Valley Vineyards (Cellar Dweller)

Pretty cool winery/brewery with a rustic vibe and tons outdoor space for seating and playing games. They’re certainly a winery first, but they did seem to care a lot about their beer and put a decent amount of emphasis into it. Everyone working there was extremely nice. The beers themselves weren’t that great, but by no means were horrible. The atmosphere of the place was nice and made it a good place to relax and hang out.

Tap room with souveniers, lots of wine and beer choices (all their own, of course), but I felt that this was some kind of Disney World German garden with some of the artificial character that comes with that territory. Beers are hugely average, all sharing similar malt character, and little innovation. Generous sized flights are available, there were 6 brews on tap, the guys running the taproom were friendly.

Visited here in search of a sampler, and that’s what I got. They run for $1/pour, which is nice. There were 10 taps open, with most of the standards and a few specials and seasonals. The beer is decent. I didn’t try any wine. The place is extremely well-staffed and people are very friendly. There were some food selections but I didn’t get anything. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with wood paneling everywhere. You can’t sit at the bar, but there are a couple rooms with tables. A live band started up as I was leaving. It was actually very crowded. It’s not a convenient location, but I’ll try to return at some point.

over all i would say this place is worth going to, there beer is decent, but probably not worth making a special trip for. (i would however make a special trip for their wine). on fridays an saturdays they have it to where you can buy steaks and you get to cook them and have unlimited sides. thats worth the price tag if you are wanting a fun evening with a few friends
