Sunshine, wine & great company equals the perfect Sunday funday! Ventured here on a Sunday with a couple of girlfriends for lunch. Everything is better with wine...we were able to snag a noon reservation which allowed for 3 hours. They welcomed us with a perfect welcome drink, a glass of their Blanc de Blanc which was the perfect choice for me...I love bubbles. Our waitress was attentive and made our experience just that much more enjoyable. I appreciated her allowing us to sample a few wines vs ordering a flight. We ended up going with a bottle of the Blanc de Blanc. We also shared the tomato focaccia, goddess salad and a charcuterie plate. For dessert we tried their chocolate cake and the sorbet...plus one of the girls I was with gifted us with some delicious sugar cookies which paired well with the americano that I also ordered. The seasonal cocktail was a little sweet for me, but the Blanc be Blanc was just right! After enjoying our lunch, and the impromptu photo shoot we had with another staff we ventured around the grounds... The farm was so beautiful and peaceful...the animals were just quietly relaxing and doing their own thing... It was the perfect Sunday adventure if you ask me! With the most perfect company. Happy Yelping! read more

Came here recently Sunday with some gfs, got a 12pm indoor Lounge reservation--there's a $26 per person fee for the nonrefundable reservation which secures your table and includes a welcome glass of their Champagne method Blanc de Blancs. I loved this place--beautiful scenery, good food/wine, great service, and my favorite parts of this place was that it's 21+ and indoor seating! Of course you can still enjoy the farm outside. They also have a sheep farm on the other side of the winery area! The Lounge has a fancy vibe, and you get amazing views of the vineyard. Our server Allyson was amazing--charismatic, attentive and overall had a fun vibe! She let us try some samples of their wines but we ended up liking the welcome drink (Blanc de Blancs) the best and opted for a bottle of that! Red wine wise, I liked the Meadowlore (Sister Farm) more than the Huntingmoon (Estate Wine). They offered some cocktails as well, which we tried--Strawberry Rosé Spritz & The Gold Rush. The Spritz tasted super sweet and more like juice, and the Gold Rush had brandy but was overloaded with too much honey and lemon for my preference. Food was delicious--we got Roasted Tomato Focaccia Pizza, Cured & Cultured Board, and Garden Greens Bowl with Herb & Citrus Marinated Roasted Chicken Breast. For desserts, the Chocolate Crémeux Cake & Berry Sorbet were good. They also have a photographer that comes by to take your group photo on Polaroids as a souvenir! read more

This review is for the dinner service at Burnt Hill. Gorgeous views, great food, and it's not too far away from the large MD suburbs, so it scores as a destination restaurant. Go here for a special night out with a date or friends. Dress up a little! It has a modern winery feel. Reservations are required at $26 per person, which doesn't go toward the final check, but it includes one drink each and a Polaroid taken before dinner. The parking lot is large chunky gravel, so be mindful if you want to wear heels. Seatings are in three separate buildings. The center building is where you check in for your reservation and get your drink. Maybe you'll be seated there, maybe you won't. Someone led us outside to take our photo and then took us to the building next door. All three buildings have large windows, so people can take in the lovely views (sheep were present while I was there). My building also overlooked the vineyard. We took a couple of breaks during our dinner to enjoy the view and take photos and others did too. The tables could fit 6 people, but many were filled with couples. There were a few groups. If you want to drink, there are 3 flights to choose from ($55, $40, and $30 non-alcoholic), as well as individual glasses. My husband and I ordered the $40 flight, charcuterie, the hummus, the carrots, and one pizza. We were not expecting the portion sizes to be so large. Each could feed 3-4 people. The food was elevated familiar food, and it was all very delicious. However, the charcuterie had only two slices of prosciutto, which should have been more. Our bill came out to $275 (the gratuity was already calculated in the bill). We had no room for dessert! We were there for 2.5 hours. My husband and I were bursting at the end, so we brought half of our pizza home. If it was just the two of us next time, we'd order just one dish and a pizza, because that'd be more than enough. We want to come back and would recommend this place to our friends. read more

Came here early May with another couple, after securing a reservation for a table in the lounge area. I paid a reservation fee of $112 for 4 people, which includes a welcome drink (champagne) and 3 hours to drink & dine. Not sure if the recent hype justifies the reservation fee, on top of what you're already paying for the food and wines. Excellent service & friendly staff from the welcome at check-in and throughout the experience. Cute touch with the Polaroid picture they took of us outside at the beginning to commemorate our time there. The lounge area is beautiful; loved all the overall style and vibe. They mentioned they will add seating outside in June, once the weather gets warmer! They also have farm animals roaming in the grassy area in the back. Food: the menu for lunch was pretty limited to some salads, small pizzas, a charcuterie board, and a few other small bites. We ordered the margherita pizza (made with sourdough focaccia) & the charcuterie board, for which I selected salami and several cheeses. Decent food, but not filling for a real meal. I assumed there would be more menu options after reading about the chef's tasting/kitchen. The wine: for the first bottle, I ordered The Stonehold, which is a red blend. Our server told us that it was one of their newer wine offerings, limited to only 100 bottles or so and once it's gone, it's gone. We all enjoyed this wine, so I highly recommend if they still have it available. For the second bottle, I ordered our server's favorite, which was the Fieldborn (another red wine), but we all still preferred the first bottle. At $88 a bottle, although they were good, we weren't particularly blown away by the wines. Overall, 4/5 for price to value ratio and limited selection for food & wine, but 5/5 for the service and ambiance. read more

Such a cute experience. FOOD 10/10. Ambiance 10/10. Service 10/10. We got a reservation for sunset time and I highly recommend coming for this hour, the views were amazing. Definitely will come back! I advise not to wear heels or just get dropped off at the front because the parking lot and road leading to the entrance is gravel. read more

Wow. Where do I even beginning. Two of my girlfriends and I visited Burnt Hill in celebration of a birthday. We were so lucky to have Scott as our staff member. He was extremely personable, warm, and knowledgeable about the food and wines available. He provided great insights and was very attentive. We had the Roasted Tomato Focaccia Pizza. It was amazing! Very filling a full of flavor! We also had the Romesco Roasted Carrots and The Sister Farms Wine tasting. I had to try the honey sesame cortado and I'm so glad I did. I was blown away immediately by the honey, sesame, and espresso flavor combination. Can't get over how good that cortado was! This winery is extremely aesthetically pleasing and the ambiance is ideal for great photos. I can't wait to return again soon! Soooo good! read more

I went with a group of friends yesterday and had a wonderful afternoon. Our staff member Joe was very nice and well educated on the wine, food, and the farm. When you come in you are greeted with a welcome glass of the winery's champagne. Then you are escorted inside to your table. For drinks the options are wine by the glass, a wine flight, and cocktails. My party got wine flights and ordered to share pizza, charcuterie board, and a dessert board. What I loved about the food is everything is fresh and they explained that as a regenerative farm they use for Instance their own grain to make the focaccia used in our pizza. I can't wait to return when the weather is warmer. read more

Burnt Hill Farm - Wine tasting. - Wineries Near Me - Clarksburg, Maryland

we arrived for our reservation and were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine and they took a polaroid photo of us, which was a thoughtful touch. it is a beautiful farm- a very scandinavian feel- modern architecture and vibes and the scenery of the farm is super peaceful and serene. it was unfortunate that the weather was rainy on this spring day that we came- we were looking forward to taking nice photos on the farm outside. the interior of the winery is beautiful and has a luxurious feel, good thing we dressed up a little the wine was delicious and we got to meet the owner of the winery as well, who stopped by our table to chat for a bit. we ordered a bottle of the solitude red wine, which was really delicious. actually, im usually not a wine person at all, but this wine was pretty good- it wasn't super acidic and had a deeper flavor. i definitely tasted the cocoa notes at the end. we also got the tomato focaccia and the carrots and the charcuterie board, and the portions were a bit on the smaller side, but for a group of 4 girls- these three dishes plus the wine was just enough to fully satiate us. the food was delicious and very fresh. the focaccia pizza was really yummy- super fluffy and yummy and the pesto was a nice bright pop. the three berry sorbet stood out a lot- it had an olive oil profile to it as well, which made it so refreshing and addictive, a perfect way to end the meal. i do wish we got to come when the weather was nicer, but the experience was still great. the service was slow but i think that is meant to be part of the experience? for someone who is used to quicker service and being a bit more in and out- it was something new but i can understand why it fits this place. overall, a great dinner experience for us. read more

It's so gorgeous I don't think my clips really do it justice. There are wild sheep there too, which is cool! The staff is great here. We arrived early and they started us off with their Blanc de Blancs and I'm pretty sure they refilled my glass another two times before we started the tasting. Two staff members conducted our tasting: Veronica and Brian and they were very kind and knowledgeable about the wines. I am not a red wine drinker (especially if it's not sweet) but wow I found 3 red wines I liked here, so I will have to come back and buy them. The tasting was with their 2021 EARTHSONG (93% PINOT NOIR, 7% CABERNET FRANC), 2021 REGENT (SINGLE BARREL SELECTION), and 2021 TERRAFIRMA (54% MERLOT, 27% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 14% CABERNET FRANC, 5% TANNAT). I also got to sample their collab wines with Old Westminster. I purchased the Nectar one (a sweeter wine). But seriously I need to come back and buy the Blanc de Blancs too (light and crispy but not too dry). The tasting also came with sourdough bread and two spreads (roasted heirloom tomato with garden basil and sesame brown butter with burnt hill honey). The snacks that also came with the tasting were acorn squash soup, honeycrisp apple fennel salad, peanuts, and olives. Everything was really good and fresh but these are truly snacks and light. I usually don't like fruit in my salad, but the salad was excellent!!! The more relaxed casual tasting experience that starts in December will have pizza as an option to purchase. Just a note: the $26 to secure your experience per person does not go towards your final bill. Also, there are no indoor bathrooms. They have nice trailer bathrooms outdoors. They are not like porta potty's. They are clean, smell good, and are spacious. I believe next year (or a little later) they will be adding cabins for people to be able to stay in, which I love and cannot wait to see! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Burnt Hill yesterday! It's honestly the perfect date spot. The views are beautiful, the food is great, the service is spot on, and the wines are lovely. We did the estate tasting and had three hours to enjoy ourselves. We didn't use the whole three hours but it was nice not feeling rushed. All of the reds are on the lighter-medium bodied end of the spectrum, which isn't my personal preference, but they were all very nice and balanced. The bread was to die for, as was the soup. I almost ordered more soup but held off. The apple salad was also great. One of my favorite parts of the afternoon was watching the sheep casually stroll by. I love how Burnt Hill focuses on sustainably and using all of their resources. How cool is it that they have pigs, sheep, bees and fruit all on the premise? If you have a chance to go, do it! read more

TLDR: A new small business with great sustainable values ran by the beloved Baker family, but the price and service were quite a shock! With the excellence and strong following of the Old Westminister Winery, we were eager to try their new venture, Burnt Hill. Starting with the good. The architecture and interior design is stunning! Think modern farm with a Japandi interior and warm cozy lighting. We viewed the new lounge as well, which has complementary furniture but a more relaxed, casual feel. We went at night but we highly recommend going in the day and sunset, when you get to view the scenery and the wild sheep! We were greeted at the door with the Blanc de Blancs (as part of our reservation fee) and had a Polaroid taken by the staff that was given to us at the end of the meal (a nice personal touch). We opted for the $85 tasting experience, which included 3 tastings of the estate wine, turkey red bread with heirloom tomato butter and brown butter sesame butter, acorn squash soup, Apple fennel salad with romesco, salted peanuts, and olives. The food was delicious and executed perfectly. The bread was warm and had a nutty tone, and the butters complemented it so well - they also explained the multi-day baking process and it truly is a labor of love! The salad was fresh and crisp, with the perfect tang from the romesco sauce. In addition we ordered the pork torchon which had a lovely flavor from the cured pork and got to try the chocolate cake and strawberry sorbet which were the perfect ending. We also got to chat with Drew and Tae, who were so kind with their time and shared the story of Burnt Hill. Now some problems I have. The hefty non-refundable reservation fee of $26, though it includes a tasting of the Blanc de Blancs, felt forced, especially as reservation deposits are typically refundable. Not the typical method but we bit the bullet. We also thought coming in that the $85 fee for the tasting experience was exorbitant but were hoping to feel at the end that it was worth it but unfortunately we didn't. The wine pours were half of a typical, and the garden snacks were overall not filling. Though they were delicious, the soup was only a sip, there was literally 10 peanuts, and not even enough olives for 2 per person! I'm not one to usually think about the price when experiencing a high end restaurant, but we unfortunately could not stop thinking about it. There is no sample menu on the website so we were not sure how filling the snacks were going to be, so I had to eat a small dinner before going, which I do not love that I had to do. I definitely would have been hungry otherwise. We also were disappointed with the service, given the caliber and price of the place. I asked about how one of their dishes was prepared and they could not answer, which is surprising given how small their menu is. They were more proactive about trying to clear our plates (literally one server came 5 minutes after the other) when there was plenty of space on the table, making us feel rushed, than filling our water. We were quite dehydrated at the end of the meal and I think water is quite important for a wine tasting especially for the drivers at night! Finally, it seems like their concept heavily leans on regenerative agriculture and farm to table dining, which adds to its uniqueness (and even price). If such an important concept, I would have liked to be introduced to the story, even if through a short blurb on the menu, if not through the waiter. This would be incredibly important to set the tone and intentionality of the meal. I also found it odd that our chairs were pointed towards the dark windows. In the day it makes sense to see the scenery, but for night time, it would have been much better to face the rest of the restaurant - which again is beautiful. We really wanted to love the place, but with the pricing of the menu, it's just not worth it. I would expect full pours with the wine and multiple sizable dishes, especially with the dinner time seating. I'm quite sad I have to give it a 3, but I am excited for Tae's chef counter to open and hopeful about how Burnt Hill will transform and grow over the next year. read more

Sometimes a new business just blows you away. And that's what happened when I visited Burnt Hill Farm for the first time last weekend. I'm a big fan of Old Westminster Winery. It's beautiful and fun and has, in my opinion, been making the best wines in the state of Maryland for years. Why am I bringing this up in a review of a different business? Because Burnt Hill Farm is the new project from the family team behind Old Westminster. And while I'll always love Old Westminster, they've really hit it out of the park with Burnt Hill: the facilities are even more beautiful, the views even more stunning, the food even more delicious, and the wine? There are more vines at Burnt Hill than Old Westminster, and they're offering some really incredible wines already. More on all of this below. So what is it? When you arrive, there are three buildings. One is main tasting room. It's stunning, like you've arrived at fancy restaurant in Copenhagen or Stockholm (the Scandinavian vibes are intentional). The other is more of a lounge building - for private parties and groups. The third - when it's done soon - will be a restaurant space - a chef's tasting counter. All three of the buildings stand at the top of the hill looking like modern architectural masterpieces - stark, but in a good way; standing out from the landscape, but somehow drawing your attention even more to that landscape because of the contrast; windows and glass everywhere, letting you see through the buildings into the gardens and vineyards beyond. The views are really amazing. You can see Sugarloaf Mountain, but in the foreground before it? Their intentionally wild landscaping and then rows and rows of vines. And they're making the best use of the land that they possibly can. There's an apiary on the property, and they're using the honey from those bees in dishes at the tasting room. They're growing wheat that will be used in the bread program. When we arrived, we were immediately treated to a glass of Blanc de blancs (one of my absolute favorites we tried; this was absolutely not the only glass I had during our visit) and a tour of the property. Then, we were seated in the tasting room for a wine tasting with snacks made in their kitchen. We were seating at a table at the window, facing the window, so we got to enjoy their incredible view throughout our tasting. We tried three more of their wines (all reds, including a Gamay, that is the first Gamay made in Maryland and an absolute stunner). Our snacks included vegetarian snacks: bread and butter service (the herb butter they made blew my socks off); a little shooter of chilled corn and curry oil soup; a salad of raw, fresh vegetables over an eggplant puree; as well as some olives and nuts to snack on. Everything was delicious, so we decided to eat a bit more and added on their take on a charcuterie board (local/regional cheeses, a peach jam they made, an apricot mustard I would drink, and more). So, so far I've mentioned the views, the property, the great local focus, the incredible wines, and the delicious food. On top of all of this, the service was truly incredible. Kristen and AJ made our experience even better. They were helpful, informative (we learned so much about the wines they are making and experimenting with), and lovely. We had such a great time with them. We left with four bottles and very inspired by what might be the prettiest place I've been in the state of Maryland. Burnt Hill Farm is incredible. Trust me - you're going to want to experience this incredible place. Don't wait to make a reservation. I personally can't wait to return and can't wait to be a part of experiencing all of the plans and projects they have for this business in the future. read more

I visited Burnt Hill about a year ago for a wine festival event, and it was beautiful then, but even more beautiful now. The winery has such an intimate feel to it, which made the experience even better. The food and wine were both amazing. I wish I could remember the staff's names because everyone was so kind and welcoming. I also loved the small photo keepsake they take and give you, it was such a nice touch. The owner even came around to check on guests, made sure everything was good, and shared some history about the winery. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Setting & Atmosphere Burnt Hill Farm offers a rustic yet aspirational ambiance -- rolling countryside views and a property clearly positioned to become a destination winery. Guests are greeted with a sparkling-style Chardonnay, a charming nod to hospitality. However, the tour of the grounds, while pleasant, felt cursory -- more a gesture than a full immersion into the vineyard's story. The nostalgic photo keepsake was a thoughtful touch, aligning with the farm's ethos of creating memory as much as taste. Service The service was exemplary. Staff were well-versed in the wines, spoke with confidence, and elevated the experience with warmth and attentiveness. Their professionalism was easily on par with what one would expect at a Michelin-recognized establishment. Food & Pairings The food program, though limited by the lack of a completed kitchen, demonstrated glimpses of potential. The bread -- house-baked, using ingredients from the property -- was superb: perfectly textured and paired with two butters (a savory, umami-driven plant-based spread and a honey-sweetened butter) that showcased balance and ingenuity. The accompanying nibbles -- nuts, olives, a mixed green salad, and hummus -- were modest in portion and, notably, best suited for individual tasting rather than true sharing. The miniature cup of corn soup, though creative, was texturally and flavor-wise the weakest dish of the lineup, lacking the depth or refinement expected in a tasting context. The wines were presented in measured sips -- evocative for evaluation but arguably underwhelming for enjoyment. Three small pours for nearly $100 per person left the experience feeling more like an introduction than a full expression of the estate's range. Presentation Plating and presentation were kept minimalistic, aligned with the farm-to-table ethos. However, there was little in the way of theatricality or artistry; the focus remained rustic and unembellished. While this fits the setting, at a luxury price point, the presentation could aspire to more. Overall Experience & Value At just under $100 per person, the tasting leaned heavily on service and atmosphere to justify the cost. While the bread course was exceptional and the staff flawless, the portion sizes and limited menu left the experience feeling incomplete. A single full pour of one of the wines, or a more generous shared charcuterie board, would have elevated the value and satisfaction considerably. That said, the farm is still in transition, with a full kitchen under renovation -- a factor that tempers criticism and suggests the promise of more ambitious culinary offerings in the future. Verdict Burnt Hill Farm delivers warmth, elegance, and a glimpse into a potentially remarkable wine-tasting destination. The service and bread course shine brightly, yet the restrained portions and pricing structure leave refinement and generosity as opportunities for growth. read more

The entire experience was worth the price from start to finish! My birthday plans were thwarted due to the winter storm but we were able to snag a last-minute reservation here and this experience saved my birthday weekend! We had an incredible red wine estate tasting, and they were all delicious, complex, layered and smooth. The food pairings felt generous to us, and were equally delicious, especially the bread service. Isaac walked us through the different notes and the history of the soil and terroir. We were lucky enough that Drew- one of the owners, was on site to explain more of the history to us. Burnt Hill is a really special place and well worth the trip to Clarksburg. We highly recommend this experience and look forward to coming back with friends soon. What a great addition to the region. read more

Be sure to read Sandra K's review before going! She got it right. I honestly didn't know what we were getting but when Food&Wine says it's the most beautiful winery, I figured it would be worth a visit. And it is beautiful! The charm of the sheep & the building/decor are breathtaking. The wine flight is fine, I'm not a huge fan of flights, I personally perfer enjoying a full pour of a wine, But the food? Skimpy!! Delicious bite. But just so tiny, I think Costco food samples are bigger. Maybe over time, they'll improve. Sigh. read more

Have you ever been somewhere that before you're even leaving, you're trying to figure out when you'll visit next? That's how we felt about Burnt Hill Farm. Every single part - from the architecture of the buildings, the chairs we sat in, the food we ate, and the drinks we enjoyed - were created with intention. I genuinely will never get over about how gorgeous it was inside and out (and it was freezing outside, which says a lot!!!) Now the food and drink: the food was impeccable and why we are planning our next visit. We spent time in the tasting room and definitely want to check out the lounge room. My fiancé enjoyed the wine and even bought a bottle to take home. They even have a non-alcoholic tasting which I enjoyed - I appreciated that even at a winery, they have that option for people. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation ASAP. read more

Burnt Hill Farm was amazing! They pay close attention to detail, from the explanation of the property at the entrance to the heated, lemongrass-scented towels and the thoughtful explanation of each wine. We had Julia as our waitress in the tasting room, and she was fantastic! I was initially hesitant after reading another review that mentioned light tasting pours, but that was not our experience with Julia. However, it did seem like the table next to us received lighter pours. The staff was also open to letting us taste from the table wine menu, which helped make up for any smaller pours of the estate wines. The food was incredible and very fresh--just enough for a light lunch that didn't overpower the wine. We also loved that we were not rushed at all, which we've experienced at other wineries in the area. We already can't wait to go back! read more

Our Burnt Hill experience was amazing from start to finish. This is my first time using Yelp but wanted to provide a review. Upon arriving to Burnt Hill, we were stunned by the end to end experience. We were greeted with a glass of wine and provided an overview of the winery and diverse ecosystems that make Burnt Hill's approach to winemaking extremely unique. Their passion for polycutural farming was felt in the history of their farm. From there, we had a great time. Isaac was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all our questions regarding the three red wines we tried and more. We also tried the temperance flight, which are non-alcoholic but carry the same caliber of thought and intentionality as their farm. We tried multiple items from the menu and they didn't disappoint. It's a challenge to get a reservation, but highly recommend trying this experience. read more
