Cleveland Magazine's winery guide visits CLE Urban Winery in Cleveland Heights and describes wines made on site. The Lee Road tasting room maintains an active calendar and regular service, giving the city an urban production space rather than a retail only wine bar. Events and tastings make it an approachable introduction to locally produced wine without leaving the inner suburbs.

The Cleveland Winery makes wine in Old Brooklyn using grapes sourced from California, a process Cleveland Magazine documents in its regional guide. The Memphis Avenue tasting room also operates under the Vino Veritas Cellars name. Its small urban setting keeps the focus on the producer's own bottles and offers a different experience from a conventional neighborhood wine bar.

Château Hough turns vacant urban land into a working vineyard and winery in the Hough neighborhood. Cleveland Magazine profiles the East Sixty Sixth Street project and its tasting program. Current limited weekly service means planning matters, but the combination of vines, production and community development gives this city winery a distinct identity.

Cleveland Magazine's winery guide gives Carso Rosso a dedicated Strongsville entry and notes its handcrafted wines and tasting room.

Blind Squirrel Winery is a family run tasting destination near Chagrin Falls that Cleveland Magazine includes in its regional guide. The Pettibone Road property offers regular late week hours and a working wine program. Its rural setting gives guests a different pace from urban tasting rooms while keeping the emphasis on wine made and poured by the family operation.
