JOLO Winery & Vineyards

Yummy Beach bubbly and Crimson Creek. Nice landscaping and views. Beautiful building but a bit noisy with food preparation and restaurant activity while tasting wines.

What a wonderful place! JW was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wines are uniquely high quality not just for North Carolina wine but for all wine. The Pilot Fog was a group favorite.
I loved watching food being prepared right in front of us. Gave me a lot to look forward to at lunch. We had the bacon deviled eggs, pork tacos and carrot cake bites! It was all sumptuous.
Day was made perfect by enjoying our lunch outside on a beautiful spring day with that amazing view!
An absolute must for a North Carolina wine trip

We went when they first open. Wasn’t too crowded. The wines were great! Seeing the owner in the background helping out and talking to the customers made the atmosphere welcoming. We did dine in the restaurant. Presentation was outstanding. The food itself was ok. There was a ring of oil around the marinara sauce that had separated. The chicken parmigiana was dry. It was warm and some spots were still cold. It was fully cooked. So that makes me think that they cooked it the previous day and reheated it. It was very tough and hard to cut. The lady who did our wine tasting was very knowledgeable. She also made a few jokes and asking questions and making a connection. Great establishment. We will be back for the wine but may past on the dining experience.

Gorgeous location with incredible views! My friends and I visit a new vineyard annually and Jolo was this year's location. When we arrived it was VERY busy, we were seated 20 after our reservation time of 2pm and were told that we had to be up by 3 because they had another event in that same room. We, a group of 9, were a little upset because we weren't told this over the phone or we would have planned to go somewhere else. We were later told that we could continue sitting until 4. The food was great, the wine was delicious too! Tried their sangria, it was perfect! I'm giving them a 4 because even though we felt rushed at the beginning, everyone was accommodating. We were able to use another room for a game that the group had planned.

I would suggest that since they are too crowded and don't offer a lot of sitting room in their lobby, that they make an investment in outdoor heaters. There is so much to admire outside but nobody wants to be cold. Adding heaters would add comfort to the views during the winter! Because we had to request several rooms to be comfortable after we had to leave the dining area, I'm giving them a 4.
