Bold Rock Cidery feels like such a VA staple. If you're a cider person you have to check this…read morecharming spot out. It's family friendly and has a lot of easy parking. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Do know it can get packed on weekends so outdoor seating can be harder to come by. The Cidery overlooks a huge field below that is good for kids and pets to run around. They have a huge selection of cider. They also offer a cider that you can only get at the taproom. We recently went on Mother's Day and they were doing a cute brunch and giving out free carnations. I enjoyed their classic cider and exclusive one. They have a pretty big food menu which is nice. The food is good for what it is. My group really liked the pretzels. I'd recommending stopping by.

Absolutely a fan fave!…read more Whenever in the Wintergreen area, Bold Rock is a must stop. The beer The views The food The music The vibes We haven't been here in sometime but I'm so glad they're still giving five star service. We were looking a little lost coming in, but David grabbed us up and said "I can help you over here". From there it was love at first SIP! He has us at FREE SAMPLE ciders. David took us through the offerings, educating us along the way. He mentioned what ciders are the most flavorful and why. He hung with our curiosity, eagerness to drink and indecisiveness at the same time. Customer service is crucial to a pleasant experience. I can only hope the rest of the staff are as easy going and likes their job as much as he does. Now for the cider. GET THE FLIGHT! Sample and fall in love with options instead of one. We settled on: Pineapple Imperial Berry Summer Slice Paradise Orchard Imperial orange Vat #1 (champagne cider) Imperial All amazing and refreshing selections. Paradise orchard is my new fave. Let's get into this food. We ordered: Tacos w/ house chips Chicken Nachos Cajun Honey wings & fries All great and very fresh made to order, so good, good flavors. My fave were the wings and the house chips. Only notes is out more sauce and seasoning on the wings, I felt like BR was teasing me with a good time. I needed more! Same with the nachos so good. The chips were fresh, but I need more cheese throughout the chips. Chicken was on point. Everything was super super fresh so good. House chips is a huge staple love them. Keep doing them maybe add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if you are reading this and you're debating about coming here get the house chips get a flight get it all. Our total bill $75, but omg we sampled sooo much! Love this place... BR give David a raise!

We stepped in the cabin and it is beautiful. The interior is rustic and it fits so well. The host left information about the area and pamphlets for things to do and see in the area which is a very nice touch too for someone who has never stayed in the area like myself. The kitchen is stocked with things you would need to cook, make tea and coffee which is very cool but bring things to cook (meats and such). There are restaurants about 20 minutes away but if you are looking for the retreat and just wanting to stay at the cabin there is also a firepit and grill out back available. It was awesome to sit in the fire pit area and just listen to the nature in the area.

How have I never reviewed Hill Top when I have been going for 8 years?!?…read more I love this place. The servers are knowledge and friendly, and their wines and meads are so unique and well made. You can do a tasting of 8 of their wines and meads for $5, which is a great option if you have never been before. Hill Top is unique because it makes wines out of fruit, so you'll have wine here that you will never had anywhere else. I love their sweet melon wine, hunter's moon mead, and dragon's blood mead, among many others. Hill Top also has a great outdoor seating area where you can watch the goats and working dogs around the farm, with great views.

I have to always put Hill Top on my list when I am in the area. I ended up leaving with 12 bottles of wine and a jar of the wild flower honey. I wish they'd attend Norfolk VA wine festival again, I miss them so much! Emily "The traveling nurse", ended up assisting us during our time there. She was very welcoming, upfront and honest with her recommendations for our 2 flights that we selected. We chose from meads and berry wines as well. Emily didn't steer us wrong at all. After ordering we sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. Both flights came with oyster crackers and chocolate covered almonds. The Lavender and Persimmons was my fave selection. However, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to snag some bottles of Madison to go. The goats on site were too cute as well! I wish they'd attend Norfolk VA wine festival again, I miss them so much!

Vendors selling all kinds of hand-crafted original clothing and jewelry, too. Lots to look at and gather in your basket to take home and make an amazing meal with ingredients that were just pulled out of the ground. A nice selection of meats are available, too. On the day we were there, there was no music but I hear that was a rare quiet day, that mostly there is a local group playing and that must make it very festive. All vendors are under tents, so rain not really an issue, nor sun in the warmer months. A very friendly atmosphere both from the vendors and the patrons. Worth making the stop and checking out the local goods for sale.

One star was deducted because there were some seriously flawed transportation issues later in the day as the buses tried to bus participants back down to their cars. Delays of 2 hours in some cases. I ran in the morning, so didn't witness this. Plus, I stayed on site at Wintergreen, so it wasn't a factor for me personally.

We were not sure how many people we would have, but Crozet Trolley has space for much more than the 14 guests that most of the wine tours in the area can accommodate.

I would highly recommend Crozet Trolley for visiting wineries in the Crozet area.

I have been using the "High Tech" Meditation soundtracks/products, as well as attending the retreat programs in this beautiful and scenic setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA from the start of my journey. For most of these years, I have also been in personal mentoring with Master Charles Cannon, a master of the meditative experience. It IS incredulous how much I have grown as a person, a human being...as a result. It is indeed extremely rare to be able to experience a living teacher such as Master Charles.

Totally worth it for the views regardless.
