Stone Faces Winery has a great tasting room in the Hill City area. Stone Faces is Valiant Vineyard’s second winery. Valiant Vineyard is base out of Vermilion, SD. They are putting down roots in the Black Hills though, they’ve planted 25 acres of grapes near Spearfish and have plans of distilling spirits at their Hill City location. Plus, they have a great selection of wine.

Stop and have a taste.
Visit the Stone Faces Website for tasting room hours. You get three free tastes, I wouldn’t call them free, because you’ll want to buy some wine to take home with you (but that is a good thing).
