If you’re lookin’ to swap the noise of the city for the scent of fresh flowers, local wine, and the kind of small-town charm that feels like a hug—then say less. Meadow View Growers & Winery in New Carlisle, just outside of Dayton, is where it’s at. This place is part greenhouse wonderland, part boutique winery, part outdoor escape—and 100% worth the drive. Whether you're a plant parent, a wine enthusiast, or just wanna roam through a dreamy setting with a glass in hand, this spot hits all the right notes. It's family-run, locally loved, and low-key one of the prettiest places in the entire Dayton metro area.
