GERVASI VINEYARD: MORE THAN WINE
CANTON, OHIO WINERY RESORT TAKES ON SPIRITS
In less than a decade, Gervasi Vineyard has transformed from one family’s dream to a destination for lovers of fine wine and dining experiences. The moment you pass under the arched gateway, you are transported to an Italian village that feels miles away from the Canton, Ohio neighborhood Gervasi calls home.
What began as a small winery and Italian bistro has evolved to a multivenue resort that includes restaurants, event spaces and luxurious overnight accommodations. The latest addition to the property is The Still House, a distillery, coffeehouse, craft cocktail lounge and cigar bar. The swanky new hot spot appeals to a whole new audience for Gervasi, serving coffee by day and libations by night.
Spend an evening at The Still House and choose from more than 120 spirits including an extensive list of bourbons, scotches and tequilas, as well as a broad cocktail menu offering the traditional tried-and-true classics of the prohibition era. High-end cocktails showcase the cutting-edge flavor combinations and techniques of today’s mixologists. Pair your drink of choice with an enticing selection of snacks and small bites.
Adjacent to the lounge is a state-of-the-art distillery that integrates technical innovation and traditionalism to produce spirits rooted in passion, craft and creativity. The facility is designed for an annual capacity of 25,000 bottles and is poised to produce bourbon, whiskey, vodka, gin, brandy, rum and Italian liquors. Public tours of the distillery are available on Sundays.
The Still House accompanies three full-service restaurants on the 55-acre estate. The Bistro—the original restaurant housed in a historic barn— features exceptional Italian cuisine made with only the freshest ingredients. The Crush House Wine Bar & Eatery is a loft-style restaurant offering casual fare for lunch and dinner. It also houses the winer y, where 30+ wines are produced by a team of experts. During summer months, enjoy the beauty of the spring-fed lake as you dine al fresco on The Piazza patio. Each restaurant offers award-winning Gervasi wines from sweet whites to bold, dry reds, local craft beers, craft cocktails and a full bar.
