My girl friends and I did a signature tasting and it was amazing! We had Matt as our server, and he was so great! He was knowledgeable not only on the wine we tasted but more importantly about the rhino, Blake, they have on site! 20% of wine bottle purchases go to rhino conservation, and 100% of merchandise purchases go to rhino conservation! Loved this place too much!

The Rhinory is a unique winery with an awesome conservation story behind its founding. You get to see Blake the resident Southern White Rhino while enjoying your favorite glass of wine. I am not a Pinot Noir drinker, though I've drank my fair share, but their Keras Collection South Africa Pinot Noir is absolutely fantastic and instantly became my favorite Pinot Noir! If you buy two bottles, the Rhinory include two Rhinory branded wine glasses to take home. It is a must stop for all wine lovers. We visited during Thanksgiving week 2024 and there was heavy road construction along Hwy 290, so it is easy to miss the entrance.

The Rhinory was a wonderful experience! Blake is adorable, unique experience to be so close to a White Rhino! Our host, Greg, was very knowledgeable and personable. We had an amazing time, we’ll be back for sure!

Made a reservation with this winery. When we walked in we received a welcome taste. Went out to see the Rhino and came back to the bar to grab some wine. Nobody made eye contact with us as they kept helping other guest. Finally was able to flag a server down and say we had a reservation for wine tasting. We were given glasses and sat at a table and told the server would be right with us. We waited another 15 minutes as nobody came to service us before walking out. I mentioned to the same server who sat us that we were leaving and I did not wanted to be charged for this as a card was required to make the reservation. She then goes "oh no, are you sure, I can personally serve your party......"If that was the case then she should have just served us in the first place. This was the same server who avoided making eye contact at the bar.Very disappointing

Visited Rhinory Vineyard Saturday, November 16th and had a lovely time. The staff was kind and attentive (even offered blankets if we needed them). The view was beautiful. “Blake” was fascinating to meet. And, the ambience was perfect!! But, the “cherry on top” was David Bradbury, their sommelier. He took time and visited our table. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the industry was extraordinary!! He is a true gem! Thank you, Rhinory Vineyard for a wonderfully, memorable day!

Beautiful vineyard with a rhino called Blake in the backyard. Lot of space for kids to run around while we sip wine under the huge trees. We visited in end of April and the weather was so pleasant.

Great wine, beautiful venue, excellent service. Saving the rhinos is admirable, but the rhino in the yard is primarily a marketing prop. Nothing wrong with that. .it works! Here's an idea: establish a winery dedicated to saving pre-born babies whose mothers are considering abortion.

Love this place! I wish Grape Creek Vineyards would take a lesson on this teams welcoming as we walked in the door. The lady who takes care of the rhino is amazing! I highly recommend this place. Wine is good!

Really great wine with awesome knowledgeable staff. Blake, the Rhino is so sweet. Their save the Rhino mission is a very nobel and worthy cause. David, the winemaker is one of the best, he is so talented with his craft. This is a must see and experience.

We had so much fun visiting Blake! The guide was wonderful! Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back! Kristy was very helpful and took great care of us answering all of our wine questions! We appreciate it!

Our favorite winery of the day. We booked a little last minute so couldn’t do the tour w Blake (the Rhino). Instead we got a table with Heather inside & it was wonderful. We were still able to go out and see Blake & enjoy the delicious wine. Heather was so knowledgeable about not only the wines but also about Blake & their entire purpose. I was in the restaurant/bar industry for 17 yrs and sadly majority of the time I’m feeling empathic with staff VS being impressed. Not the case! It’s definitely on our go to list now!

When I think of AMAZING customer service and personalized experience, I will now associate that with the Rhinory. The service was just something you don’t get very often anymore! The wine tasting here was our favorite out of all the wineries we visited! Make sure you request Matt, he made our visit so fun and unique!! Mary also, had so much great information to share with us on their Rhino Blake, that we are now Rhino enthusiast and will now be looking in to how to give back to the conservation to the species! Definitely one of the best wineries I have visited to date!! If you are in the are you cannot leave without visiting them!
