We had an incredible stay at Winvian! We were in the Beaver Cottage which was a rustic but luxurious cabin. We enjoyed the food at Maggie's Tavern, Winvian Farm Restaurant and participated in a stained glass making class and had s'mores after dinner one night. Their spa services are top notch and have couples massages in a room with a fireplace and champagne afterwards. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful with Anthony, Christina, and Rachel being particular standouts. We look forward to returning!

Very sad, because we really enjoyed it. We had a gift certificate, and they could not find it, because "they changed systems." Then I called to make a reservation and was told they were not serving lunch. Then I was asked how many were in my party. I said two, and magically they had a table. I asked for my gift certificates to be credited back since I paid for them during their promotion which gave me 20% off. What good are they if you can't use them and they change their story? I no longer trusted them. Who would? Heather the granddaughter or daughter then said, she did not have to refund me. So sad.

This is tough. Winvian Farm is a lovely place with a high reputation, and we enjoyed our first experience there. Mostly. Sort of mostly. It's difficult to try and pull all of it together, but here's our entry. First, the grounds are very attractive although there was much construction underway during our visit and we had to make a few detours. The interior is likewise attractively rustic and very appealing. So where the staffers we encountered, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. The bar is woody and comfy, the bartenders pretty good at their tasks (though honestly we've had better martinis and Bloody Marys). The dining area upstairs (there's an elevator if you need it) is also attractive with good outside views, and we loved our darkly paneled private room for our group of ten. And then there's the food. For Thanksgiving we got only one choice: a four-course turkey dinner. Some of us would have preferred some dining choices, but ... The food was alright. The butternut squash soup was delicious, but would have been better served hot instead of lukewarm. The fresh ingredients in the salad were delicious, perhaps our favorite of the meal. And disappointingly, the turkey was a bit on the chewy side, and the sausage stuffing just didn't work for us. The servers were friendly but weren't always fully attentive to our requests, and there were rather lengthy delays between servings. Again, the overall experience was good but not great, not five stars great, at least. We came away with mixed feelings. We'd like to return when we have some menu choices. And maybe with a smaller group. But we'll take our time. Winvian is definitely on the expensive side; it's no place for a casual dining visit, at least not on our budget. So, overall, as you can read, we have some mixed feelings about Winvian. But we're hesitant to drawn firm conclusions on the basis of one visit. We're just not sure when that second visit might occur...

Went to Winvian for lunch on a very breezy sunny day, which made it super nice! Ate outside, food was great and had a real nice time! We absolutely enjoyed the dessert which was so nicely presented! :)

This was our first time dining at Winvian Farm and it was wonderful! We went to the Tavern for lunch this past Saturday. The restaurant and the grounds are beautiful! The lunch menu at the Tavern is limited but the selections are very well thought out. We started with the cheese & charcuterie board which was really good. For our main courses we had the Caesar Salad & the Ham and Swiss Panini with Carrot Soup- both were delicious! The cocktails (peach balini & a Gibson Martini) - both were perfectly made. Our server was excellent! My wife had injured her wrist earlier in the day & our server made her a terrific ice pack!! We can't wait to come back for dinner!!

We had two excellent meals here . Having dined here many times before-we expected it to be good. But these meals soared. With produce from the farm, and in the the hands of the very talented Chef Chris Eddy-it is truly special. The wait staff is wonderful too.

The entire staff should be complimented on making our lunch visit a rare pleasure. The attention to detail and friendly interactions made us feel “at home” and welcome. The Chicken Paillard was perfectly executed, moist and flavorful. The gravy was delicious and subtly complimented the grilled chicken and vegetables. The dining venue has an extraordinarily unique history and ambiance. The resort “campus” has individual themed cottages of notable design. We live about 1.5 hours away yet the drive is well worth the experience. Well done! We look forward to returning.

Restaurant in an old restored house that is on a funky country getaway-esk resort I came here with my GF for her birthday, and we got their tasting menu because...well...that is the only thing they offer First thing is first, the place requires you to buzz-in in order for them to open their gate to let you in, and then they valet your car When you first walk in you enter into their bar area, but then they will bring you back into their seating section There are a few different rooms here, each with just 2-3 tables inside. When my GF and I came here there was only one other couple that was in our room with us, which led to some awkward silences and interactions as we could definitely hear each other's conversations. The menu here changes each day, and it is comprised of a bunch of different things that are grown on premises. You get to choose between the 3-and-4 course options, and they have very similar price points. Both options have a similar amount of food, as if you choose the fewer course option your portions are larger and vice-versa They also have an extensive wine and cocktail list. My GF and I opted for the 4-course option, and we tried a variety of cocktails as well. Everything was absolutely amazing! The service here was also incredible, as they waited on us hand-and-foot It is a pricey spot, but I highly recommend for a special occasion!

I spent the day at the spa but was not entirely satisfied with my visit. My facial was incredible and very relaxing, I would highly suggest going for one. The staff was kind and the atmosphere was perfection. Still, I had a massage and a foot reflexology appointment. I was unimpressed with both as the therapist was not able to put any pressure. I asked her to go deeper but realized she was incapable of it. The foot reflexology appointment was incredibly displeasing. I was very disappointed with this procedure. The masseuse didn't use any pressure, all she did was place her finger on my foot repeatedly with no force. I was actually shocked by the experience and felt it was a waste. i would not visit this spa again for these services.

My arancini d Riso were delicious, as good as I remember them in Italy. My Paillard delectable, and the accompanying mushroom , asparagus , artichoke medley ...divine. Eating at Winvian is always a delight, the scenery and ambiance so lovely. My dining partner has a gluten intollerance. Not much was on the menu she could eat, we tried to ask for help, got a 26$ burger patty on a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomatoes. I understand its difficult to substitute but charging the full 26$ for a portion of the meal was unfortunate.
