d & d smith winery

The owners of this cute little winery, Denny and Diane are the nicest people! We live pretty close so we seem to stop by a lot. They have fun activities like the fall festival with vendors and brick oven pizza and a spring mother's day event. Also painting classes for wineglasses and one for canvas.They also do murder mystery nights. Usually there is live music on Saturday nights. It is vey low key and relaxed. There are picnic tables outside by a little river, which is nice when it is warm. Oh, and the wine is great!

We went there on a Friday night, for the $5 Spaghetti/Salad/Bread buffet and to sample some wine. The winery is in a historic old house which has been remodeled. There is a wine tasting bar, where you can sample what you would like to try before you buy a bottle. We sampled several different wines and purchased 2 bottles (Maple City Red Wine & Lake Erie Cabernet Sauvignon) to have with dinner. The food was served buffet style. It was pretty decent for the price. The wine was excellent. We should have gotten some more to take home with us, as we finished the bottles we bought with our meal. Definitely worth checking out for something new to do in Norwalk.
