I enjoyed my visit to the South River Vineyard. As many have already mentioned, the winery is in an old remodled church. The stained glass windows are pretty, and the setup is fun with the old pews. Staff was attentive, and our samples ended up being free, since we then ordered glasses of wine. There was a variety of wine,... More

You feel like you are overlooking the vineyards in Europe! This is a small church that has been rebuilt in the heart of wine country and then they've added on terraces, it is breathtaking! And the wine is superb!

If you could only choose one winery to go to in Ashtabula County make it this one. Just do it (:

We drive an hour and a half just to get to South River whenever we can find the time to do so. The tasting room is a meticulously restored church that's over a century old. It was saved from demolition, taken apart board by board, then restored in its current location at the winery. Recent additions to the building provide... More

We brought our own picnic for a friends get together, and thoroughly enjoyed our... More

This was our first stop in a little 'tour' of vineyards. I absolutely loved the atmosphere at this winery. An old church was moved and restored and houses a few tables, pews and the tasting bar. The wines were very good as well. I personally highly recommend the Semillon. I loved the patio and view from the pavilion was spectacular.... More

Didn't taste the wine BUT walked the outside seating areas...wonderfully romantic and beautiful. And, they will let you bring your own food and wonder amongst the property to picnic.
