This past summer the Pilafs were excited to hear live music safely spread out in the back of Black Willow Winery. It was our first visit and we decided to return this winter. We were so glad we did!
The inside of Black Willow is cozy and welcoming. It includes a gift shop, a bar area and several places for dining.
Our favorite, however, was the wine and chocolate tasting combo. Both the wines and the chocolates were delicious, and our server was very fun and knew the pairing game. She gave us a great experience.
Our daughter loved the names of the wines and gave us a Greek mythology lesson with each bottle on the list. The labels on the bottles are very creative as well.
Dra was a big fan of the dark raspberry chocolate and our son favored the NY Cheesecake chocolate. Honestly, they were all delicious!
Black Willow gets a Home Run and is the perfect place for couples, dates and fun with friends.
If you are up for continuing your time out together, Lake Ontario is very near and the scenery is breathtaking. The Pilaf family rounded up the night with dinner at Woodcock Brothers Brewery in Wilson. We wrote up this amazing place earlier this winter – see Niagara County Wine Run. https://circlingthebases.com/2021/01/13/niagaracounty-beverage-nightout/
