Passing through Newark on my way home from Pennsylvania, I stopped by Buckeye Winery to pick up a couple of bottles of fruit wine and slushie mix. I had visited a couple of months prior after shopping at the Canal Market, a short distance away.
Stepping into the shop, the décor made me feel as though I had been transported to a charming Italian vineyard with a seating area to enjoy a glass of wine. The shop within the winery is extensive with all wine-related items.
The winery makes wines using the finest juices outsourced from premium grape producers around the world. From Chardonnay to Zinfandel and fruit wines in between, Buckeye Winery offers one of the widest selections of Ohio-made wines in the state. (See the list and pricing below from the date of my visit.)
Scanning through nearly fifty wine options, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to purchase a glass or a bottle of wine. When I noticed they offered wine slushies, I couldn’t resist.
Another service Buckeye Winery offers is the ability to make your own wine by booking a session with the winemakers. The result is close to 30 bottles of wine from the grape/fruit juice you select with specialty labels of your choosing.
On Saturday nights, the winery offers free entertainment where you can come together over homemade pizzas and cheese plates. And of course, there’s wine.
