The food was amazing and the staff was so accommodating, they even customized our brunch for us! Can't wait to come back when it's warmer and enjoy the outdoor seating. And we enjoyed the live music they had while we were there!

Bunch is amazing every single weekend with refillable mimosas!! The chicken bacon flat bread is full of flavor! I have tried ALL of the wines and my absolute favorite is the Peach!! Make sure to stop in and ask for a wine tasting for ONLY $5 !!! The slushy are always changing flavors which is great for a frequent visitor! The staff all know how to make KILLER mixed drinks and there’s never been a time where it was to “sweet” or to “strong” !!

Stopped in night before the eclipse. Good variety of wine with good prices. Attentive staff. Good live music. We didn't eat, but the menu looked great. We didn't go outside, but it looks nice and there is an outdoor patio.

I went for Mother’s Day and purchased 2 $20 tickets to build our own terrarium. I had high expectations I guess. I imagined us having a place to sit and being able to take our time talking, sipping wine& enjoying time together while building th...
em. However they took us over to a small table handed us the ornament size bowls and watched us as we threw them together in 5 minutes because we felt very rushed.
I then ordered us some drinks and food & after 35 mins of waiting on our grilled cheeses we asked about it& the order didn’t make it back to the kitchen. I understand mistakes are made and they were fairly busy. They were respectful about the situation and handeled it well
Other positives about the place were the drinks were good and fairly priced. It’s a beautiful setting & even though the food was nothing special it was a good late lunch for my mom and I. I’d go back but wouldn’t risk preordering tickets for an event they throw.

The Warren James Winery is an interesting place, with a nice modern feel and a good vibe to it. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and they have a solid drink selection, with the Cranberry Mule being a standout, though it isn’t served in...
a copper cup which seems like an odd oversight for a winery. If you are going to serve a mule, do it right. Where things fall off, though, is the food. They have a small selection, but the food took quite a long time to come out. All we ordered was appetizers and it took 45 minutes to get our food. Beyond the wait though, everything was under seasoned. We got the Lobster Dip that was described as having cheese and Italian herbs, but there was nary an herb in sight and it was basically just lumps of bland lobster. We also got the Outlaw Flatbread that they basically just threw everything in the kitchen on. There was brisket, chicken, two kinds of onion, bacon, the kitchen sink, and anything else in arms reach. Everything was muddled and you couldn’t pick anything individual item out. Eating the chicken by itself delivered a bland hunk of meat that was warm. The others in our party got a grainy soup and an order of Mac & Cheese bites that only had 5 tiny pieces. Overall the food could be good, as everything was cooked well, but good food requires balance. You can’t just throw everything on anything and expect quantity to equate quality. Furthermore, salt and pepper are your friends. Cozy up with them. Lastly, the service is a bit odd. You order everything at the bar, pick up your order when your buzzer goes off, and bus your own table in a single small trash can that doesn’t accommodate more than one at a time, leading to a line of pseudo bus boys waiting to throw their trash away. It’s very unappealing. Also the staff taking the orders are half friendly and half aloof. When we ordered, the woman behind the counter was flighty, not really paying attention and more focused on everything around her. The place feels like it’d be worth a second chance, but there is a lot of work to do to make this place worth the effort.
