Top Hat Winery - Independence

Not sure if they're going through a remodel or change of ownership, or what. We stopped in and the two ladies there were VERY friendly, but the dining room section was literally bare. They were out of more than half of their types of barbecue. The wine was... definitely homemade. Some of them were extremely sweet/fruity and at least drinkable; however, many were not. To be honest, I wouldn't do it if I were you. ??‍

Went here this evening and can honestly say we enjoyed ourselves. The wine tasting experience was fun and filled with knowledge of each wine. A few of the wines were so good, I had to buy them. The service was amazing all around. I didn’t get the woman’s name who served us and did our tasting, but she was FANTASTIC!! We also tried the barbecue and we definitely enjoyed it; especially the sauce. Overall this was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back soon! Thank you!

I can't believe I haven't left a review sooner. Missy and Trent are the friendliest! They have unique wines that you won't find anywhere else. We recommend you try them all! Their pitmaster smokes meats low and slowly, imparting a wonderful wood smoke flavor. Plus, the BBQ sauce made with their St. Vincent wine is delicious. Our personal favorite was the pulled pork flatbread.

Stopped tonight, had the pleasure of meeting RONDA, and she was exceptionally amazing! Her and Atley both were the most friendliest couple of people who made us feel right at home, the Foxy Lady was to die for, and the loaded nachos were even better.. Will definitely be a regular from now on!

BBQ was heated up in the microwave and I'm pretty sure that the potato salad was from price chopper. Wine was average. For what we paid, I was pretty disappointed and wouldn't return.
