The A-frame Winegarden On The Blufftop At Rocheport

I went there last Saturday with 2 friends, hoping to enjoy a relaxing time. It was immediately jarring. As we pulled in to park there was a school bus loading up a bunch of drunk sorority/fraternity kids. I could see them swaying, one fell over, I could see that their eyes were barely steady. Once we got towards the bar/ordering area there was a girl off to the side that had injured herself and she had been refused more drinks only for the boyfriend to get served. It was all in all sad to see an establishment I'd heard such great things about encouraging drunkenness for kids that were barely 21 if that...I didn't see anyone get carded. I would love to have a redo without all the Sigma Tau nonsense.

Was a great experience until needing assistance getting to the Vinyard from the parking lot. Asked for assistance just a simple ride in the golf cart from the worker due to having knee surgery and they couldn't deliver. Loved this place but unfortunately don't see myself returning ?.

This place is awesome. Great views, good wine, light fare and beer! Pro tip: If you are on bikes take the roads from Rocheport, not the suggested Google route along the Katie.

Historically, I have always had positive experiences at the A-Frame. The views, wine and food are all excellent.I recently visited the A-Frame on the afternoon of 9/16/23. I wanted to buy a bottle of wine and I inquired about the Chambourcin Saignée. I mispronounced the name of this wine and the gentleman working the counter was obviously irritated by this but went to look for the wine. When the wine was presented, it was a dark color, and I was looking for more of a lighter color Rose. The male employee then seemed irritated that it wasn 't what I wanted. At this point I felt very unwelcome. I told my friend I don 't think he understood what I was asking . I wanted to know a little bit about the wine so I could make a decision, maybe I should have just bought a glass and tried it with no explanation? It 's apparent I 'm no sommelier. At this point the male employee says, I can 't do this and walked out leaving the other employee by herself with a long line waiting. This female employee was very kind and explained to me that she didn 't know too much about it since it 's not ordered frequently, but she did let me know it was part of their collector 's series.Really disappointing customer service, especially considering this person is at the main counter in the A-Frame. Not a great first impression or first encounter with staff at a business. I had bought a sticker for advertisement in my own local business, but I don’t think I will give the recommendation to go to this establishment if this guy oversees your customer service experience. Still giving 5 stars because I know how important that is as a business owner and this place is great with the exception of this bad seed.

Nice atmosphere. Could use some new picnic tables. Showing quite a bit of age on what they have. Wine is great as always.
