The indoor and outdoor dining is fabulous and itโ€™s so close. Walk out your door take a right on the path beside the vineyard and walk up until your thighs are slightly burning and youโ€™re moderately out of breath. (If youโ€™re out of shape like me) hahahahaha ๐Ÿ˜†

Frind winery is the one build by the โ€œplenty of fishโ€ guy. Annieโ€™s place cafe has some of the best pastries in town. There is an outdoor restaurant that has great pizza in the summer months. And itโ€™s a short walk through the vineyard and down the path wi day path to Green Bay. Itโ€™s one of our favourite Sunday walks. Wear your suits. Itโ€™s lake side and you may just want to go for a dip.
