The Pour House at New Hope Winery is located outside the main town strip, but worth the 10-minute car ride. It's the perfect place to stop for lunch, as it isn't too crowded and the rustic atmosphere make you feel cozy and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and suggested places in town to check out. We ordered wines made at the winery and their food is all locally-sourced. The mango jam on our cheese plate was handmade by the chef. The Pour House has live music regularly, too!{ }(Image: Julie Gallagher)<p></p>
