This place is absolutely amazing. I have never had wine like this in my life. My husband doesn’t even like wine and he LOVED our visit and we even left with 2 extra bottles of his choice. 100% worth it, Wayne made our visit SO enjoyable. 10/10 will be coming back! PS they have apple cider donuts! Yummy!!

This is the BEST place to bring a young child. We recently spent a week in the Bedford area and brought our daughter to the orchard three times. We picked apples, visited the animals (so much fun), and loved the wine and apple cider donuts. The family that runs the orchard and winery is SO nice -- this was the highlight of our trip for all of us.
