Reviews of Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits (Winery)

Deanna Nikias

My at the time boyfriend and I visited Boyden Valley in June of 2018. We live in Florida but I was raised in Vermont so we took a trip so he could see where I was raised. Long story short he became my fiancé on that trip, and I will always associate this vineyard with this wonderful memory. Their wine is some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m a serious wine drinker! Their Big Barn Red is my absolute favorite. So this week, a year after our visit, my now husband surprised me and ordered 4 bottles, shipped all the way to Florida! I know for a fact every time we go to visit Vermont this will be a must on our itinerary! Quality wine from the most beautiful state.

Just an excellent experience with a great variety of unique wines. The Cranberry wine is quite unusual. The staff is very friendly and the tour of the compact but modern facilities was very informative, especially for us engineer types.

We had one of the best wine tasting experiences. An excellent place if you have a people friendly dog. We brought our little puppy and they even took care of her! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and an overall fantastic time there! The cheese plate is a must!!

My wife and I took a trip to Boyden while we were on vacation. The staff was so incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We tried 7 or so different wines and then split a cheese plate on the patio outback (which has a beautiful view!). We loved this place!

Accueil chaleureuse services excellent

Jeffrey Mckeon

Did the tasting at the bar and everyone in the party really enjoyed it. My wife is a big fan of the Maple Creme liquor. The glogg was another favorite. The bartender was a bit pushy in buying a cheese platter, but overall it was well worth the time.

Aaron Hayford

Friendly and inviting staff and family owned,a great place to stop for amazing local wines and spirits

Katie Burkhart

Loved everything we tried here. There was a lot of variety (in wine varieties and other things such as cider), and Jamie was a personable and knowledgeable host. Also greatly enjoyed the well done cheese board and chocolate boards with a glass of wine on their patio.

Paige Beriont

Really excellent wine and amazing customer service. Would absolutely give the experience 5 stars. Definitely try their ciders if you get the chance also. Cute patio in the back to enjoy a glass or bottle in gorgeous country setting

Wonderful wine and chocolate combinations. Raquelette cheese and clams for lunch very tasty. There was a good gathering of millennials present.

My husband and I swung into Boyden Valley Winery on a whim while cruising through Vermont. We did the wine tasting- 9 pours for $11. My boo says the ‘wine stop tops’ were annoying and felt the pours were itty bitty. That being said, the last warm wine pour was heavy and delish. We loved all the flavors, especially the cranberry, maple syrup and ofcourse the maple cream. We enjoyed the $20 cheese plate after our tasting, the cheese plate takes a long time to prepare, and one cheese smells a little like cow manure, but it’s worth it!

WHAT A RIP OFF AT YOUR OPEN HOUSE!!! I MEAN REALLY!!! I AM SOOO INSULTED TO THING I SPENT THE TIME TO GO THERE. a LITTLE SUGAR ON SNOW AT THE END OF A FORK, A TINY BIT OF SYRUP JUST TO COVER THE BOTTOM OF A LITTLE PLASTIC CUP. DO YOU THINK YOU WILL GO BROKE??? SO MANY KIDS DISAPPOINTED. NO SHOWING OF HOW MAPLE SYRUP IS MADE, A BIG!!! WASTE OF TIME. THEN WE BOUGHT A PULLED PORK SANDWICH BECAUSE MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT MUST BE GOOD, FOR $10 A PIECE. OH MY GOSH!! DRY ,COLD NO PLACE TO EAT IT, IT JUST WASN'T GOOD. i CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD BOTHER TO GO THERE ESPECIALLY IF THEY WERE THERE LAST YEAR. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO THERE . i CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BAR_B_CUE WILL STAY IN BUSINESS. AWFUL!!AWFUL!!

This is a farm that grows grapes and corn. There is a tasting room on the main floor. You may take drinks to the upstairs or outside patio. You may walk around the property and get up close to the grapes. The tasting is $10 and includes 7 small samples. They have iced wine, maple liquor, hard cider and wine to choose from. They have cheese plates and chocolate plates. We had the chocolate plate for $10 that includes local made chocolates. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful summer weather. The staff was friendly. They have many local items for sale: cheese, maple syrup, wines, etc. this is a fun stop and about 30 minutes from Burlington.

Terrible service .. given a menu and completely ignored. The winery was not busy and there was 2 staff members available. I have visited many wineries and enjoy purchasing wines by the case. I will never recommend this place or go back!

Great wines, great selection. Nice outside sitting area. Great f parties, too!

Dave Smith

We visited Boyden in July 2016. A very friendly staff helped us taste their wines, ciders, etc. There was a wide variety and we had a great time. We chose our favorites & they delivered to us in Texas a couple of weeks later. For us the 2 standout products are : Vermont Ice Hard Cider (every bit as good as the best Normandy cider) and Vermont Ice Red (I never tasted anything quite like this). An all round excellent place - we'll be sure to drop in again next time we are in the area.

All wow

My girlfriend and I visited Smuggler's Notch area this past weekend and stopped by at Boyden Valley Winery. We instantly liked the atmosphere and enjoyed the knowledgeable wine tasting with Tina. After that we sat on the patio and enjoyed each one of our favourite wines from this winery. We loved this place very much. Definitely worth a visit.

Robert Bourque

Lovely tasteing and platter of cheeses

Trisha Watson

The Boyden's have done a fantastic job here. They had a vision and stuck with it. They are producing varied wines and spirits here now and doing an amazing job. I really love the ice wines and ciders, as well as the maple creme liquor and their glogg (spiced red wine served warm). It's also a very welcoming and fun experience to visit the winery. Definitely stop in!

Daniel Levine

A nice winery with friendly staff. We did the wine tasting and the we enjoyed a cheese plater with a nice bottle of rosé on their outdoor terrasse. They make you feel welcome and part of the family a must do in the area

Melissa Hand

Great maple liquor and they ship! Very cute little winery and it’s all made onsite.

Kathryn Kelley

Great winery, two tasting stations with seating upstairs for large groups. Wine and cheese or chocolate platters and warm bread. Well versed staff.

Pat Mulroy

Great service, great cider and wine!

Russ Buchanan

Great owners and staff. A hidden gem. If you are staying at Smuggs, stopping here is a must!!!!

Salil Kulkarni

We stopped by Boyden Valley Winery today HOPING to do some wine tasting. However, when we entered the tasting area we were IGNORED till we left after about 10-15 minutes. the ladies attending the bar were making themselves busy with other customers including those who came after us. They did not even acknowledge our presence even after crossing us 5 to 6 times. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, UNLESS YOU LIKE TO BE JUDGED!!! ESPECIALLY BASED ON HOW YOU LOOK!!!!

Alexander Gilbert

Great wine & great atmosphere!

Spike B

I have attended 2 family wedding receptions at this location in the past year - Oct of 17 and June of 18. Both events were a smashing success! The people did a wonderful job with all the food and alcohol (though I think the spirits were a little pricey). A nice venue for large group events.

George Butler

Very good explanation of the wines and spirits. Very good wine that is made in Vermont.

Michael Leake

While exploring the northern part of my home state, my wife and I found Boyden Valley and we were excited to stop in for a tasting. The grounds are beautiful and inside the tasting room you are able to have a flight of 10 pours from their extensive list of wines, ciders, and distilled products and keep the glasses as a souvenir. We were both very impressed with the knowledge that our guide Amy had with all of the products, and her easy going and welcoming attitude while we spend some time here (she even takes a great

Absolutely love the wine and even more so the staff at the winery. If you're a wine fan I highly recommend making it a point to stop in for a tasting and heading home with a bottle or two.

Nolan Bailey

great wine! smiling staff! and great prices! mountain views all around the winery and located convenient to Burlington and Stowe . i really enjoyed the ciders and apple creme liqueur as well as the big barn red and gloog (a mulled wine that is perfect after a day skiing up at smugglers notch , or before if you ski like i do) the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. i live nearby and go as often as i can, one of my favorite places in the regionn
