Round Barn also has a Craft beer barn and makes vodka and bourbon out of grapes. The Beer barn has sample beer you can purchase to taste. Its hard to relax and sample on a weekend because its so crowded with large bus tours.
This winery is awesome! Very organized and great wines. One of few wineries where I liked almost every one. My husband enjoys the reds (dry) and I like the sweets. The barn is a very unusual and cool place. They had music outside and food (we didn't partake of tho a gorgeous day for it, looked like fun). We went upstairs for tasting. Nice store. Even doors of bathroom are rounded! Ceiling upstairs inside barn really cool. We went the 25th so workers dressed in costume and candy was at registers. Our wine pourer was nice, but not overly filled w/info, only slight drawback. They've beers also in other building, but didn't have time. They've another winery (tasting room only) in Union Pier which is pleasant also, but now that I've been here I prefer this! I would def go back when in area. We bought a walnut crème wine (which is more like a liquor) for after dinner on thanksgiving. We also bought apple wine for pre-dinner (thanksgiving) and a separate mulling spice. If you join the Michigan Wines council you get a card that entitles you to 5/10% off many wineries, well worth the one time fee (annual magazine comes too). They do charge for the tastings. I believe it was $10 for 6, so husband/I shared. They give you a token to use at their winery or sister winery, Free Cellars, to get $5 off 3 bottles. Try this winery and you will NOT be disappointed.
Not a bad thing to say about Round Barn. We started at the brewery and sampled six of their beers. LOVED the vacation and Kolsch beers. In the winery we tried the artesia spumante, gewürztraminer, apple (fruit wine - cold and hot with mulling spices), cranberry (fruit wine - cold and with their vodka for a crantini), plum (fruit wine) along with their DiVine Black Walnut Crème liquor. OMG. OMG! You have to get the walnut crème liquor. It's to die for! Loved this place and will be back when we visit MI again in the summer.
We visited on a Friday afternoon after visiting another winery in the area. The grounds is gorgeous along with the old barn. We purchased tasting chips and split them up between the wine room and the brewery. We really enjoyed the experience and ended up taking home a bottle of the Cranberry Wine.....it was amazing!
My wife and I were in town to run the Baroda 13.wine half marathon. We decided to explore the area on the Saturday before our run on Sunday. This was our first stop and we got there as their harvesting festival was beginning. There grape stomping, vineyard tours, delicious food, live music, and great drinks! I loved it because their beer was really good and my wife was able to enjoy the wine. If I had time to only go to one place in Baroda this would be it.
We had a great time with the tasting (thanks Jesika). Beautiful area - more people than the others (at the time we visited)
On the S.W. Michigan wine trail - we're locals but bring visitors / friends several times a year. What's different about this Round Barn is that they have 2 tasting rooms - a Wine and a Beer / Spirits tasting room. Vodka from grapes, rum, ... Also Sangria tasting on weekends along with entertainment. A fun time - you could spend a few hours here.
My husband and I went to Round Barn during our vacation for our anniversary. We were there during the week, so it was less crowded. We enjoyed the wine tastings first. Great selection for every palate. We bought a few different flavors and then headed up to the pub. The atmosphere in the pub was very relaxed and felt like we were just hanging out at the local watering hole. =) The beers were unique, in a good way. Some "micro-brews" we've tried at other places taste cheap, but these had distinct flavors that blended well. Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the experience.
It is always a treat to visit Round Barn! I love their wines, spirits and beer! It is always fun to enjoy the tasting room, even on busy Saturday afternoons.
We took clients on a wine tasting tour of the Southwest Michigan wineries. We organized tastings with three different wineries many weeks in advance due to the fact that we would have about 12 people and we wanted to have a first class experience for our clients. Our first stop was at the Round Barn where we had also arranged to have lunch. When we arrived the staff in the wine tasting room had no idea we were coming and they did nothing to make room for our group at the tasting bar. I eventually asked a group of four if they would be so kind as to move to the end of the bar and they cheerfully accommodated us. We had a "reservation" set up with the Round Barn for weeks. The staff said management was in a meeting and therefore they had no idea what we were talking about. Then the very next thing they did was to quote how much the tasting would cost and asked how we intended to pay. It was embarrassing. To top it off they were absolutely no help what so ever in describing the wines to the group. We were very disappointed. Thankfully, the other two wineries we visited were organized and ready for our group and did a great job of educating us on the various wine selections. Too bad because I have been to the Round Barn on previous occasions and I was hoping for a much better experience.
