Service was amazing. Amy was an absolute sweetheart. Table setting was excellent. To actually be sitting in the winery to enjoy your wine and food was a really cool experience! Food was nothing short of incredible. The chef, Phil, came out and took the time to explain what sauce complimented what and why he did what he did. Followed Phil from another restaurant and he never fails to amaze us. Thank you LaBelle winery & thank you Phil for another unforgettable experience!

We visited here for a Valentine’s Day wine tasting and had a very enjoyable time! It’s a winery-bistro-shop-venue in one and offers something for everyone. We were only there for a tasting, but the bistro looked to be very popular(you can order a flight there but not a full tasting). Food smelled and looked good but we can’t speak to the taste! For the wine tasting, you can choose to taste 5 for $ 8, or 10 for $ 13. We opted for the ten and you get to choose from a huge list of wines. I would say the bend here is more geared towards dry wines and whites, but there are also a handful of reds, fruit flavored wines, and dessert wines. Our bartender truly made the experience for us – he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly wanted to create an enjoyable experience for us. Some of the wines I did not like, but my friend absolutely loved the majority he tried so I think it’s a personal preference. I’d recommend the blueberry, apple cranberry, and the seyval blanc. They also have recipe cards for cool drinks you can make with their wines at the tasting bar! We also checked out the event space — looks like a beautiful place for a private event or wedding! They offer tours of their winery too, but we opted to pass on this when we visited. Lastly, there’s a great shop area where you can purchase wine, wine accessories, and lots of cooking tools and accessories. They offer monthly cooking classes here for $ 25 — sound like they would be worth checking out based on the description given to us by staff! Overall, a fun place to enjoy an afternoon!

Checked it for weekday late lunch. Place was empty. fine whatever, weird time. Was more to finally check it out, expectations low, knowing the wines are average at best(we had a bottle as a gift). Decided to skip wine and just do afternoon snacks. The apps and small plates are inviting and hit the table fairly quick. Very tasty. Was handed 2 plates. one was not washed. Disgusting. We were halfway through our food til our server returned. a little on the inattentive to nonexistent. The salads hit. Realizing the prices for these was probably the most you would want to pay for a salad, these disappointed. Their take on a caprese should probably wait til tomatoes are in season. I went for it as they mentioned a tomato confit. the salad was smallish and it had halves/quarters of plum tomatoes lacking the confit, but more of a concasse and smashed looking. One bite confirmed that they lacked any seasoning, any low oven. just hit with some boiling water to peel and smashed. Off putting and weird presentation. this certainly isn’t Thomas Keller’s version The mozzarella cheese was dry and shredded. not moist. think a yellow wad of gum, that tasted like butter. Not that butter is a problem in most if any dishes, just not HERE. The winter pear salad was more of the same. Boring and overpriced with a scant amount of cheese. To each their own I guess. but buying into this«pseudo» winery is a matter of taste I suppose. but execution errors and the surprisingly dirty surroundings(floors, walls, waitress station, cobwebs, flatware and dirty plates) shows the front end needs to figure it out. Uncomfortable and echoey leaves the atmosphere at a great big nil and the tables tilting unexpectedly and often shows the lack of attention to detail(and almost sent our drinks into our laps twice)

This place is outstanding! I never write reviews but we had such a great experience that I just have to. The part of our visit that made this place stand out had nothing to do with wine. It was the people. Everyone was so sincere in making sure we were doing well and genuinely asking how we were. We actually spent a good amount of time chatting with the owner and by the end it felt like we had made a new friend. They really put their heart and soul into this place and it shows. We went for an afternoon date. First we took the guided tour(offered hourly) of the grounds and facility followed by a late lunch. The tour guide was very nice and informative, taking time to answer everyone’s questions. Then we had a meal of appetizers and each did the recommended flight tasting(he did red, I did white and then we shared). Our waitress was wonderful! Favorite apps were the tater tots, duck wings and tacos. We finished our meal with the molten lava cake and the dolce dessert wine. Perfection! We loved that so much we bought a bottle. We also had a few other staff members stop by our table to chat. I will be back for sure. Can’t wait!

Went there last night for a farewell for a friend with a group of friends. We were informed that there would be a wine tasting that we would be able to partake in if you arrived before 5, part of our group arrived there before 5 and was declined the opportunity it was apparently too late. We got seated for dinner and our waitress seemed beyond overwhelmed, we had to ask what the specials were and for her to elaborate. We had to grab the attention of other waitstaff to help us with our basic needs, ex: water refills, napkins . We ordered mussels as one of our appetizers, when it finally arrived the odor was beyond rancid, the mussels were bad. Once again we had to grab another waiter to remove them from our table. No apologies were given that they were bad just apologized because we didn’t like it. Yes we do not like spoiled food or getting food poisoning. One of the girls actually ate a single mussel and did indeed get sick overnight. The owner was walking around greeting guests he stopped to talk to a few tables except for ours. Totally ignored us never even acknowledged that we were constantly looking for our server. At one point he actually sat down with another table enjoyed a beer and the other guests. All the while we waited for drinks, food and service to no avail. What an extreme disappointment. We were looking to send out friend off with a beautiful dinner and great service instead we got, poor service, and spoiled food. To be fair our waitress was very nice and they did comp us for the app that we «did not like». One of the girls with our group was even looking into this place for a wedding venue, without a shadow of a doubt she will be looking at other options. The restaurant and grounds are very beautiful I wish the service and food would match up.

I attended a wedding here in June. The setting was gorgeous, the décor very elegant and tasteful, the wine and wine cocktails were fantastic, and the food was SO good! I was excited when I learned my office was having our Christmas party here which was the other night. Again we left very happy. Great atmosphere, great food, and great wine. We will definitely be back for dinner and drinks soon.

I just went here the other day. it was fall time and what better thing to do here than apple picking and wine tasting. Yes. you read right. WINETASTING. This place is cute. in fact, there was a wedding going on while we were there. So 8 girls piled into the bar area to wine taste in the last 45 minutes before they closed. They close promptly at 5 pm. That’s a bummer. I really wish they just mandated they allowed you to just finish if you start before 5 pm because they transform into a restaurant anyways. We tried 10 wines for $ 13. Good deal if you have gone wine tasting in Napa(which is always crazy expensive). Unfortunately, very few reds and even more sad. they aren’t that good. I didn’t really like any of them but I have a preference for wines from Argentina, Paso Robles, Chile, France, etc. I don’t really like most Napa wines. so please keep that in mind. We had dinner here. they couldn’t accommodate us in one table over the phone but managed to do so when we were there. We ordered a few things but for me, what stood out was: — Duck wings: Oh so tender. I thought they were good — Tator Tots: They are in cube form so they look more like tofu. but I thought they were good. In fact they were really good and all gobbled up. — Lamb shank: Yum… and the vegetables were cooked very well — Salad: That was the most disappointing. for $ 13 it wasn’t very good Service kind of lagged for us even though there aren’t that many tables. It took almost 15 minutes for our second order of drinks. I would recommend eating here but probably not drinking. Ample parking.

Went for lunch on Columbus Day. Was seated, the waitress came over right away, but we were not ready to order. Unfortunately, she never came back. Waited 15 minutes, and then left. Wouldn’t go back.

Great place to bring everyone. We came over to meet with an old College friend and her spouse. Ate outside savoring both the food and the truly awesome weather. Arriving here we were met with an extremely friendly Maitre d’ who sat us on the spot as we had made reservations. It pays to come on the early side of dinner if the weather is nice and one wants to have outside seats, as forty five minutes after we arrived the outside seating area was full. Besides, we got to sit near to the firepit so when the weather turned cooler once the sun set, we were nice and toasty. We started the faire with their succulent list of appetizers, the fig and prosciutto, their mushroom crostini and the Artisan Cheese Slates. Delicious. Copious amounts of their Red Alchemy wine accompanied the dishes. Our main courses were the New York Strip and the Zucchini and squash gnocchi that came with a delicate wine sauce. Dessert was Crème Brûlée. Everything was delicious! Besides the delicious wines, the great food and the service, we noticed the space between the tables both inside and outside. So often restaurants crowd their tables so tight that diners can be interrupted by waiters serving other and conversation is virtually impossible without literally blaring out your information to the entire restaurant. There was a good separation between the tables at Labelle, providing for intimate conversation. That’s a definite plus. Overall we had a magnificent evening.

We went here on a Saturday afternoon for a tour and lunch. Beautiful location, great wine, food was excellent and reasonably priced. The tater tots were so delicious! A great day trip!

The location could be a little better, but that isn’t too much of an issue. The wine here is delicious and unique. Something interesting these guys do is they offer cards out that have recipes for food and drinks that include their wines. They are pretty solid cards with ingredients and instructions. The staff are very friendly and they offer tours daily. My only beef with them is they don’t give you back your money from a tasting even if you buy wine.

We had the pleasure of attending a small wedding here. I had actually looked at it for my own wedding and was treated wonderfully(we didn’t go with them to get married at just due to wanting to serve my husbands home brew beer at our wedding, so we ended up getting married at a private residence) but had stayed for lunch and was impressed then, with the food and service. The wedding experience was wonderful. Beautiful setting, professional, courteous, and friendly staff, and GREAT food! Everything from the cheese platter(lots of cool yummy cheeses, nuts, dried fruit, etc) to our salad(great Caesar salad!) and the sirloin… and the wine! Lots of choices for every wine palette. Look forward to coming back.

We stopped here for dinner during the week — it was a nice evening and we sat outside. We’ve been here before to try the wine and wanted to give the food a taste. The food was ok to good. It took a while for a sever to bring us some water and menus even though there seemed to be plenty of wait staff around. There must have been a problem in the kitchen that evening because all of the food took an extremely long time to come out, over 30 minutes for an appetizer(and they weren’t packed either). We were later informed that there was a ‘issue’ with my order so it would take a while longer to arrive(I ordered a burger… nothing special). They gave us a complimentary drink to tide us over. When the burger finally did arrive it was overcooked but there was no way I was waiting another hour to get a replacement so I just ate it. I noticed at another table their order too was messed up and sent back. Not sure f the problem is with the wait staff or in the kitchen, perhaps both. Nice location & facility with lots of unrealized potential.

Pretty place with a lot of fruit-wines. - I have driven by here before, so I stopped by last night to see if they had anything worth buying. It’s a cute place. I would definitely consider it for booking an event. Grape vines all around, nice tasting room and restaurant, patio out back. It’s very quaint and cute. Nicely decorated. - They have a stand-up bar for tasting. You can try 5 wines for $ 8 or 10 wines for $ 13. They have 25+ wines for you to choose from. - I asked where they got their grapes from; the finger-lakes region of New York is what I was told by the curt lady behind the bar. She wasn’t super congenial. Almost like they didn’t care if I liked their wines or not. Maybe it was a long day. It looked dead in there to me. Anyhow, I learned that they ship in the grapes from elsewhere and process them here. The vineyards you see outside are for show; for now. They’ve been growing for 4 years and next year(2016) they have enough to use to make a decent amount of wine. - But don’t hold your breath. The wines I sampled were, OK. Not great, but I’ve certainly had far better. They’re all cheap — under $ 15 a bottle. Most of their«wines» are made with apples or pears(???) or berries. I hate that stuff. You won’t find any big cabs or nice syrahs here. It’s all mixed blends, most of which have fruit in them. Yeah grapes are a fruit — you know what I mean! OTHER fruit. - So, it’s a nice-looking place, and I’d go back to try the food. Definitely a cute place for an event. I’m just not sold on those wines.

I’m originally from the area so I was very curious to see an winery open in the area. Unlike most of the reviewers, our service was pretty good. We also ordered the cheese and charcuterie, which was good, but not unusually so. The wine, however, was truly the worst that I have ever tasted. It was so terrible that I’m in awe. I went into the experience expecting guilty pleasure wines, but this was the stuff that nightmares are made of. One caveat is that we tried some of their more unusual sounding fruit wines, but we did have two flights(six different varieties). My two friends and I agreed that it was basically undrinkable. It was so bad that I simply don’t have the vocabulary necessary to describe how the havoc that it wrought upon my palette.

Stopped for lunch on our way to the shore; what a lovely day to sit outdoors and sample wines while looking out at grapevines. The lobster soup was amazing — lots of beautiful vegetable and herb undertones. And gluten-free, yay for me. We loved our cheese slate, especially the bucheron which is not easy to find around here. The strawberry jam was like my mother and grandmother made — so flavorful. The wines: we sampled an apple wine, a pear, and a basic white — all delicious and none too sweet. This is a place to savor everything — you can feel the intent of the winemaker, the chef and the gardener in every sip and taste. Loved our cocktails, too — so fresh and, again, full of complex flavors and not too sweet. These people really get it. Look forward to returning for a tour. My wife is a gardener and will enjoy seeing the vineyard and gardens.

My father had his 85th birthday party here and he and his wife were very pleased. I will say they bent over backwards to give my father any little treat they could to make it special. The owner Amy came in to make sure all was going well and chatted my dad up… super nice. The food buffet included 2 kinds of salad — Mixed green and spinach with goat cheese(my preference), rice, a delicious bread that was almost a cross of corn bread and regular bread with cheese in it, salmon and chicken. I live in the food mecca of San Francisco, so I was not expecting much here, and was pleasantly surprised. The room they rented was pretty with a great rustic chandelier, the bathrooms were clean and pretty.

We made a reservation and when we arrived the table was not set up. The table was then set up overlooking a parking lot even though tables could’ve been set up overlooking the vineyards. Only after asking for a table umbrella was one brought. I’m not quite sure the point of a reservation at this place if it’s not set up and then placed at the least favorable location. Server was slightly socially awkward. Doesn’t seem to have nailed it quite yet. He came off more as a sales man for the winery as opposed to a server. He eventually did manage a sale of 1 bottle of $ 25 New Hampshire sparkling wine which was ok. The food was good. I enjoyed the french fries. And it is one of the better views in the area so still a fun place to visit in this respect. The atmosphere is pretty casual. I feel like they could do so much more with the space. Ps– I enjoyed rolling down the hill.
