Locally grown hops makes for nice locally crafts beer. They have great homemade root beer, too. Often they have a food truck or catering onsite for a casual bite to eat. This place gets busy ... it’s popular ‘cause the beer is good.

Upscale! Wonderful service in historic, restored inn. Check if their “Friday Night Date Night” is available - $50 for dinner for 2 with wine and dessert (off season only typically) Sunday brunch is epic. Often there is live music on the porch - perfect with a beverage in a rocking chair. Their bartending is the best in the area - they can make a classic Martini like nobody’s business.

Wineries - Distilleries

Adorable winery/farm ... Sue and her hubby run a sweet spot and make some nice wines. Try a tasting and pick a fav then sit by the fire pit or walk through the vines to the cool creek along the back. They often have live music, too. If you like sweet wine this is the best place. The others we recommend don’t have much in the way of sweet.
