Wine Tasting
Just recently rediscovered this tasting room after an ownership change. The big porch and atmosphere makes it one of our favorites, especially when your tasting with 2 or 3 couples. Porch allows you to sit and really enjoy your time in Murphys.

Food scene
Do you enjoy people watching, lunch on the patio provides the opportunity to watch folks from all walks of life enjoying town.
Just ate here in early July 2023 and the new owners have done a incredible job! Two of us had meals including salmon and they were by far the best prepared I have had in years.
They have also incorporated into the menu gluten free options.

Murphys Park
Murphys park offers the kids a chance to play on the slides, swings and just have a little fun. Don't be surprised to find the kids playing in the creek and a great excuse for the adults to put there feet in.
