This was my husband and I first visit but my sister's second visit. We were celebrating my sister's birthday and had an absolute blast. The ladies that run everything were SO AWESOME and gave us some really good recommendations that led to us buying a few bottles. We traveled here from Atlanta and will definitely be back!!🍷🍷🍷
