Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery


Honestly, we are not great fans of fruit wines, but Hill Top has some interesting flavors and our son is a fan of honey meads. So on the way to DelFosse, we took the windy road from Hwy 151 (behind the Antique Barn) over the bridge, past the B&B, around a corner to the Hill Top and their little tasting room. In the scheme of things, this one is homey and basic. Owned by three sisters, winemaker Kim Allen was there and we tasted about 8 wines - just a splash. Three of us tasted and shared out of two glasses at $2 each glass (not for taking). Their process of adding honey really brings out the fruit flavors. As a very small winery, they run out of the best sellers often, so the elderberry, Little Heeler blueberry and other serious meads were sold out. But their Raspberry and Bluebarry Melomel hit the spot. I forsee them on top of ice cream or angel food cake. Then onward!
