!

Skip this Clover Meadow… don’t make our...

Uniquely creepy...a night at the Bates Motel would have been better...

Our friends took us there. They had been there before COVID and the place was packed! We thought it was unique that it was a horse sanctuary so we thought let's give it a Whirl.

Creepy old guy meets us, leads us into the tasting room. Throws menus on the tables and doesn't really explain anything. We proceed to pick wines. If he was out of it he made no apologies and grumpily said, 'Don't have it'. kind of like it was our fault!

As we chatted between us he stood there listening to our conversations. Creepy!

We finally finished and as my husband was paying we started looking at all the paintings on the wall. He started telling us about them, then the two US flags in cases. THEN proceeds to tell us the story of a distant uncle who served in the war, came back, became a bootlegger with connections to Dillinger. Uncle has a breakdown, takes his family out in the field, attempts to shoot them before turning the weapon on himself!

We could get out of there fast enough. As we walked out, three women were walking in and they asked us how it was....we said...RUN!

They followed us down the driveway!

OH ... And no more horses ... the neighborhood 'Karen'...

Off of the dirt road tucked back beyond the trees is a quaint winery/distillery. Surrounded by horse and big windows looking out with a wood fire stove burning in the corner. You enter and it is not like any other winery you have been too. Two rescue dogs greet you - you'll later realize they have 48 + animals in rehabilitation and all proceeds go to helping the animals and wine, liquor and brandy making is an incentive to your donation. Taste a variety of different organic homemade wine. Talk with the owners and sit back and smile over a bowl of chew-mix at how homelike you feel. There is plans for dispersed camping, RV-hookups and more. Live music and game night. This is the perfect place for a girls days, date night, family frenzy or a tourist stop. Clover Meadow Winery and White Wolf Distillery was amazing and I hope to learn about the rest of their horses, wine making skills and the phenomenal stories...
