Nice little find on our recent roadtrip in Elizabethtown, Kentucky! The owner was personable and took great care with my gluten allergy! Wine was good, the food was hot and fresh, and my company (my darling husband) is always my favorite part of these adventures!

First time here on a little date night. Betsy was super helpful lining up a flight of wines we really enjoyed with the charcuterie board. Was not super busy but we got there at 6pm on a Friday. People started coming in after we left. Ended up buying a bottle of Blueberry wine and will be back for a future date night! Definitely recommend!

I love their wine selections. For the past few years Charles, the owner, has been very accommodating as I make purchases in bulk. He runs a lovely business with a great menu.

Awesome atmosphere, great location, and even better food! We will be back for brunch again! We tried the charcuterie board, shrimp & grits, and chicken & waffles. They were all fantastic!

We visited on a particularly slow evening, and Charles Watkins, owner, was very cordial and we enjoyed a discussion of his business start and how it has developed. My wife and I each enjoyed a flight tasting, charcuterie, and then dinner. The house special of the week, Chicken Alfredo was delicious. The overall ambiance and motif is classic modern, very relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Excellent wine, and I mean excellent. I've tasted wine in California, Costa Rica, Dubai, Europe, Thailand, The Philippines, and throughout the Caribbean and the Water's Edge brand is right on par with those high end international brands if not, better 🥂 . The food was good as well, if I had to give it grade, I would say it's a solid B. The place has a lot of potential and service was awesome.

It was evident that the chefs take great pride in their culinary creations.Equally impressive was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that our experience was nothing short of perfect. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make us feel special.Overall, Waters Edge Winery and Bistro is a gem that offers an exceptional dining experience.

The customer service and experience was great. I love wine, but I feel the sweet wines here were a little weak in flavor compared to my recent tastings at other places. Place was very clean, family friendly, and very visually appealing.

I went to the comedy show a couple weeks ago. The comedians were amazing, and the wine was pretty good. I will definitely come back sometime soon. The only downside was a large group that kept trying to interrupt the show by being loud and obnoxious. Even the comedians had to tell them to hush.

Great selection of dry wines. All were very good. Kudos to the winemaker! We had Sunday brunch and the food was awesome. You have to try the Steak and Egg Benedict Flatbread. Incredible!

Had appetizers and drinks with friends at Waters Edge last night. The food was excellent. I had never tried pimento cheese dip before, it was so delicious that I'm going to have to order it every time we go there. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The team there makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this jewel in E-town!

We had a 30-person birthday event here and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Charlie was really easy to work with scheduling the event and making sure all our needs were met. The entire staff was accommodating, pleasant and efficient. The venue itself was clean, well taken care of and provided a great relaxing, laid back atmosphere. I highly recommend Waters Edge.

It was nice to visit a winery in Etown! I grew up in Radcliff but retired from the Air Force and now live in Florida. The charcuterie board was perfect, just would recommend smaller tasting glasses or a tasting bar. We will certainly be back!

It’s tucked off Main Street but has a beautiful atmosphere. The service was a bit slow and inconsistent the few times we’ve gone, but they’re polite when they’re around! We love sampling the variety of wines (1 oz or 2oz options). They have dinner specials on the weekend and a small stage for live music.
