The "Weirdest" wineries you've come across!

[AdrianSmith]

Hello everyone!

I'm on a mission to discover the weirdest wineries out there on this planet... whether it's an obscure mansion... a castle... something that looks like the Fortress of Solitude from Superman... i WANT to know!!

I'm focusing more on the weird architecture.. so it could be super modern or it could be super old... there's got to be some cool stuff out there

Thank you for helping me on this mission!

Sorry, the only wineries I've ever been to were standard brick and mortar (or sheet metal) buildings.

 

[AdrianSmith]

All the more reason for us to find something a little weird for you to go to Tom

I'm sure without a doubt someone will have a story for us!

Weird winery I have been to, not architecturally, but strange. Heinrichuas Winery, near St. James, MO. Run by a little old German. He had his own way to make wine. Mostly good, mostly dry. My wife and I pulled up one February day. It looks like an old run down barn.

Not really weird but very unique, Cave Vineyard ... in an actual cave. really cool.

Duck Pond in Dundee, OR. The Duck Pond you can buy in the store doesn't even compare to the stuff you can buy AT the winery.

Del Dotto in Napa is another weird and wonderful winery. It's got a variety of different types of marble and has a huge cave and a little meat cave. Here are a few pics:

I don't think South Shore winery qualifies as "Weird" more like unique and beautiful. It is the oldest one in Pennsylvania. it is a beautiful stone cave but seems a bit empty.

Thank you Phil, it is still wonderful to look at. For the oldest winery in Pennsylvania I think its pretty darn nice!

For quirkiness, one of my favourites in my neck of the woods is the Sevenhill winery in the Clare Valley. It was established by Jesuit monks in 1851 and remains a monastery as well as a winery ... it's very atmospheric, there are beautiful cellars and ruins of old buildings around the site ... and a crypt full of dead priests!

 

[AdrianSmith]

YES! - Definitely, tell me more!
