We went for brunch today and it was fantastic! The location is beautiful, outdoors is super comfortable and the service is impeccable. It is the Locus team that makes it very special, always friendly, very knowledgeable and the food and wine is amazing. We ordered almost everything on the menu and shared it. It was sooooooo good 😁👍. Thank you for such a fabulous time.

LOVE this winery! The location is super quaint, inviting and cozy-great for a date night or evening with friends. The wines are really delicious with some nice aged bottles; those that pour are really knowledgable and fun! I would highly recommend doing the "bartender's roulette" for your tasting. I don't usually drink whites and it was fun to try them in the tasting and was blown away how sensational they were! They have small plates perfect for sharing and everything is VERY REASONABLY priced--TIP your servers well!! We've been twice and have had such a warm experience each time.

I met up with my sisters at one of Locus' outdoor tables and we had an awesome time! Chris, our wait person, was very knowledgeable and attentive. We got the Meze platter with pea hummous (among other delish things) and it also comes with these small square pastries---all warmed and tasty! There was some parks activation going on (live music?) just north of us across S. Main St so really nice ambiance. Great wine, great vibes and great company! :)

We usually love this place- we are members and usually get fabulous service. We know they are understaffed - so this makes it tough, but felt disappointed to bring new people to the place and then have to wait nearly 30 minutes for a small plate of bites to come out. And to not be asked if we wanted more wine - especially after seeing both owners there when we first arrived (and it was so busy on a game day). Try it on a non-game day for sure.

The wine, food & service are always outstanding here. Ton, Harry & Rich are the sweetest, busy but personable. I brought my girl friends here for a ladies brunch and they loved it so much, our 2hr brunch turned into 5hrs with wine purchases. The wine here is delicious!

This is my favorite tasting room! The food is exceptional- Ton consistently creates such extraordinary food to pair with the wine. I always buy more wine than I plan to get, and I love supporting this local winery. I love the open space and ambience, the service is amazing, and it's my favorite spot to bring friends because it's not just "happy hour" or "brunch"- it's an experience!
