When one hears "wine country," Nevada isn't generally a state that comes to mind. However, this is precisely where you will find one of the most celebrated and amazing wineries in the southwest United States. Surrounded by lush green beauty and fragrant vineyards, Symphony's Restaurant is on the grounds of the Pahrump Valley Winery in southern Nevada where delicious food, a truly amazing wine selection, exquisite and friendly service, and beautiful scenery abound. Take a look at this stunning and tasty Nevada wine country eatery.

The Pahrump Valley Winery is located in the heart of Nevada's Mojave Desert in the southern part of the state, just over 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

Dine by the vines at Zagat-rated Symphony's Restaurant that has been voted Best Restaurant in Nevada for 2015 and 2016 by Nevada Magazine. This upscale casual restaurant is named for the winery's gold medal winning wine of the same name. Symphony's has also earned Trip Advisor's "Award of Excellence" for five straight years.

Proprietors and winemakers Bill and Gretchen Loken have owned this popular and largest-selling Nevada winery and restaurant since 2005.

The Lokens have expanded their vineyard from 350 vines to more than 1,500 vines.

Choice Zinfandel and Syrah grapes are spread over 5 glorious acres.

The winery and restaurant are situated on 10 acres with spectacular views of Mount Charleston. Wine tours and tasting events are available, and the winery and restaurant provide a stunning wedding and reception venue.

The gorgeous view from the restaurant will make you forget you are in arid southern Nevada.

This hidden gem of a restaurant consistently earns high marks for food, wine, location, service, and ambience.

Despite being a "white linen" restaurant, guests are invited to dress casually yet dine lavishly. Of course, the owners respectfully request that guests refrain from certain attire like flip-flops, sleeveless shirts for gentlemen, and some headwear.

Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, and dinner service begins at 5:00 p.m. until closing (generally around 8:30 p.m.)

All of the winery's award-winning wines are available to pair with your meal.
