Before you visit Dragonfly Winery, right on the banks of the Tuscarawas River in Canal Fulton, make a visit to its charming tea room inside a structure dating back to 1814 that, legend has it, once served as the town’s train station. Sip teas with whimsical names like Coconut Oolong and Sugar Plum Fairy while dining on quiche, paninis or baked goods like scones and stuffed croissants.

Upstairs, a bed and breakfast is available for overnight stays. A wide array of events at the tearoom include a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and an American Girl Doll Lunch, while at the winery, a Paint and Pour event is held monthly along with craft workshops and weekend visits from regional musicians.

You can’t miss Breitenbach Wine Cellars located near Sugarcreek. The exterior is vibrantly colored with a rounded tower. Enjoy distinctively different wines made from dandelions, rhubarb and cranberries, while having lunch at its attached café, or pick up Amish cheeses and meats to take home — along with a bottle or two of wine — at the onsite deli.

Down the road, stay overnight at Breitenbach’s 1890 Guest House, a charming old farm house with four bedrooms and a tunnel of trees leading up to it.

On a nearby hilltop, the Toolshed is surrounded by acres of vineyards and is available for private parties and events like Breitenbach’s popular annual Dandelion Festival, held each May. Summertime concerts are offered at the Roadhouse Amphitheater.

To reach Twisted Vines Family Vineyard in the rugged hills of Gallia County, you’ll travel along gravel roads, traversing onelane bridges. But all will be rewarded at your first glimpse of this remarkably beautiful winery, set on a rise above the road at the edge of the forest and overlooking a lovely pond, acres of freshly planted Ohio wildflowers and the vineyard.

Soak in this tranquil setting seated on a partially covered outdoor deck, watching for the many birds residing in this area — everything from hummingbirds to bald eagles. Trails wend their way through the forest with signage pointing out the hundreds of pawpaw and persimmon trees.

History lovers will swoon at first sight of the Headley Inn Winery and Vineyard, occupying a 190-year-old structure built with massive sandstone blocks and situated right alongside the historic National Road outside of Zanesville. Over the centuries, it’s been an inn, a tavern, a stagecoach stop, a five-star restaurant and now has taken on new life as a winery when the current owners opened shop in May 2022.

Inside, three fireplaces are surrounded by antique tables and leather couches, and the walls are adorned with historic paintings and photos. Outside, the inviting grounds have a covered patio and plentiful seating, including swings and rocking chairs split by a babbling brook.

Stay overnight here either in an upstairs suite above the tasting room or in a log cabin out back that dates to 1777, now with modern amenities like a kitchen, washer and dryer.

The acres and acres of blueberry bushes surrounding 1285 Winery outside of Mansfield give a clue to its former life. When it was known only as The Blueberry Patch, it was exclusively a blueberry farm with a gift shop, cafe and greenhouse. But in 2014, the family-owned business decided to branch into winemaking, building a larger tasting room and restaurant that opened in 2021. The gift shop sells baked goods as well as jewelry and clothing. Relax in their spacious area as big as a country barn where you can sip the wines produced onsite (including blueberry and other fruit wines) as well as a diverse menu of food items that include grinders, burgers and pizza along with dinner specials ranging
