"Set on five lovely acres with a casual, fun ambiance, Chaddsford produces sparkling, sweet, and dry wines from familiar European grapes like pinot grigio and cabernet sauvignon as well as French-American hybrids such as chambourcin, noiret, and the floral vignoles; winemaker Gabriel Rubilar crafts easy-drinking, well-made wines while more serious reserve styles are also available. The winery is open seven days a week, offers lawn space for blankets and a shaded picnic area, welcomes walk-ins though weekend table service reservations are recommended, and requires reservations for immersive experiences like the hour-long Barrel Room tasting; fall winery tours are led by head wine educator and manager Rachel Rhan." - Eater
