A living museum of delicate ecosystems.
Reviewed By bosoxgirl79 - Boston, Massachusetts
I heard about this place and decided to bring my girls for a visit on their first day of summer break. What a special place! We really loved exploring the gardens and the different sculptures and art pieces. Peaceful hiking along the trails - especially nice to be able to hike along the river. My girls really enjoyed the nature center and wanted to stay and keep exploring long after I was ready to go! So glad we made the trip. We ended up buying a membership and signing up the kids for one of their summer art camps - SO happy we did that! The staff was amazing and the girls had such a good time. Already planning for camp again next year!

I thought this place was great. Coming up the drive I immediately became excited as you could see how quaint it was. It is not a huge commercialized place and that is what I liked about it. It is a charming little tasting room where...MoreThanks very much for your kind review! Hope to have you back at our winery soon.

We took a day trip here for my birthday in September with some friends. Great wine and beer selection. Love that they have live music and have food trucks for a bite to eat. The only negative would be that they need more seating especially with shade. We had a great time although it was very Hot!

Beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of Notre Dame University. Itaianate (actually, Italian) frescoes, extraordinary stained glass windows created by an order of French nuns, ornate appointments but not overdone. Elegant. Interesting array of sculptures/paintings/relic. Lots of back stories. Home of our Lady's Chapel, where Notre Dame football players gather for prayer and blessing before every home game.

My husband and I stopped at Lemon Creek while wine touring the area in March 2018. Lemon Creek had a lovely aesthetic appeal to it, and the inside was impressive. It was nicely decorated and very inviting. I wish I could say the same about the staff. They weren't unfriendly, but they lacked that personal service.
The wines were good, but the Spumante was what really stood out! It was fantastic! They had peach and raspberry.
We had a nice stop, but left quickly since there was no conversation between us and our server. We just felt like another bottle purchaser rather than a prime customer.
Definitely a neat stop. We recommend it to others.

What a great value for the movies. Cheap ticket prices. Clean theater. Current movie. Even the popcorn and refreshments are less expensive. All in a quaint town with shopping/restaurants in walking distance. Take a walk along the river walk after your movie.

Renowned for its rich athletic tradition, the university is a beautiful place to visit, with such religious attractions as the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, the park-like setting of its huge stadium and the abundant artwork.

Wonderful campus, great staff to organize the tours (helen) and nice bookstore. A bit too much junk in the bookstore and a bit overpriced, but I guess that's the way it is.

At Gravity, we specialize in Wine Flights! Get Four 1/4 full glasses of wine paired with cheese and crackers, all on a cool tray to take to your seat. Enjoy this Wine Flight with friends inside our expansive tasting room or on our beautiful deck over looking the lake and vineyards!
Reviewed By Samantha T
We have been here several times & absolutely loved this place from the minute we walked in. The greatest thing we loved best was Gravity offered pairings from little cups of chocolates, different cheeses, crackers, etc with your wine choices Whatever went best with your wine NOW you get 2 cheese cubes, 1little cracker & a mini pretzel thin no matter what wine choices you made. They have a great outdoor patio overlooking the vineyards BUT they were hosting a private party so we were not able to go on the patio & enjoy our wine. They do have outdoor seating on the other side in the sun! I don't know why they couldn't build a pavilion for private parties so ALL their customers can enjoy the beauty of the vineyards!
So in my opinion either the owner has decided a great customer experience like before doesn't matter or they decided to go cheaper but the prices stay the same or go up. It's sad that they took a great experience & changed it for the worse.

Good prices on Honeycrisp.... they have the most unusual way of letting you pick without paying, by taking your license until you pay???
