Jolo is not just a winery for getting some of the best pours of reds and whites in the entire state – it is also rated as one of the top 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in the entire country! This highly rated winery and restaurant is a huge hit in the Winston-Salem area for tourists and locals alike! Jolo Winery & Vineyards features pristine views over the nearby Pilot Mountains, local and fresh food, and a low-key atmosphere.
Restaurant
Jolo offers an extensive food menu that pairs perfectly with glasses of wine or a cup of coffee earlier in the morning for a mid-morning brunch. If you are coming here for pairing with wine, you can’t go wrong with some of the fresh appetizers and salads, like the bacon and gruyere bites, tuna carpaccio with parmesan and capers, or the goat cheese provencal with olive oil, tomato, caper, onion, garlic, and basil.
For those who want a heartier pasta dish to pair with their red wine, we love the smoked salmon pasta with creamy dill sauce, mushrooms, and asparagus. If you would rather have a dish with meat or a light fish, the Beer Glazed Momma’s Meatloaf with pommes puree is a big hit, or the spring risotto with mushroom, asparagus, peas, and filet is wonderful for the summer months.
Brunch
Interested in heading here for brunch? We don’t blame you! The steak and eggs with flat iron steak, two eggs over easy, and pommes frites pairs perfectly with an iced coffee or a glass of sparkling white wine.
