I always enjoyed visiting wineries and vineyards, and trying some of their wines. I found a lovely winery in Upper Cape, called Cape Cod Winery. They have moved to the current location only a few years ago, where it used to be a farm with a farmhouse. We arrived shortly after they opened, but the small winery was already almost full. Inside the farmhouse was really lovely and cozy. It was a real house rather than a winery or a shop or anything commercial. They were using the kitchen space with cute box window. From review from others, it seems like this is not going to be the "official tasting room" - it is still under construction? Which makes sense, it didn't seem like a proper tasting room.
We got to taste 5 different wines for the tasting ($10), and at the end, each one of us got a wine glass with Cape Cod Winery on it!!! I thought that is a pretty great deal. We started with Cranberry Blush. One of the best thing about this winery for me is that they have sweet fruity wines! This one is a luscious Seyval grape white wine, fermented with organic cranberries from Cape Cod. I have seen cranberry bogs in Cape Cod, and I hear there are thousands of acres of cranberry bogs in the Cape alone. It is a great way to incorporate the local cranberries into the wine. It was smooth and fruity, just the way I liked it, with the beautiful rosy color, and lingering cranberry finish. We also tasted Regatta, Nobska Light White, Merot/Cabernet Franc, and Reel Red.
We ended buying 4 bottles, and my in-laws bought 2 bottles. and we got 5% off. I really enjoyed the tasting here, great wines, friendly owners, at cozy, warm setting. I of course recommended this place to others, and already gave one of the Nobska Light White as a gift, which received high rating. I would definitely go back again for more wonderful wines!
