About Le Petit Chevalier Vineyards & Winery
The family-owned winery in Creola states that its wines are estate-grown and bottled on site, with both dry and sweet selections, giving the visit a direct connection to the vineyard rather than functioning only as a retail tasting room. The current visitor schedule is unusually practical for the region. The tasting room is open Monday through Friday in the late afternoon and evening and again on Saturday afternoon and evening, with Sunday closed.
Weekday visitors can pair wine with charcuterie boards, paninis, snacks and seasonal specials, while Saturdays typically feature rotating food trucks announced by the winery. That makes Le Petit Chevalier flexible for travelers coming out of a day of hiking or sightseeing who want something more substantial than a tasting flight alone. The property also works well as an itinerary anchor. Two bespoke vacation rentals are located on the vineyard grounds, creating the option to turn a tasting stop into an overnight wine-country stay.
Dog owners should note that dogs are welcome only in outdoor seating areas and must remain leashed; the winery asks guests to alert bar staff before taking a dog out of the car. Bottle sales are available year-round, although pickup outside normal operating hours requires advance contact and Sunday sales are not offered. Wino Notion would frame Le Petit Chevalier as one of the stronger destination-style winery experiences in Southeast Ohio for travelers who value estate production and a relaxed rural setting. The combination of vineyard-grown wine, food, events and lodging gives it more depth than a simple tasting-room visit. As always, check the live event calendar and food-truck schedule before making a special trip, especially for Saturday visits.
