Augusta Winery

Cute winery in a charming little down! The tasting room felt rather small, but the outdoor patio (up the hill from the tasting area) was spacious and enjoyable! It really won me over.
Visit the tasting room to try their wines. I think they offered us five complimentary tastes. There is a tasting menu, but they offered us a few things not listed. There were only a couple of people working and several groups so we tasted only a couple until we found one we could drink outside. I enjoyed all the wines I tasted, though I would’ve preferred more control over the tasting process. After telling them I liked semi-​dry whites, she sort of skipped around their offerings pouring at her discretion what I might like. I did enjoy all the wines, and I’m not sure if this is «standard» or because we had mentioned it was our first time to their winery. If you want time to chat with them and get to know what you’re drinking, go at a less busy time. Otherwise find a wine you like and head out to their wine garden!
They were all out of pizzas the day we visited, but they do have a small selection of meats, cheeses, and crackers. They have some plastic utensils available but splurge for the $ 1 metal knife if you’re getting meats and cheeses that need cutting.
We really loved the Sauvignon Blanc we had, but not a single wine we tasted was unsatisfactory. We will definitely be going back for more wine and to enjoy their lovely location!

The lafluer savage is much lighter than previous editions, a lovely bottle to have on their upper patio

Their wines are definitely good, but this place is only just OK. They have a huge deck area to drink wine and live music (which has been pretty weird at times). They also have a separate, cozy tasting room down the hill. I believe you can order food here, but I’ve never done so. The bathrooms were pretty clean, which I also really appreciated. The other good things about this winery are that they have a variety of wines and their tasting is free. Yesterday when we visited, they even had a hot apple spiced drink as part of their tasting. There are a few reasons I can’t give them four stars despite the fact that they have tons of great wines. The big reason being that (and maybe it was because it was a busy weekend) they no longer let you pick your tastings. When I was here last year, I was able to pick whichever wines I wanted to try. This year, they only let you try from a preselected list. This is such a shame because they have so many good wines (from dry to sweet to ice). One of the tasters let us deviate at one point for a wine, but then was super nervous to let us try any others because her boss was there. I feel this will only hurt the winery going forward since some of their best wines weren’t even on the tasting list. As a final note, they lack the view that some of the other wineries do, but there isn’t much they can do about about that.

Stopped in for wine tasting and ended up purchasing a bottle. The Alluvium is good, I’m sure will be even better chilled. The blush was good as well. The woman that greeted us and gave us tastings was very friendly and informative. The wine garden just at the top of the hill looked like a lot of fun.

While visiting friends, we joined them for a visit to vineyards and wineries in the area and paused at the Augusta Winery for a tasting and a few purchases. I’m told their wines have done well in competition, and I’m not qualified to judge; I know very little about wines, but I know what I enjoy, what tastes pleasing to me, and I enjoyed some of what I’d tasted here. This was a pleasant midweek visit on a hot August day; on a milder day I would have preferred sitting outdoors and appreciating my choices. I’d unhesitatingly recommend this winery to others.

Loved visiting Augusta winery! Tasted all the wines in the tasting room with a group of friends and bought a very reasonable bottle of blush wine. Very good. Then sat in the wine garden with the wine and some snacks and enjoyed awesome live music on a Saturday!

This is definitely one of the smallest and least scenic wineries in the area but it’s quaint and welcoming atmosphere make up for it. All of the staff was super nice and helpful. We enjoyed our free wine tastings in the lower room and then went up the hill to buy a bottle of wine and listen to live music. The live music was very enjoyable and their patio is beautiful. I will for sure be going back to this gem :)

Had a wonderful Mother’s Day at Augusta Winery.
Mary, who worked in the wine and beer garden area, was an absolute joy and did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful time.
They Seyval Blanc in the blue bottle was delicious and refreshing on a beautiful, sunny, afternoon an Steve Leslie on acoustic guitar topped off a perfect day.
I will be back…

Tony and Cindy K. take great care of their people and their customers! The new patio at the top of High St. is amazing! The grapevines are starting to grow over the top of the pergola creating this beautiful shade and adding to the wine country ambiance. Definitely try the ruby and tawny ports… you won’t be disappointed!

How have I not reviewed Augusta Winery yet? I’ve been there at least six or seven times.
I love going there for a tasting. Between Sugar Creek, Montelle, and Augusta Winery, sweet, fruity wines are adequately covered on the Weinstrasse. They have dry wines too. The wines are pretty decently priced, as at Montelle, which, I am told, has the same ownership.
There isn’t a scenic view at Augusta as at the other wineries in the area, but you can walk up the hill a little and sit in Augusta Brewery’s outdoor seating area, and sometimes there is live music. You can bring your own picnic lunch.
The staff are always incredibly friendly and never pressure you to purchase. They often have special concoctions, such as a warm apple pie.
Bottom line is that Augusta Winery is a great place to taste great wines and isn’t to be missed on the Weinstrasse.

Decent wines and very much on the cheap. Not much to hang out at, not a lot of scenery, but a decent stop if you are on a trip out here. Bear in mind that cell phone service can be highly dubious.

Our first winery of the day and I loved it! I think we tried every single wine that they have and didn’t have a single bad try! We ended up buying a bottle of their Chardonel and sitting on the patio drinking and watching the world go by. I loved that they were located in town! Very quaint.

Definitely the least picturesque of the area’s wineries, as it is located in tiny little shop in the middle of town. However, the wines weren’t bad and the staff was very friendly. They did have an outdoor drinking area up the street with live music, but due to the extreme heat there was really nobody out there listening.
The main thing I remember here was that the lady doing our tasting promised me their port would be the first that I would actually enjoy… and she was right. It was great. That was a pleasant surprise.

How have I missed reviewing Augusta Winery?!?
This winery is really a sweet wine drinker’s little gem. They are always very friendly and have a great selection of wines. When traveling with friends, we usually lose the boys to the brewery, but that’s just fine by us. On nice days, we’re happy to buy a bottle… or four… and sit on their porch. There is a beer/​wine garden just up the hill, but we’ve honestly never indulged.
Try the ice wine!
