Beautiful venue. Not so good wines. Tried 4 different wines and just didn’t like any of them. Literally had to spit out the Sauvignon Blanc. Tried two wine slushes and they were the only thing drinkable. Even with bad wine, you can’t beat the view and they have a full bar. My recommendation is to skip the wines altogether and go straight for a beer or liquor drink then enjoy a beautiful relaxing spot in Put-In-Bay
Stopped in on a very hot day. The place is quiet and relaxing. We ordered a few wine slushies and sat in the AC to enjoy them. Bar service was friendly. We did not stay very long, but enjoyed our stop as we explored more of the island.
My group and I loved the tour/tastings! Alejandro was the best! He definitely made the tour fun! Also, it was really cool to learn a little about the history of the winery and the island. They mostly gave out sweet wines which is perfect for me because that’s the kind of wine I prefer. Surprisingly, I also liked the few dry wines they offered as well. Highly recommend!!
They now serve breakfast. Delicious!!! Everything was fresh and the chorizo was perfect for me. Just the right amount of spice. My husband has sausage biscuit gravy made with chorizo sausage
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were helped by Alejandro who is amazing! We set out front sampling wine looking out at the water! Beautiful setting and good wine. The blackberry was my favorite!
Way Overpriced – Buyers Beware
I purchased a bottle of Caymus Vineyards 50th Anniversary Edition Cabernet Sauvignon (2022) from this store on Sunday, May 25, 2025. They charged me $145 plus tax. To my shock, the exact same bottle is being sold at Sandusky as well as my local Kroger for $79.99.
That’s a huge markup—nearly double the price. I’ve attached some photos of the receipt from this store, along with one from Kroger showing the actual price.
I’m extremely disappointed. This kind of pricing is not just unfair—it feels like you’re taking advantage of customers who trust your business. This is not how you build loyalty. It’s how you lose it.
To anyone considering buying from here: be very cautious and do your price comparisons. No one likes being overcharged.
We went to the Winery while visiting Put in Bay over Labor Day 2024. Their cheese pizza was the best that I've ever eaten. We enjoyed a musician playing guitar and singing. Our daughter Angela sang a song with him, that was very special. Great atmosphere and of course the pizza too.
We stop there on Sunday Labor day weekend celebrating my son n law Birthday.
Weather was perfect and the view from Winery was beautiful. The 2 guys inside serving us were top notch. Can't wait to come back.
The entire staff made our engagement day precious and memorable. From the intimate gazebo reserved table to taking photos of our special day they were awesome. Mary Lou, Jacob and Cameron and the other sweet young lady ...they made us feel like royalty. They will be in our Thank You Prayers daily. From the bottom of our hearts...bless you.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the waterfront. They have several different patio areas to choose from and also offer pizza if you are hungry. They had a few sweet wines we really liked, but our favorite was the blackberry. They also offer wine slushes that were very popular!
Put-In-Bay Winery went above and beyond to make my parent’s 36th anniversary one to remember! We ordered two bottles of wine and paid just as much for shipping to get it here on time. We were sadly disappointed when we only had one bottle shipped to us, especially with it being close to a holiday.
I quickly emailed the winery and let them know and they jumped into overdrive to right their wrong. They express shipped not only the bottle that was missing, but TWO more bottles making a total of FOUR bottles of wine! They also threw in the cutest little ornament and paid for all of it. I am beyond impressed with how they handled this situation, especially with the holiday! So happy to say that my parent’s will be going on their picnic today and surprised with their wine. The same wine they shared after they eloped on the island 36 years ago.
A must visit! Pizza is always fresh and delicious. Great selection of wine with a good mix of sweet and dry. Service has always been quick and kind. The area is so nice too. Very quiet and secluded in the back if you want a peaceful meal, or great views of the water in the front. Always our first stop on a trip to Put in Bay.
Always a favorite with on the island. The chocolate covered strawberries are delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful! Enjoy privacy in the gazebo out back, or join the patio or grassy areas for an enjoyable time watching the golf carts drive by and watching the marina.
Wonderful staff and experience! Would recommend to anyone of all ages! George was our energetic friendly and charismatic tour guide and we loved hearing all the plethora of stories and history he had to share with us about the island and this lovely winery! Cannot wait to go back again :)
Good Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. If you like sweet stuff they sell a chocolate wine. But I recommend you stay with the two whites I mentioned. Outside area is nice to seat, talk and enjoy the wine.
Love this place so much! Went here last summer and can’t wait to go back next summer. The atmosphere is unmatched. So close to downtown yet you would never now it from the mood. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with the wine selection. I had the blackberry wine and the chocolate wine and both were to die for. My girlfriend got the same but she got them as wine slushies which were debatably even better than the glasses of wine. We shared the Pear Gorgonzola pizza and the flavor was superior to any other food you will find on that island. Definitely will be back! Eager to try the wine tasting tour ?
I absolutely loved this place. The wine selection was very good. I ended up buying the chocolate and moscato wine. The chocolate cove strawberries were amazing. Everything was very reasonable. They had a lot of outdoor seating with a bar outside. The staff was vey friendly and knowledgeable about all the wine. The place was just so cozy from in the side to the outside. I highly recommend this as a must to visit.
This is one of my favorite wineries! All of the wines are absolutely delicious! The blackberry and the chocolate are my favorites! I love the property - it has an ample amount of outdoor seating and clean restrooms. The staff are so friendly and efficient and its a bonus that the place is dog friendly!
Pizza was slamming. Don’t know what style it was technically (maybe we can call it a Midwestern style) but it tasted pretty good! The red wines were a little surgery for my liking but the white wines are pretty sharp and clean. View is absolutely amazing on a nice day. They have tables all across the front so you can do so prime people watching too.
This is the only winery to visit on Put-in-Bay.
Huge selection of quality wines that taste much better than the other winery.
They serve bottled beer and have fantastic Pizza!
Bartender was great lady, and I met the owner who was a great guy. Comfortable patio environment and clean restrooms.
If you are a wine drinker, this is the place. The wine at the other place on the island sucks.
My favorite place in Put-in-bay! The patio is so relaxing right there on the water. The wine is good. I love the fact that you can get flights! The pizza was delicious too! Coupon online for a free chocolate covered strawberry.
