Hillsborough Winery & Brewery

Just outside the small town of Hillsboro, this vineyard offers some broad views of the surrounding countryside. Seems a bit more wine focused, but the beers are featured prominently at the back bar . Small pizza and small bites menu available. Good service.

This place is a winery first, and they added a brewing arm after the fact. The beer is served from a bar separate from a separate, main ordering location just inside the door. It wasn't very busy when we visited, so no one was manning the beer section. Service was friendly but could get a little backed up.

Of the 8 beers they had on tap, we sampled five and they varied in quality, from pretty solid to a bit off. Still, a couple were good enough to grab a variety pack and do further research. We got to enjoy them with a wine flight (the wine was pretty good, in my uneducated opinion) inside the main seating area where there were maybe a dozen tables, most seated six or more. There was also a couple areas outside where one could find seats and look out over the rolling farms in the area.
