Reviews of Lavender Crest Winery (Winery)

Great atmosphere! The waitress was awesome, food was delicious and reasonably priced. Portions are generous. You've got to order a flight, or two if 5 choices aren't enough. Share your flight with a partner and try 10! Love almost every wine they have on the menu. The gift shop area is adorable. Just a great experience for a beginner trying new wines, or an expert! Love Lavender Crest. Is one of my regular stops.

Make sure you allow plenty of time. Food and wine was good but service was very slow. This was unexpected since it was not that busy at lunchtime on a Tuesday.

Drove all over Missouri and Michigan, little did I know there are great wineries in my home state. I really enjoyed the tasting area and the server was very helpful and knowledgeable. Did not eat there but the wines were awesome. Wines from semi-dry to sweet, and prices were fair. Will definitely return.

Amanda Smith

Great, friendly place with good wine.

Mark H Hendricks

You don't visit to fill your belly with cheap food or save a buck on a bottle of booze. It is an experience and a good value as well. A great place to have a relaxing, quiet conversation with friends or someone you love.

Big Pacha

Great place

John Herr

Great environment, beautiful grounds, but prices like Chicago.

Sarah

Great experience here! We stopped by for a wine tasting and lunch. Our server, Melanie, was excellent! Very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Tuscan and the Corkscrew sandwiches, which were both delicious. We tried a couple different wines. Our favorite sweet wines were Foxy and Beaches, and my favorite dry wine was the Colona Red. Nicely decorated and very relaxing atmosphere. We also thought the pricing was very reasonable. We will definitely be back!

Very nice patio for summer or early fall visits. They have an apple cider "wine" that's good, sourced from a local orchard.

It has all been good.

John Snowdon

Good sandwiches. Wine is fine. Worth the stop.

Out in the country a bit. Great looking place, service and lunch selection. Sit outside in the warm months. Average prices, their own on site vineyard and wine to purchase by the bottle. Large room for catered activities.

Gary Webster

Very nice place.

Jill Nelson

Beautiful place, I've been there twice. Food is good, the service has been terrible both times. I won't be back. They are not very attentive and leave everything on the table. Not trained very well.

Was there Sunday December 3rd, attending Quarter Auction. Our waitress was very friendly, very intuitive, & took good care of our table I ordered a sandwich with Swiss turkey and roast beef on wheat. Wonderful wonderful sandwich, great flavor, very Hardy. I was fall with eating just half of it. Love the Raspberry sauce. Will have to have this again.

Wine awesome food delicious

Ashley Washam

I had called 1 month in advance to reserve tables for a day trip stop for a bridal shower/bachelorette party. I was told we wouldn't have a problem and being there for a hour as the winery tasting room is large. We waited almost 25 mins with no service. No one approached us to greet the group of 16 women let alone take our order. I approached the bar asking if we were supposed to be ordering with them instead of having a server and I was told no we cant order thru the bar as they had another party coming in and the bartender was to busy and have to wait for a server to come by. One out of the two waitresses were pleasant. The one was rude and seemed like we were a huge inconvenience for her. It also took about 15 mins to get our Bills and cash out. We were all very excited about stopping at this winery because alot of have never been. This was a huge disappointment and will not be going back.

Jack Stoffers

We went to an event there on Sunday Feb 3. The food was very good and my daughter loved the wine and bought a bottle at the end of the event. Easy to find off the interstate.
