The Wine Garden

Known For
Relaxed pours in a vintage-inflected space with devoted regulars
The Wine Garden pairs a vintage interior with an instagrammable setting that feels distinctly Highlands — unhurried, a little elevated, and deeply familiar to regulars. It's worth stopping in even if you only stay for one glass.
🕐Best time to visit: October afternoons when the mountain air is crisp
Our Take
Rotating small-batch wines and a staff that actually knows what they're talking about is a combination rarer than it should be in a tourist town. The very limited review count and modest rating make this one worth a curious visit if you're nearby, but it hasn't yet built the track record to rank higher.
