Point Lookout Vineyards

"Absolutely love the spectacular views, staff is so friendly & helpful in choosing a wine, food is available -we purchased a cheese plate. My husband & I played some card games and really enjoyed the afternoon. 🙂 Point Lookout is pet friendly - on a leash- we don't have a pet-and they even have a cute book exchange stand- I forgot to take a picture."

"I recently visited Point Lookout Vineyards while celebrating my birthday in Hendersonville, and it was such a wonderful experience. I especially enjoyed the Petit Verdot and Cabernet—both were excellent.

The views are absolutely amazing, and I loved that the vineyard is pet-friendly so I could bring my dog along while traveling. It’s such a great spot to relax, sip wine, and take in the peaceful mountain scenery.

I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!"

"I came here for wine tasting this past week. Lovely location with a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, and beautiful views of the rolling hills all around the winery. There is both inside and outside seating. The outside seating includes lounge chairs and tables with chairs. The inside has picnic tables, and plastic tables and a register at one end where they have the wine bottles from which they pour. There is no centralized feeling to the place such as a tasting counter, which I heard other people express disappoint in. There is a nice viewpoint outside that people use for weddings. I really appreciate that they have vegetarian gluten-free pizza (along with the usual regular pizza choices) available. Not the best, but still nice to have something filling on the menu. They also have nuts and chocolate-covered raisins, as well as chocolate truffles available for $3 a piece. I had a wine flight and was disappointed by the fact that they don't have any sort of guided selection of wines. They hand you a paper and tell you to choose 5 wines and one mead like you would choose toppings for a deli sandwich. So, no input or discussion on their wines. The next disappointment was that they served the tastings in shot glasses. Nothing like wine served in shot glasses to break the fun wine experience you were going for. It felt more like going to a college students' house where they were missing the proper stemware.
I was hoping the wine itself would make up the other disappointments. However, I didn't taste anything good enough to buy. Sadly, their reds are acidic and unbalanced and their whites are not worth getting as a full glass. There was no smoothness to their Cabernet or Malbec that you expect in good wine. In all, I'd say skip the wine tasting. Order a single glass so at least you can drink it in a proper wine glass and enjoy the gorgeous views. Don't expect to be wowed by their wines."
