Fabulous, I was lucky enough to book a private tour of the vineyard and a wine tasting. It was fantastic. I had a lovely host who was extremely knowledgeable about the winery and I even got to meet the winemaker Matt. That was quite exciting for me so pleased to be there! Highly recommend booking a private tour or being a wine club member. 🍷
Beautiful property with a very intimate wine tasting. Excellent and very well balanced wines - we didn’t taste anything that we didn’t love. We enjoyed walking the property and feeding the goats as well!
The McKinney property was so special! Our host Kristin was such a pleasure to be around. We loved their wine! Standouts were the Sauvignon Blanc and Napoleons Secret. While we toured the grounds we were accompanied by their sweet dogs, and fed their goats.
Intimate setting. Passionate. Awesome wines.We planned a last-minute trip and Matt accommodated us off hours. By far the best wine tasting of the day. Not only is Matt extremely knowledgeable, but his passion for the trade is exceptional. Part of me wants to keep this secret, but please make the time to visit.
