  Comments from a visitor on September 04, 2011: "Grapes can be picked from the bushes of your choice. We went there for the first time. It is a relatively big vineyard. The owner, Felicity Trueblood, planted the very first bushes of grape about 30 years ago. It is very neat and spacious. You don't have to worry about snakes or other creatures, the vinyard is well taken care off. The owner is very nice and helpful. She closes the vinyard betweenfrom 2 pm to 4 pm, but only because it is too hot. She can open it any time, if needed. The owner also has local honey which is delicious! We will sure come back next year to pick her organic super sweet muscadine grapes. The owner also takes reservations."
