Beautiful winery location along a river. If the weather is cooler, be aware there is no indoor seating. They have a nice heated... tent outside and some heaters near outdoor tables. Read more

We love Grandfather Vineyards. They have great live music every weekend, the setting is gorgeous with a bold stream running... through and the walkabke vineyards. They have so much seating including adirondacks, covered patio areas, multiple levelseating and tables with umbrellas. The wine is good and the folks that work there are efficient and super friendly andprofessional. It's definitely our favorite winery in the high country. Get there early for best seating or bring your ownchairs. Highly recommend it. Oh and they have a food truck too on weekends. Read more

An afternoon of wine tasting with live music was the highlight of our summer mountains trip. The winery was busy but they had... plenty of room for folks and they were quick to get everyone served so you never got thirsty. The on-site food truck was alsogreat, really enjoyed the chicken salad croissant sandwich and the fried brussel sprouts ???? Read more

Big and beautiful winery with an excellent vibe and lots of wine to choose from. We went with a group of friends and everyone... got a different flight, so we were able to taste a lot. Sadly, there are wines that are not in the flights and the flights arepremade...no customization allowed. My favorite wine was not on the flight, but the cashier let me have a small taste. I likedry reds, and the boulder red was the best one. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I never felt rushed when it was myturn to order and I had questions about the wine. Bottles are reasonably priced at around $25. They also have sparkling wineand really good sangria. Wish they offered the option to get the sangria in a carafe. They sell snacks and cheese boardingredients, but you can also bring your own food. They also have food trucks and live music. There is a beautiful creek towade around in. Great for kids. Pet friendly. No indoor bathrooms, only porta potties... Which kind of kills theambience. Everything is outdoors, but there is plenty of shade to sit under... Sadly that is not the case for waiting inline. Wish they offered tours. Read more

Absolutely loved relaxing by the river with my husband while having lunch from the food truck and enjoying the wine! The... atmosphere is just wonderful being able to sit in the shade while watching & listening to the river gently flowing by with anice glass of wine! I personally like that the location is both family and pet friendly as well. IMO there was a good selectionof wines and just about anyone should be able to find something to match their taste. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars isbecause IMO it would be nice to have an on-site restaurant and a guided tour of the vineyards & winery. Other than that, this isdefinitely one of my favorites and I highly recommend!! Read more
