Palaia Winery And Meadery

So sorry to hear that this winery has closed. I brought a friend there to celebrate her birthday last June and wanted to bring another friend for the same reason last week and found out it had closed. The original friend and group we had loved the place. We tried many different meads and wines, feasted on some wonderful food and enjoyed the musical entertainment . We were so looking forward to coming back. ?

This was a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, the setting with the mountains, scenery and concept were excellent. On the other hand, the execution and service were sub-par. The bartender didn 't acknowledge us for a while at the bar and actually served someone else who came after us first. My husband did a wine tasting and I got a cheese platter, mostly because after seeing the kitchen , I only felt comfortable ordering something they didn 't need to actually make. My husband didn 't love the wine, but that could just be personal preference. Outside, there was a band playing that you could actually hear from inside as well. There was also a food truck serving some of the same things as inside. There was also a few tables selling a few odds and ends. I would say check this place out for the wine and the vibe if you 're in the area, but go elsewhere for food.

Great funky and cozy place. Wine is okay but wine snobs may think otherwise. Food is casual but good and sumptuous. Service is friendly, entertainment good. Beer is crisp and good. Righteous serving of wine, mead, beer. Price is reasonable. We had a big glass of wine, a sizable brew, and two huge prime rib paninis for $34. Meanwhile a group entertained us with some Simon Garfunkel. Ya can't get any better than that. But, alas, the place is closing permanently on December 17. How sad! I'm sure they'll be many disappointed folks. Hopefully some enterprising people can recognize it's potential as a very unique place.

Love this place, good vibes,good wine,great music equals a great dayPrices are respectable and food is just right

Roast Beef Panini, most absolutely 2 sides of Fried Raviolis... The food is top notch. Pitchers of Ithaca IPA for 22. Get the Tie Dye Slushies (Rosé Sangria). $15 a bottle for vino.
