As a florist, I love going to places with flowers and trees. In 2023, I visited Down The Rabbit Hole Wines - Cellar Door & Restaurant twice 😍 in search of a charming French country-style garden. It's lively in February and March, with plenty of seasonal flowers. Enjoy a drink and snacks, listen to music, soak up the sun 😎, and chat – very relaxing. Going in winter gives it a desolate forest feel, but it's cozy around the fireplace. It's less crowded and very peaceful, allowing you to hear the sounds of nature. However, I personally wouldn't recommend the wine tasting, as every wine tasted rather ordinary. The only redeeming feature is the pretty bottle design. 😂
Down The Rabbit Hole Wines - Cellar Door & Restaurant 🍷 Offers 2-course meals for $75 and 3-course meals for $85. Includes a cute mini children's playground. ##
It's really photogenic It's really sunny And the food is really delicious Highly recommend it 📍 Down The Rabbit Hole Wines - Cellar Door & Restaurant 🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙🦙
