Grafton SkyTour at Aerie's Resort
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We came here for the day and took the sky tour up to the Aries Winery. It was the 1st weekend in November, 2021. The leaves were changing and it was so beautiful. It was decent priced too, at only $10 round trip, and it took about 20 minutes to get to the top where the Winery is.
At the top they ha...

Boathouse Food & Deck
Restaurant
👍👍 The food was delicious, the view was terrific! Our waitress was doing a wonderful job UNTIL every table filled up and she didn't have any help. She was so friendly and then I just felt bad her for her running around everywhere and apologizing. Definitely needed at least one more waitress on a busy,...
