DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards

The wine tasting was great, a little disappointed that the tasting glasses were not included in the price. We had the flight and the extra tasting of the port. We also ate lunch there, for the most part the food and service was good. My issue is with the spinach and artichoke dip, or what they called a spinach and artichoke dip, it was a cheese dip with a small amount of chopped spinach and a hint of artichoke in it. If you are going to serve a spinach and artichoke dip then serve spinach and artichoke dip! Not a cheese dip. The dip should be loaded with spinach, artichoke and parmesan cheese not processed cheese.

i enjoyed the wine and the food at the winery very much . My only wish would be that ALL the staff would wear masks. We requested the wine taster to wear a mask which she happily did so, but once we went upstairs to eat our waiters did not.

we ate quickly and left- we did not feel safe to linger when most of the staff didn’t wear masks.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Totally surpassed my expectations with the tastings and the restaurant. If you are going through Baxter, TN & you love wine then you need to stop here!! Our servers were so knowledgeable and friendly. Will be back for sure!

The first time I visited DelMonaco, I was spending a girls weekend in a cabin nearby and we were looking for a nice day activity. I had seen billboards on the interstate for years but never had to opportunity to stop, so I was excited to check it out. Apparently, we visited on a weekend when the wine train was visiting the vineyard. That meant we were able to enjoy live music, fun games, and a hayride through the vines driven by the owner of the winery! There was a barbecue lunch available for purchase as well as many vendors to shop. When you win one of the games, you receive a “DelMonaco Dollar” worth $1 off a bottle purchase. The second time I visited was on the wine train itself! Representatives from the winery walk you through a tasting of all of the wines available at DelMonaco. Once we arrived, there were again all of the activities I had experienced before. Personally, I thought the bottle prices were a bit high (~$20 on average) but after playing a few games and winning a couple of dollars off, the wines are well worth the price. The winery was also offering a selection of local craft beers as well, for those in your group that may not love wine. As I was waiting to board the train, I noticed that the winery has several Tesla chargers which was a great surprise as the winery is a bit of a drive from Nashville. All in all, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit.

For me this is Top Dog of all the wineries I have visited. What a beautiful place! Hospitality was outstanding! Check out the reviews it tells it all. Oh yeah the wine is mighty fine!
