An Amazing Urban Winery in Mt. Orab, Ohio: Bardwell Winery – NOW CLOSED
Update: Bardwell Winery is now closed.
Located in the lovely, rural town of Mt. Orab, Bardwell Winery is also a small-town eatery with a full menu of comfort food, a welcome addition of craft beers and of course, a wide selection of wines.
Owned by Gayle and Randy Weddle, this Brown County gem is located next to a real estate business, also owned by the Weddles. I had a lovely visit with Gayle sampling a few of Bardwell’s wines and learning about the history of their winery.
My wine tasting began with a sample of their Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, deep and red in color, the wine had an agreeable texture with a smooth finish. This wine “features velvety flavors of black cherry and oak with medium tannins”.
The Pinot Noir smelled of chocolate and was a beautiful deep purple. With a smooth silky texture, it is described as a “full body red exhibiting flavors of ripe cherry and strawberry.”
The Merlot is one of my favorite varietals, and Bardwell’s does not disappoint. I enjoyed the fruity smell of the wine and the eggplant color seemed to be a shade more dense than the Pinot Noir. A smooth wine that would perfectly pair with a medium rare steak.
The Niagara is a local grape that is described as a “semi dry white that is full of grape flavor and aroma.” I noticed that it had a sweet taste at the start yet a pleasant tart finish at the end.
The Apple Wine took me by surprise as I felt as though I was biting into a honey crisp apple. With its unique flavor, I added this wine to my list of bottles I would be taking home with me.
The Strawberry White Merlot is “crisp & tangy with bursts of fresh ripe strawberries”. I could definitely taste the berries as well as a subtle lemonade flavor and I love the pretty pink color of the wine. Another perfect wine for the summer months.
Taking my first drink of the Black Raspberry Merlot, I could smell the robust aroma of black raspberry. The bold fruit-forward flavor of this wine is offset by the subtle flavor of the Merlot.
The Blueberry Pinot Noir is a winning combination with a perfect balance of both fruit and wine.
I have learned through the process of wine tastings that I have a wide range of wines that I enjoy to include dry, semi-dry and semi-sweet reds and whites. The Moscato was one of my favorite wines at Bardwell. It had a perfect sweetness so I purchased a bottle for my sister who loves this varietal of wine.
While sipping on my last sample of wine, I had the opportunity to meet Randy, who gave me an overview of his new brews and explained that he would be introducing a few more flavors in the near future. About a year ago they began brewing their signature craft beers which include the Golden Buggy Lager, Bronco Beer and Orabian Dark.
Bardwell Winery is a hidden gem in the southwest region of Ohio offering a wide selection of wines and craft beer. You can find the winery on their Facebook Page which lists their activities and entertainment schedule. They are open each night until 10 PM and have karaoke the 1st Saturday of each month. Whether it’s beer or wine, Bardwell Winery is the perfect place for date night or a girl’s night out.
Have you had the opportunity to visit Bardwell Winery? I would love to hear about your experience if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below! Many Thanks and wishing you many Happy Travels!
Many thanks to Randy and Gayle Weddle for their hospitality during my visit to Bardwell Winery. Please note that all comments and opinions written in this post are my own.

I was looking for a down home country meal near the bed and breakfast and found a restaurant that serves Goetta! Goetta is a meat-and-grain sausage inspired by the Germans who settled in Cincinnati and the surrounding area (in Pennsylvania they call it scrapple). I ordered the Oldenburg’s Favorite Goetta Breakfast which included two large eggs (over medium), and Oldenburg’s favorite recipe homemade Goetta, home fries and made-from-scratch butter milk biscuits with real butter and strawberry preserves. Yum!
