"The wines were excellent. However, I wish the host had been more engaging, sharing the history of the wines and the story behind the winery's name. We traveled from Arkansas, where winery hosts tend to have more interaction with guests, so this was a bit different from what we’re used to."
We decided to give Millanova Winery a second chance. The first time we visited, there was an elderly man sitting at the bar. We filled out our flight tasting sheet, and about 10 minutes later, he yelled at us to come get our wines. We had to go retrieve the flights ourselves and bring them back. He never asked if we needed anything or offered any assistance. Four months later, we returned, only to be told they were closed. They said this was posted on their website, but it wasn't—instead, it was only on their Facebook page, which we discovered from someone else. Not everyone uses Facebook. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time here; instead, consider Brooks Hill, Wight Meyer, or ForestEdge.
I don't often leave reviews, but I do read them before going to a new winery (new for me). First of all, I read the review about the tasting being served in Dixie cups, among others. I don't know why they were served their tasting that way, but wegot ours in small glasses. The wine was good and the staff was nice. I'm glad I read several reviews and went to judge formyself. their their tasting that way, but that was not how our tasting went. We had fun and it was a beautiful day. They servecheese and crackers, as well as popcorn. If you have questions ask, they will talk to you about their wines
This place feels like a wedding venue that just happens to serve wine. It?s pretty, but I still would not recommend. The wine is just okay and the tastings are served in paper Dixie cups.. gotta say that?s a first. We were then served burnt microwavedpopcorn strait from the bag. Our experience was so strange that we honestly found it comical. The staff was nice enough butdidn?t tell us a single thing about the wine other than to tell us the price of our four Dixie cup tastings. If you?re expectinga traditional tasting with good wine this place is not it.
So far, so good! This was our second visit, and the place is clean and welcoming. It would be great if there were a sidewalk leading to the side patio instead of having to walk through the parking lot and around. Our favorite wine was Maddie Bear. We enjoy it so much that it would be wonderful if they offered shipping to Ohio, since we live five hours away.
