Silver Crest Cellars
Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Dornfelder. Bring your own food, and walk to the Riverview Park trail.
What to Expect
Silver Crest makes Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Dornfelder from its own vines and other nearby vineyards. You can bring your own food and sit inside, upstairs or out at the picnic tables, and the Riverview Park trail starts a short walk down Bates Road. The winery opened in 2018, and the family behind it has grown grapes since the 1930s.

On These Day Trips
For the Red Wine Lover
Most of the valley pours sweet and fruit wines. These wineries make serious dry reds: Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Dornfelder and a Meritage blend. The day ends with our own estate Cabernet Franc on the lake.

Wineries in Fall Color
Six wineries at their best in October: vineyards to walk, a trail down to the river, a patio in the woods and a fire for when it gets cold. The day ends on the lake at Vincent William.
