Verona Vineyards & Winery in
Verona (KY)

Everything about this beautiful winery is magical! If you haven’t visited, you’re in for a small piece of paradise. And let’s just talk about the food with the recent arrival of chef David, a Chicago based talent with a list of prestigious awards and impressive career that includes owning and operating his own acclaimed café in the Windy City. The Wagyu Burger will melt in your mouth. It’s one of my favorites. And don’t get me started on the crabcakes! Don’t forget to check out the newly opened Cask and Cactus bourbon and tequila bar upstairs. This intimate Hideaway screams craftsmanship and flavor, with a curated selection of premium bourbons and tequilas. The views from up there are stunning. Definitely should check that out before heading out for the evening.

Showed up to have dinner and the whole place was reserved for a big party. Be sure that you make a reservation ahead of time. Menu seems a little overpriced for you get. Options are very complicated the only simple food they have is on their kids menu. The Mexican street corn I got had barley any corn in it at all.

We showed up about 4pm yesterday. My husband and I drove 2 hours and my parent drove 2 hours to have a birthday dinner for my mom. When we got there, there was a table of 5 people outside, inside completely empty. We were greeted by a not so friendly lady who said “we’re setting up for tonight, so I guess we’ll put you over here.” Why be open for the public if you don’t have the capacity to serve them. We ordered two bottles of wine, several appetizers, each of us ordered food and I ordered a flatbread for my baby. We sat there for over 30 minutes and our waitress came over and said their kitchen printer wasn’t hooked up and they had just started our food. When our food finely came out, they didn’t have my one year old’s pizza. All of us finished our meal and still no pizza, I had to go ask for it and we were told “I didn’t know it didn’t come out”.no one ever came back to our table. I had to go ask for my check, almost $200. And they said my card declined twice, tried someone else’s card and theirs denied. Then we went to the front and I assume the owner started to apologize. I told her nothing she could do or say would make anything better we just wanted to pay and leave. They gave us 25% off, so my check was a little over $132. Which is sitting in pending TWICE on my bank account, hoping one falls off.

My husband and I visited Verona Vineyards two years ago, and that was our first and last visit. Today, I received a credit card notification that their store charged my card a few hours ago. How is that possible? I live in Chicago!

Friends took us there for dinner and the food was outstanding same as the wine and ambience!

We chose to visit Verona Vineyards close to harvest season to enjoy as much of the rustic, relational and robust experience as available. Staying on property in the historic George Vest house allowed us the blessing of waking up and walking the property during the cool mornings. The wines were, of course the highlight, but the bonus addition of the culinary talent of the chef and the super attentive and gracious hospitality team and vineyard hosts made our stay a once in a lifetime experience (for us) that we are hoping to replicate next year. Peg & Dan were focused on providing a stellar guest-centric experience. The other elements that bolstered the ambience were the on-site horses being cared for on property, the bar featuring high-end bourbon and other liquors, the weekend artisan markets and the hands-on harvest activities. Definitely get reservations for weekend dinners, Sunday brunches and enjoy the talented musicians who grace the stage.

Great atmosphere, fantastic drinks, delicious food and truly warm hospitality! This is our new favorite spot, such a hidden gem in NKY. Whether you’re a local resident looking for a relaxed afternoon, or just passing through for some great food, make sure you check out the top floor bourbon/tequila bar and say hello to the horses!

We made Verona Vineyards the center of our vacation and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The outdoor entertainment area is amazing and scenic, the restaurant is delicious and has a great vibe, and the wine is excellent. I would highly recommend booking the historic George Vest Airbnb on the property - beautiful home and a fun stay. The owners are absolutely fantastic. Can't recommend Verona Vineyards enough!

this place is amazing ! the staff is friendly, the sangria was tasty, and the vibe is so laid back and relaxing. they accommodated for me when they didn’t have to which was so so so sweet. pls give this place a try ! me and my boyfriend will b back !

I’ve been to Verona Vineyards twice for dinner in the past three weeks, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots. Nestled in the midst of Boone County’s beautiful, rolling farm country, the setting is absolutely spectacular. The interior is beautiful, informal, and extraordinarily comfortable, and the upstairs bar is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The staff is genuinely warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The menu offers a varied and excellent selection, with a full bar featuring not only their own wines but other fine wines as well. Their bourbon selection is outstanding. The food is expertly prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented—my compliments to the chef for his talent and creativity. If you get the chance, Verona Vineyards is the perfect place to enjoy great food, great people, a stunning location, and even some live music. I highly recommend it

Neat little winery that is not too far off the beaten path. A good variety of drinks available that includes wine, bourbon and beer. The available wine is a mixture of their own and other Kentucky wines. Also some out of state wines. Limited food menu. Friendly staff to help provide details on the wine. Nice atmosphere for their tasting and drinking room.

Verona Vineyards is a place that feels like it's way out in the countryside, but it's just a short drive from the Walton/Verona exit on 75. The atmosphere feels familiar like a family and the food is good (we had Mother's Day brunch). We loved walking outside after brunch to see the horses and donkey! Will definitely be back!

This place is special, excellent food, exceptional staff, unique and cozy environment. Come to this restaurant and vineyard that treats you like family. I highly recommend it

The venue itself is very pretty..but the breakfast wasn't anything spectacular for the price. Maybe I was just expecting more of a homemade taste. The spicy bloody mary was delicious and we are going to try it again when there is live music...hoping the dinner options are a little better.

Just renewed our wedding vows here with a guest party of approximately 42 people. The food, the staff, and the venue was amazing. Dee and Austin made it so easy and enjoyable for our day.

Wow! Wonderful place. Beautiful drive and beautiful farm setting. Everybody was super friendly and Thursday taco night was great. If I'm ever in the areas again this will be my must stop. Atmosphere should have 10 stars

We love this place absolutely awesome! They have cool craft fairs on last Sunday of the month during summer normally has live music. We went to a mystery dinner that was so fun! Even just a brunch on Sunday is awesome with the cool mimosa tray they have its perfect for a group or family. 4-7-24 Brunch menu just keeps getting better!!

Had dinner with a few classmates. All the food was good. Music by Danny Frazier duo. Server needed better introduction on serving.

My GF and I have been here twice now. First time was only drinks and the Mexican street corn, but we recently went for Margarita flights and taco night. Every drink, the tacos, the burrito, street corn and the tequila Old Fashioned were all absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and it's a super cool place. Highly recommend!

Sunday brunch mimosa flight! So beautiful and delicious!

Visited the vineyard on a Sunday before close. The place has a lazy feel and there is a house cat too. The wines are oh-kay, not great. It’s a good drive from Cincinnati to chill for an afternoon and drive back. Wish they were open longer.

Oh man, found an awesome vineyard near CINCINNATI in Verona, Kentucky. A must try is their German inspired wine in a blue bottle. Their dining area is amazing with new items every month. Anything ordered is good. Staff is on point and glad to answer questions about their wine selection. Good for the whole family. I strongly recommend. 👍🏻

Why have I not been to this gem before? Love, love! Met the owner, lovely! Food made fresh and lots of events. Definitely check it out. Check hours first. Too bad I was driving so I didn't have any 🍷😞.

Estate Bistro is simply exceptional. One of the best kept secrets in Northern Kentucky or for that matter the entire Tri-State and Golden Triangle regions. The atmosphere is warm and cozy with the perfect touch of a wine tasting venue. The food is exquisitely matched to the appointments. Service outpaces all its rivals. The touch of live music was not over the top but certainly paramount to the experience. Menu is broad and reasonable. Nice wine list and equal selection in beer. Desserts are phenomenal. Try the Bread Pudding. Definitely a repeat.Highly recommended.

I stopped down for their first Wednesday country line dancing sessions and was impressed. Very friendly staff. They have a good selction of their own wines, guest wines, and a selection of Kentucky bourbon and beer. I had the country boy coffee stout which I enjoyed and a finger of Longrbranch limited edition bourbon which was quite tasty. The highlight of the faire was the bacon wrapped chicken tenders with garlic mashed red potatoes that were buttery delicious, and green beans with bacon. The chicken was simply amazing. It's a great cost atmosphere and definitely worth the trip for any of their weekly events and live music. They even have very friendly guard kitties.

Hidden gem of NKY! Beautiful setting for indoor and outdoor dining. Dining room is very inviting and with live music the ambience was fun. The wine selection is nice, with some fine choices available, some made on site I believe. Food is outstanding! I ordered the Hawg Wings, which are pork shanks with home made cinnamon BBQ sauce, red skin potatoes, and green beans. Absolutely fall-off-the-bone good wings. And the cinnamon bbq sauce is amazing! Must try! Will definitely be going back!

Fun and casual vibe with amazing country views. We had a couple dry reds that were good, but the food was a little underwhelming.
