naked winery south dakota

My husband and I stopped here on our way through the hills on a couples weekend. We had a lot of fun wine and beer tasting! The staff was fun and very attentive. They have a huge selection of wine and beers to taste and the prices are very reasonable. Fun stop!

I read all those bad reviews. I'm surprised, because the things those people warn about were all in the information about this winery. Naked Winery buys its grapes from elsewhere. Truth is, those good grapes cannot be grown in South Dakota. There is a fee for tasting, which is common for all the wineries I've visited. If sexual innuendo offends you, don't go here. The wine names, descriptions and tee shirts are meant to be funny, but I know that not everyone feels that sexual innuendo is funny. Okay, about our experience: my husband and I were promptly greeted by a very friendly female employee behind the bar, who explained that there was a $5 fee for tasting 6 wines and a $3 fee for tasting 4 beers. I chose the wines; my husband chose the beers. I started by telling the employee what kind of wines I like, and we proceeded from there. LIkewise for my husband and the beer. When I wanted to sip some of the beers and he wanted to taste the wines, we were given palate cleansers. Yes, the wines are a bit pricier than similar wines you can find from large producers, but the prices are comparable to any smaller vintner in the Midwest. Supporting these small wineries helps them grow, and with growth comes increased production, increased demand, and a drop in the per-bottle price. We had a good time, and I recommend this place to people who like to sample different wines around the country. Sip, enjoy, buy, drink.

Thank you for stopping and I am glad you enjoyed the wine. We do source all of the grapes from Washington, Oregon and Northern California the reason is for the wine we produce the grapes will not grow In South Dakota. We produce wine in South Dakota and Oregon. We have 4 tasting rooms Hill City , Custer SD and also Hood River and Bend Oregon please stop back at any location and enjoy our wines again.

We only went in for a wine tasting, and we were so glad we did. We tried quite a few between the two of us. They had a good mix of both sweet and dry wines. We decided on a bottle somewhere in the middle of the spectrum to take home. There were two girls helping us, and they were both wonderfully knowledgeable!

Wine was great and so was the beer. Try the Johnson pretzel....you won't be disappointed! We were here a few days ago on a goupon deal and liked so much...we had to come back. Staff is very friendly and accommodating

Naked Winery is, by far, our favorite winery in Hill City. We made it a point to visit every winery out there and Naked was the only one that offered a decent selection of dry red wines. We're from the Chicago area and were surprised to discover that most South Dakota wineries feature sweet wines. Naked Winery was a welcome exception. Kim was a blast to work with. She not only knows her wines, she took time to understand our preferences, making sure we sampled wines we'd like. Fair warning to those easily offended: This is not the sort of establishment to visit if you don't possess a sense of humor. If, however, you do enjoy a little innuendo (their wine descriptions are hilarious, yet accurate) and you don't freak out at bawdy humor, you're going to love this place. We did. And yes, they charge for wine tasting. Five dollars. Seriously worth it. If you've ever visited Napa Valley you know what a deal this is. There are other wineries in Hill City that don't charge but in our opinion they don't provide a true wine tasting experience and they certainly don't offer the wide selection Naked does. If you're in the area, spend the five bucks. You'll be glad you did.

The winery is OK. I stopped at a number of them on my road trip, most of the ones I stopped at didn't charge for wine tasting, but expect to pay for wine tasting. I think the wine is a little over priced, but the names of the wine and the back label are somewhat funny, but not worth the overpriced wine. The customer service was good, but could be improved on.

My recent visit this week was actually my second visit to the Naked winery and it did not dissapoint. I brought my father back to South Dakota for what he calls his last visit to where he grew up and thought he might enjoy a visit to the Naked Winery...Kim and Rod knocked it out of the park. Their laid back atmosphere melded with a passion for their product makes this experience work.If you are a wine snob this might not be your venue, but if you want a fun atmosphere and some of the best wine and beer you could ever hope to find then this is the perfect place for you. While you are there take the time to experience their "O" line of wine simply as good as you will find anywhere. Full disclosure, I do have to admit I enjoy reds so I can not rate their white wines but I would have to assume they are just as good.

It was OK, but not great. I thought the prices were a little high. I did have a Groupon coupon so I stopped, We stopped in on Sunday to take advantage of the coupon that included food, the they did not have a cook on staff that day so in order to take advantage of the coupon, luckily we were in town for another day and was able to stop back in and take advantage of it.

We had a groupon and were excited to do the tastings at this winery as online it sounded great. We had a great server and she was very knowledgeable. I had the beer tasting and my wife the wine tasting. It went well until it came time for our pizza dinner there. The cook burned the first one and then the second. Needless to say we did not eat there as even they gave up.

I stopped in because the place looked like a hoot. (Oh geez, now I sound old for using that phrase.) The wines have naughty names but the varieties are pretty typical - riesling, merlot, chardonnay, etc. The wines are good but not phenomenal; some I liked and some I couldn't even finish the small sample. I bought a couple bottles because, you know, it's WINE. :)The cost is $5 for something like 6 tasting samples. It's the kind of place where you'd buy wine to enjoy back at the cabin or maybe as a funny gift to elicit giggles from friends, but not necessarily good enough to order online if you're out of the area.

Our taste host Kat, was very knowledgeable and personable. We are fairly rigid in our wine preferences, and she was able to suit us with the variety. We ended up with a mixed case of reds and whites.

We were in Sturgis for the 2014 rally and stopped at the Winery/Brewery aginaThis time in addition to the beer tasking we had brats and burgers. (both were great)Worth the stop if you are in town!!

Always enjoy stopping by, Not a great fan of the wine here, but the service and atmosphere is great and I was completely amazed at the beer they make there. Very much worth the stop, I will definitly be back....again!

The Naked Winery and brewery offer Oregon and Washington state produced wines with names that play on sexual innuendos. All of this is in good fun! The wines themselves are quite average, drinkable but not great. The brewery does business under the "Sick 'n' Twisted" name, and has some decent micro-brews.
