Northeast Ohio is full of family fun. While most look toward heavily populated regions like that of Greater Cleveland for things to do in Ohio, there’s great value in venturing outside the metropolitan area and into the countryside. Hartville is a petite village in Stark County, and it boasts one winery and market that’s the ideal family fun destination in the autumn months. If you’re craving scenic beauty, fall fun, and a balloon launch, Maize Valley Winery and Market is the best weekend trip near Cleveland.
Maize Valley is the most darling winery in the region.
Located out in Hartville, this darling market and winery is within driving distance of Cleveland, Akron, and Amish Country. It's an incredible place to grab a bite to eat and sample some super sweet Ohio wines, but it's also an incredible place to unwind with the family.
The market and winery has adapted to embrace all things fall, which is truly a treat considering the beautiful transformation that their campus undergoes. In addition to brilliant foliage, guests will find all the autumnal attractions their heart desires.

Once the fall harvest arrives, visitors will find attractions like a corn maze, wagon rides, and pumpkin picking.
The fall harvest celebration includes something for everyone. The pumpkin cannon is an incredible experience for kids and adults alike, the straw bale mountain adds a picturesque atmosphere to the landscape, and the Farmagination village area is sure to delight the kids.
Beautiful landscapes, incredible activities, and a balloon lift off? Count me in! Regular weekend admission is $12. Children under two are free, and senior and military discounts are offered as well.
Campfires, a corn maze, all sorts of adorable critters, and wine? Count me in!
There's truly something for everyone this autumn in Hartville, and it's a worthy weekend trip for Clevelanders. The whole family is sure to have a ball, especially if they're craving fall fun!
