The Winery At Aerie's Resort - Grafton

I've eaten here prior to the ski lift. It was good, views are great. The reason I'm giving 2 stars now is that if you are afraid of heights, you cannot eat at the restaurant. If you aren't afraid of heights, you can take the lift but probably not if it looks like it might rain. If it is raining you can take one of six gondolas, although you might be waiting for quite a while. The Gondolas can get very hot inside on warm days and I was told that when it's 90 or above they don't let anyone ride in them. I must assume that the owners invested so much in this structure that that is the reason you can no longer drive up. Apparently, though, if you are in a wheelchair and don't mind heights you can use the gondola to get up to the restaurant.

You have to take the sky lift to the top and bottom, $10 round trip. Very nice views overlooking the Mississippi River. No access for auto's at the top by Aries

Very misleading. It’s a restaurant on top of a mountain that serves wine.(not their own). We ended up leaving and going down the road to a real winery. We were also pushed place to place cause only one building was open and there was no signage.Views are nice though.

Came to this establishment for a bachelorette party currently was shut down to accommodate needs. The owner told me that it was 2 insufficient to meet so he does not have the space or requirements to actually meet actual winery needs. Either he needs to upgrade establishment or he needs to be able to accommodate establishment needs! He refused to help 12. Women for a bachelorette party. 13. Actually, we just asked to have two tables put together. We spent almost $130 coming up to the establishment. We're nearly going to spend more than $500 to drink and eat food and have a good time ride the coaster, but him and his family and his co-workers sit at the table and judge the entire integrity of the guest instead of meeting requirements and needs of them

Beautiful views! Great dining experience! We took my daughter here for her 13th birthday, we couldn’t have been any happier with that decision. The food was amazing!!!! We got the spinach artichoke dip for appetizer. It’s the best I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. My daughter loves salad and she got a Caesar salad. I had an amazing chicken wrap. My husband had the bourbon chicken sandwich. Our server, Mitchell was attentive, polite, just awesome.Thank you for such a nice place to celebrate our different family occasions!Kid-friendliness: It was a great place to have my daughters 13th birthday lunch with our family!
