Located near the village of Charm and not far from Millersberg in the Ohio Amish country is Guggisberg Doughty Glen Winery and hotel. The winery is set amongst fields of vineyards and contains some nice views in a secluded area. I visited the Ohio Amish country when I was in Ohio in the middle of December, and I had a drive around to see some snow-covered hills and went to a few places before stopping at the winery.
We had had some snowfall overnight, and the trees looked beautiful in the snow, and the back roads are picturesque when driving through the area.
We stopped at the Guggisberg Doughty Glen Winery. The snow had melted by then, but some parts of the county did not get as much.
I had tastings of some of their wines. These included their dry white "Misty Meiner", the "Laughing Blush", a rose blend, the "White Catawba" (a sweet white wine), a strawberry, and the Concord (a sweet red wine).
My favourite was the White Catawba, so I had a glass of that and enjoyed it in their room with nice views.
I was offered a free cookie on the way out.
I remember visiting this hotel and winery several years ago when they had the cookie tour of the Amish country hotels, but they have not done this event in the past several years.
