Roaring River Vineyards

A little out of way but worth a Sunday drive to visit. The Restaurant Tasting Room situated above the river offers beautiful scenery. The menu was Cafe style, limited selections but ample enough to satisfy any hungry guests. The river itself is marked private, no trespassing. The manager said fishing is allowed as catch and release basis but is implied to apply to guests staying at their lodge.

While camping nearby, we decided to check this place out. It’s dog friendly so Rex was happy. We went on a Friday at lunch time and it was not crowded at all. Staffing seemed short but our waitress was hustling. We ordered spinach and artichoke dip appetizer. She did a flight of wine tastings and I ordered a very tasty honey dew ale. We sat outside on the deck that overlooks the creek. Great view. This place has a restaurant and a small campground (minimal hookups for around 10 campers or RVs). I would have given it a 5 star review, but one of the workers was using a gas blower very close by. They should have done that before opening or after closing. Otherwise a good experience.

They have seating inside and out with wine or beer flights, tasting and food. Views to the river are beautiful. This vineyard also has small cottages for overnight stays which is great if you want to continue to explore the area.

We stayed at the winery with the Harvest Host program. We enjoyed an early dinner and drinks at the restaurant. The wines were superior and the meals were delicious! The staff was helpful and attentive. The owner is personable and gracious!

This was a weekend getaway for my birthday the restaurant was welcoming and the staff treated us kindly. I do no dink alcohol but my husband talked me in to the wine tasting to my surprise I actually found one that I liked and bought a bottle. We will open it for our anniversary. We also stayed in the cabin and it was so peaceful just what I needed to decompress from Healthcare. Thank you again
