Spending Time Outdoors Can Enhance the Wine-Tasting Experience

Take in the crisp fall weather in Vermilion at Paper Moon Vineyards, a family-owned winery nestled along the coast of Lake Erie. Grab a glass of their crisp, cold hard apple cider, pressed with apples from local orchards, or try a blackberry sangria and take a seat on the outdoor patio. The outdoor fire pit will add a lovely ambiance to your autumn evening.

The Lumberyard Winery & Supply sits along the Maumee River in Napoleon. Sit under their outdoor covered patio next to a fire pit with a glass of a rausch white moscato. Pair it with one of their delicious desserts, including a s’mores-style blend of chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows on a flatbread crust.

Take in the gorgeous sunsets and the gently rolling hills at Na Zdravie Vineyard and Winery in Kingston. Stroll along a pathway with a glass of their seyval blanc, then stop inside to take in the scenic views and enjoy a slice of woodfired pizza or a grilled BLT panini.

As the leaves turn gorgeous autumnal colors, one of the best places to visit is the Wellstone Winery in Freeport. Sit under their open terrace or around their fire pit with a glass of pinot noir.

The Winery at Wolf Creek in Barberton offers many opportunities to spend time outdoors, such as playing a game of cornhole and visiting their friendly goats. Walk down to a lovely waterfront of the Barberton Reservoir with a glass of their chardonnay, or sit at one of their outdoor picnic tables with a glass of semi-sweet white wine traminette.
