Best Fall Fireside — Rocky Point Winery

Embrace the cozy comforts of fall with a perfect afternoon of live music and wine, gathered around a crackling fire at a charming Marblehead, Ohio, winery.

Live music, a fire by your feet and a nice bottle of wine … it’s the recipe for the perfect fall afternoon. Located in Marblehead, Ohio, Rocky Point Winery gets it right with Adirondack chairs grouped around fire pits on the grassy back lawn — and live music on Saturday and Sunday afternoons well into October. Housed in a historic limestone school, the winery has plenty of indoor space if it gets too chilly — and you can always spend the night at the Red Fern Inn’s four roomy suites on the second and third floors of the building. Expand your outing even more by walking across the street to hop the ferry to Kelleys Island.
