Summer is here, and what better way to spend summer afternoons than at a winery drinking local wine?! Wine made right at the winery! I love the mix of vibes that this winery gave. I got country club mixed with a winery that would be in Napa Valley. This winery had plenty of wine to choose from. Red or white, sweet or dry. I welcomed my summer with the perfect pours of crisp white and red wines, made from fresh grapes grown right on their property, on the perfect breezy afternoon.
Vinoklet Winery has 12 award-winning wines and is the only working winery in Hamilton County. Over the years it has expanded to over 12,000 vines over 30+ acres. Also, what I loved is at 86 years old, Mr. Mukulic, the founder, still gets up and works at the winery every day.
The size of this winery is quite huge. You enter through the restaurant and the vineyards and winery are out back. It is gorgeous. It also over looks a huge pond. Its location and scenery is perfect for weddings or other celebratory events. They have a nice selection of dry and sweet wines to choose from. If you are unsure of what to get, I recommend starting with a tasting. That is what I did. The tasting I did consisted of 12 different wines, white and red, starting with dry and progressing to sweet. You will receive an entire flight of award-winning wines consisting of 12, 1 -oz cups & a souvenir glass for $12.15 plus tax. My favorite was the Strawberry wine, a sweet wine popping with the taste and aroma of fresh strawberries.
Let's take a moment to explore their food options. Their food is American and has a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts. They even offer what they call Grilled to Perfection offered only on Fridays & Saturdays. Grill to Perfection is where guests can come in and select certain menu items and grill their food themselves with a Grill Master; all while enjoying the ambiance of the unique dining room and vineyard while staff caters to their needs. How cool is that?! They also offer different dinner specials on different days of the week. My friend and I began with a cheese and charcuterie board. This is always a good choice paired with wine. You can't go wrong with this. For entrees, we did the Baby Back Ribs (Thursday special) and the Grilled Norwegian Salmon. They were served with Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and a Dinner Roll. Both meals were really good and cooked perfect.
This was a super cute winery and I was glad I visited. I throughly enjoyed their wine and beautiful views. It's perfect for a date night or a night out with the girls. I would certainly come back.
