We absolutely had a great time at this vineyard! We had the pleasure of having the wine maker conduct out tasting and it was amazing! Pretty much every wine we tasted was great! We ended up using a yelp deal and purchasing 2 bottles of wine and stemless glasses. The Hard Apple Cider was amazing and the Vidal Blanc was one of my boyfriend's favorites besides the Dark Maple Desert wine which was great! A must visit if you are in the area! read more

Another winery that was found on the same day with just getting in the car and driving. The scenery is beautiful as this is set at the base of the mountainside. The wine and cider tastings are great, so try both of them. read more

My dad and I went to this vineyard per the recommendation of our waiter at Julien's in Middleburg and had a great time! It was a bit of a drive and definitely off the beaten path, but it was worth it. There were a couple of other people there, but not overwhelming, the staff there was very helpful and chatty, and the wines were great! The general tasting was $8 or $10 for 8 wines (4 white, 4 red) and they were all enjoyable. Great ambiance, great staff, great wines. Will definitely go back to try their hard cider in the fall! read more

I've been to this winery many times and though their ciders shine brightest the wines aren't bad. After many visits, this particular time, we met the owner and she was a delight! Very personable and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She gave us a tour of their bottling and barrel room. Overall really excellent customer service. My husband and I come here at least once a month on our way to a nearby winery and I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this gem yet. We'll keep coming especially since we purchased their cider mug where we get a free pour every visit! read more

Cobbler Mountain Cider - Cobbler mountain cider mugs that will keep any drink hot or cold. - Wineries Near Me - Delaplane, Virginia

Great wine and great staff! Try the Hard Apple Cider or the Cabernet Franc!

Cobbler Mountain is a delightful little find. Hidden far off the beaten path in an area full of big vineyards, Cobbler Mountain stands out for it's very pleasant servers and gorgeous setting; and the wine's not bad either! I found the whites a bit sweet, but not so much that I didn't buy a bottle. The reds are a little immature, but again worth taking a bottle of cab Sauvignon for the road. read more

Cobbler Mountain Cider - Cobbler Mountain tasting room - Wineries Near Me - Delaplane, Virginia

What a great place to escape to! The drive up to the tasting room really makes you feel like you are traveling to a magical land untouched by time. Once you are in the tasting room you will most likely be served by Jeff or Laura, two of the nicest people you will ever meet, who are also the owners and wine maker. While all of their wines are lovely there is something really special about the reds. The Cab Sauv and Meritage are my favorites! It's sad I live about 40 miles away from this lovely winery, but it's nice to know I have a place to go to get great wine surrounded by great company if I ever need to escape. I can't wait to see where they go in the wine industry! read more

Perfect day trip from DC metro area -- family run and extremely friendly; knowledgeable and easygoing staff; generous pours -- seven wines at the tasting! A cozy, homey tasting room with the family dogs ambling about. I'd come here again and again for a beautiful, low-key, welcoming atmosphere and a great day trip mini vacation. I recommend the Meritage wine the most. Also, I had zero problems finding it with my GPS-- not difficult! read more

We certainly love this place. I originally found it through a groupon with the girls. I loved it so much we came back the next weekend. Since finding Cobbler Mountain in August we have been back several times and joined the wine club. There are many perks to the wine case club including our visits to pick up where we are greeted like we are entering our own family home. We love Jeff and Laura and have/would recommend this winery. read more

We were heading to a few wineries in the area and saw the sign for cobbler mountain- and so glad we stopped! The owners happened to be in that day to help with tastings. The wines were yummy, even had some fun sparkling wines! Though the jewel in their crown is their cider- I never had such an amazing tasting of ciders! They have so many flavors- including the hoppier varieties for beer lovers to a fabulous orange and maple variety! The owner even gave us a tour of their production area and a special barrel tasting. They are kid, and more importantly, dog friendly In their tasting room. It's s very relaxed and enjoyable spot- if you're in the area its must stop! read more

After sending a review via electronic receipt stating that we were not pleased with the service the owner decided to respond in the same fashion that she runs her business, complete disregard for customer service or failure to admit any wrongdoing. We sat at the cellar for 2 and a half hours before we got our taste testing. The lady who runs the place did offer a refund, but we did not show up at a winery to get free taste testings. During the time that we were there we watched 3 groups of 3 to 5 people walk out after sitting at the front of the bar for 30minutes, so the owner did not even notice she was losing business in the front. Then, magically the owner comes to the front after being confronted by someone in our group that the service wasn't even unsatisfactory it was not existent. Here's my advice to the owner, hire someone to deal with people as you have limited people skills. We wanted to enjoy this place but I with the current business plan I don't see it succeeding through much more of this. read more

Had a great experience at Cobblers Mountain Cellars. Everyone was helpful and friendly. This small family run business is a great place to visit and spend as much time as you want. The wines are amazing, I bought several bottles and am looking forward to returning and getting some of their delicious Cider. The children in the family are very helpful, daughter Olivia was the cashier and really knew her stuff. Daniel is polite and carried our wine to the car for us so we could sit and enjoy our delicious bread and cheeses. Harrison is also a part of this family business, I was very impressed with all 3. I know some people complain about the gravel road but instead of turning on Ada Road like your GPS will tell you go a little further and turn right on Hume road then turn right on Ramey Road and then left on Moreland Road. This is beautiful rural Virginia. Worth the drive. I for one love supporting small family businesses and this is a perfect example of why Virginia is such a great wine state. The tasting room is beautiful. I prefer this style to the slick commercial type winery you find in other places. You should definitely go if you get the chance. I know I will be returning. Sit in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the beauty of the Virginia countryside. Thanks for a truly great day. read more

What a gem and a solid four stars! After reading the reviews here on Yelp I didn't know what to expect when my husband bought a voucher to this place for me. After calling to confirm that we could bring our dog we loaded up the car and drove out. To our surprise the basement tasting room was rather charming, although small with limited seating as other reviewers have noted. There is more seating outside. The owners recently installed a new dedicated bathroom for the tasting room. Everyone, from the patrons to the staff to the owners to Corky the resident dog, was friendly. The wines were pretty solid, although bottles are pricier than comparable wineries. What I liked best about this place was the totally laid back, friendly, unpretentious vibe. It's a great place to enjoy a glass or two with your friends, human and dog alike. read more

Took a shot on a Living Social deal; figured it might be a good spot for a fall weekend date. This is a smaller, unpretentious winery with incredible views and some great wine. The seasonal hard cider was excellent. The staff did a great job with the wine tasting, and we sat outside on a cool afternoon enjoying some Chardonnay and local cheese. Will definitely be coming back again and bringing friends. read more

Wonderful place to visit - and the wine is great, too! We visit frequently, sometimes bringing our dog - great dog-friendly place.

Of all the wineries in Northern Virginia, this is by far the best. The owners are extremely friendly, the winemaker is very passionate about his work, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. There is a great variety of wine - and they are continuously improving their craft. I love the reds, but the vidal blanc is delicious as well. They make it really easy to join the wine club, and are happy to accomodate any specific requests. Most of all, I feel at home here - and never get tired of visiting and enjoying the sublime views and friendly atmoshpere. read more

Incredible winery! Has some of the best views and wines within the northern Virginia region! Not to mention the cider is great! Definitely a must stop on the Virginia wine tasting tour!! read more

Selection of ciders has grown, beautiful location, cider still great, still nothing but water and pretzels for non drinkers or designated drivers, is it really that difficult to get a slab soda in? read more

I try to come here every chance I get. The staff is always pleasant and accommodating. Their ciders are amazing and full of flavor. I got a growler that was $40 to purchase but $30 to refill but when you refill you get 2 free wine and cider tasting so definitely worth the cost. This place is also very kid friendly with a small section for kids under the stairs in a nook. My kids love going just as much as I do. They're wines are decent as well and the prices are fairly average for Virginia. It's pretty easy to access from Rt 66 and tucked into the mountain with beautiful views. Plenty of nearby wineries if you wish to make a day of it as well. read more

Use to love this place but it is too crowded and commercial now. You can buy the ciders at Wegmans now which is easier.

This is a fantastic winery and cidery. I enjoy their wines but I must say I love their siders. They have so many different flavors and seasonal flavors. They can also be purchased outside of their winery at different grocery stores. I saw their siders at Wegmans. I went here using a Groupon for a tour and tasting with some of my friends for a bachelorette party. The staff was extremely accommodating. We did go on a busy day so be sure to prepare for having neighbors at the tasting with you. My friends and I enjoyed a nice long cider tasting. They have many different varieties. We got to go down and see the beautiful dining room that they have set up in their seller. They have a mid evil table with awesome Decour down in the seller. Another thing that I really like about this winery is the spice up there oyster crackers a little bit. Their oyster crackers are season with salt and garlic and they are very tasty. The Decour here is Celtic and this is another Virginia family-owned small winery and cider. I highly recommend. read more

Beautiful veiw, crappy wine, rude staff and a Port-a-Potty in 100 degree weather. Great view. Used a livingsocial voucher. Woman pouring was rude, wouldn't let me use the money toward the future bottle coming out when I didn't like anything they had. Owner said yes, than said no. The final straw... it's a 98 degree day and the only option they have for a bathroom was a port-a-potty. Not "Oh we are having a problem, so sorry". Nope - that is the only option. Really... a nasty smelly outhouse at a vineyard? read more

This is a small family winery that is very welcoming. The ower greeted us at the door and gave us an estimate of the wait time for a tasting (7 minutes). Meanwhile we were directed to some seating with a Shut the Box game within reach. We also browsed in the gift area. Our server was knowledgeable about the wines and gave good descriptions of them. We also enjoyed a tasting of the hard apple cider and the 2 kinds of maple syrup wine, which we had never tasted elsewhere. I really like the Amber version. I am looking forward to having another sip of that on Thanksgiving. It was said that the maple syrup wine even goes well drizzled on oatmeal. I think cheesecake or vanilla ice cream would be my preference. There are plans for moving the tasting room out of the family home. Meanwhile, go and enjoy the wine! read more

This place is amazing! We were just driving around on an overcast day Saturday and decided to check this place out. The drive is beautiful, you feel like you are stepping into another world. We arrived around 3:30 and the place was jumping! There must have been 2 dozen people, all being waited on by one bartender, Maria. She was on her game, chatting with folks, keeping everyone's glass full, explaining the different flavors. I felt kind of bad for her because there were a few folks who clearly had too much to drink and were being really demanding with no consideration for how hard she was working. But with that said, she had a smile on her face the entire time and was laughing and joking with everyone. We had fun with her. We loved how thankful she was that we came...amazing customer service. They had a new flavor, pomegranite blackberry...it was so delicious. My hubby and I were disappointed to learn that we couldn't buy the flavor in bottles. BUT...the great news is...they are coming out with pumpkin cider in a few weeks. Maria made us take out our phones and mark it on our calendars. We will definitely be there! One of the things I loved about the place is that they are dog and kid friendly. They have the coolest little "fort" set up for the kids. It is built into their staircase. There is also a resident dog, Corky, who is just the sweetest little thing. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I absolutely encourage everyone to go. read more

Full disclosure: we had a groupon when coming here, for "educational" tastings of the wine and cider, two pretzels, and $10 off a purchase. I know some places definitely adjust their quality of service depending on whether you're paying "full price," so this could very well be limited to a groupon experience. But the quality of service we had was NOT good. There was a large party coming in after us at the cider tasting, so the guy who was giving us the tasting was completely disinterested and made it very clear he wanted us to get out of there as soon as possible. We were basically just handed each tasting in immediate, impatient succession. We used the $10 coupon to buy a bottle of cider as well as this nice but pricey metal mug ($45) and were handed a mug that, upon further examination, had clearly been used (the insides were sticky and had remnants of some sort of congealed liquid). To be fair, when I asked for a clean cup the guy next to him exchanged it for me and apologized for his distracted coworker. We also actually didn't realize there were pretzels until later because the woman who checked us in just told us that the groupon entitled us to tastings and a $10 discount. Towards the end, we double checked and reminded them about the two pretzels - they brought us one. We didn't bother asking for the other. In keeping with the rest of our experience, it just didn't seem like they cared. I really want to like this place because the grounds are beautiful and the cider is honestly some of the best cider I've ever had (the wine was okay - they were mostly out of white wine, which is my preference, so I don't think I can fairly rate the reds). This is the kind of place that, had we had better service, we would be happy to bring our friends and out of town visitors to and purchase more bottles from on a consistent basis. But the atmosphere really soured my experience. I think I will be searching for cider from friendlier/more professional venues in the future. read more

Their wine is terrible. Their cider on the other hand is outstanding. Grounds are beautiful and love the fire pits outside. Staff doesn't really seem to have it all together though. read more

Honestly, I have nothing positive to say about this place. It is a family-run winery located in an unfinished basement of the family's home. From the very beginning we were turned off. No one greeted us and there was not enough room at the bar for the four of us, so we were finally offered a seated tasting at the only available table after awkward standing around for way too long. They served us decent locally baked bread with grocery store cheese, neither of which paired well with the wines. After our first pour the owner/wife never returned. She proceeded to chat with who appeared to be her parents or in-laws. The owners' children were the only focus as customers were ignored left and right. After literally 20 minutes since our first pour, we had to go ask for service. Luckily the husband took over, but there was still zero explanation of the wines we were being poured. At this point I really wanted to leave, but we stuck it out, as painful as it was. It turned out to be a huge waste of time since the wines were all awful and we had no place to dump them. I don't believe they were stored properly as several tasted like they had gone bad or fluctuated in temperature too many times. The bathroom is upstairs in the family's home, which was also very awkward to use. I would definitely not recommend this place due to very poor service and pitiful wines. read more

I am a major, major cider snob. I have brewed my ciders, tasted ciders all over the US, Europe, and Canada and I have a dedicated line in my budget for Quebec Ice Ciders. My very lovely partner, is a wine snob who grew up in the Noire Valley and has spent a fairly decent time in Napa Valley. Neither of us were particularly blown away with the ciders or wines since it is still a fairly new cidery/winery and the flavors weren't quite... incorporated as well. We still had favorites in the ciders and would have bought several growlers if the service hadn't sucked so much. The cider tasting was horrid. The guy doing it was on the first day of the job, and he didn't know anything about the ciders. He also gave me CONSISTENTLY 1/3 of the amount my boyfriend and all of the other customers did in each pour. Yet still, I had to pay for the tasting. We went over to try the wines, and the woman doing it was very monotone. She definitely wasn't passionate about the product or wines in general (BF got a blank look for mentioning the Loire Valley) and I found that made it harder for me to get into it. The only wine, I can honestly say I would not mind having again was the Red Blend but that won't be happening. After the wine tasting, we went back to get 2 pints of cider to sit outside. The first grass spot we were going to choose was covered in dog poop, so we chose another spot. After 15 minutes, my mother-out of-law called and asked us to pick a few growlers for a dinner party she was holding the next week. I decided to go inside to make the purchase. No one was at the counter, but I could still see the employees. I made eye contact with the two employees who had previously served us, and mimed pouring a drink. They just stared back. I rummaged in the coolers, no response, no one coming to investigate me. I was oh heck, maybe they are busy. I went to the bathroom, came back out and repeated the miming and rummaging. No response. After about 10 minutes (I had been on Cloud 9 previously) I got pissed and stormed out. I told my partner what had happened and said that while the employees had just stared at my black butt for 10 minutes, they would be more than happy to serve his white butt. He told me it was ludacris and I bet $250 (the amount I would have spent on the Ciders that I had wanted to purchase) and a dinner at 'The Source' that I was right. He went in to make a purchase and in less than 2 minutes, he was back out with a bottle in hand. How did he do in 2 what I couldn't in 10? While I was very pissed by this experience, thank you Cobbler Mountain for ensuing that I was able to buy a new, snazzy outfit for my very, very nice dinner because of your crappy customer service. TL DR: Customer Service sucks, Dog poop in grass, Customer Service sucks, Rude Employees, Bad if you are a wine/cider snob - flavors and smells "raw". read more

The wines aren't great. This winery felt like an afterthought (only public bathroom is a port-a-potty, semi-finished basement is the "tasting room," sad little vineyard has no discernible grapes, unattractive landscaping -- even in those beautiful mountains of wine country!). So very far away from everything, but at least I had minimal cell phone reception outside. They need more than one register, as it took us THIRTY MINUTES to pay for our two glasses of wine, and as the owner herself admitted that they frequently have lines that long for checkout. Don't know why you have your 10 year old running the register when the line is out the door to leave, nor do I understand why you have an iPad for checking out but only use it for the large bachelorette party at the end of the line instead of the people who have been waiting to settle their bills for longer than it took them to drink their wines. The best part of the winery was the dogs. Also, the lady who does their tastings (Corrine) is nice. read more

We went to CMC with a groupon deal. They were super nice, and while off the beaten path, it was beautiful. So peaceful and relaxing. The wines were all pretty tasty- the meritage was great and the Malbec was amazing. We bought a case of it! The staff, including the children who 'help' out were knowledgable about the wine and the cheeses they served. The honey, bread and cheese were all very good. The little shop inside also has homemade bbq sauces (got one for my dad as part of his father's day gift) and these Amazing pillow case dresses for babies. The owner gave us tasting cards to give to our friends for a free tasting and they threw in an extra bbq sauce because we bought so much. Nothing expensive, just really nice. I would recommend this to any of my friends. There are also other good wineries right in the area so you aren't making a trip 'all the way out there' for just one place. (The lack of a regular bathroom was a bummer, but certainly didn't ruin my trip). read more

During an impromptu visit to wine country, my friend and I decided to stop by Cobbler Mountain Cellars. They did not disappoint! Friendly staff, dog friendly and their ciders were perfect for a Fall afternoon. The pumpkin spice was my fave!! If you are in the Delaplane area, you must pay them a visit! read more

What a gem of a winery! We met Laura, one of the owners at the gate where she pointed out the baby raccoons that had recently been born. We headed to the tasting room where we had some fabulous wines. Although I prefer the Reds, we were all impressed with the quality of all of the wines. We decided on a whim to also try the cider tasting and are so glad we did! Unlike other extremely sweet ciders I have tried at other cideries, I'm sure there is a cider there for everyone. I liked the Hard Hop cider and my friends enjoyed the peach ginger and blackberry hop ones. All were excellent! Laura took us downstairs where her husband was bottling some cider to fill an order and showed us the tasting room as well. We then spent about an hour outside snacking on cheese while drinking a glass of our favorite wines. This is exactly the type of place you could spend an afternoon, enjoying the scenery and hearing how the winery came to be. Thank you Laura for a great afternoon! We will be back! read more

Cobbler Mountain is quite the trek but it's worth the trip! I wasn't a huge fan of the wine, but they were ok. What they excel at, in my option, is their ciders. They remind me of British style ciders (which I much prefer to the uber sweet style that is generally found here in the States) and they have multiple flavors. You can do tastings of both cider and wine and you can also buy both by the glass if you want to hang out. The property is stunningly beautiful and they have groups of chairs that you can use to hang out and spend the day. They also have a live band playing on most weekends (at least in the spring/summer). This is definitely a great place to go with a group to enjoy a nice day outside! read more

I can't wait to go back. This is what I want in a family vineyard. The wines were well crafted and the owner's did our tasting. I want the own to achieve his plans to expand. Put me down as a fan, as for Desiree D in Fairfax, you just don't get it. read more

My friend bought the groupon for a free tasting and tour for 2 people for me as a Christmas gift. Also with the Groupon comes two free pretzels. When arriving we were greeted by the owner (the wife) who was doing the wine tasting. My friend did the wine tasting and my sister and I waited to do the cider tasting in the back. When the tasting was over she paid and we moved to the back to do the cider tasting. The lady who was doing this part, was not welcoming at all. My friend is not into cider so she just stood with us and waited. She asked the lady about their cider flights and the lady gave her an attitude, so she went and sat down. After our tasting was over the lady seemed quite happy we were leaving, so we went to the front and told the owner we had our Groupon's and she said "oh those come with a free tasting". No where on the groupon does it say it comes with a free tasting and she never offered to refund us for it. So next came the "tour". We walked down to their "cellar" and pretty was told where she's getting a new fridge and that was the extent. She then brought us to the room with the Harry Potter style furniture and told us we could take a picture by the door, so she took the picture of the group of us and after she was done proceeded to say "and the parking lot is right out that door if you just want to go out that way". By no means were we ready to leave. We were going to have a bottle of cider/wine and sit outside, but we felt like we were being forced to leave. So instead, we walked back up the stairs and wanted our pretzels, but never got our pretzels because she was in a hurry to get us out the door. She was also rude about a living social deal I was going to use. Needles to say, all of us were very uncomfortable and will never be coming back. We made our way up the road to Blue Valley winery, which was amazing. read more

The lady in charge was not friendly at all. She was very rude when trying to buy cider at the end. The cider was extremely good, but the lady ruined the experience by being off putting and condescending as we were finishing the tasting. read more

This is a remote, beautiful, family-owned less than 2-year old winery. Whenever we visit, we are treated like part of the family. Yes, the wines are new and have already won some awards. If you are looking for a relaxing day with beautiful scenery and delicious wine, this is the place. read more

Tried the wines at a wine festival and the owner, Jeff, convinced us to visit the vineyard. To say the tasting room was rough was an understatement. Miscellaneous wine-themed decor thrown together and a door plunked on wine barrels for a tasting bar. The door's uneven surface required you to be extra careful when setting your glass back down lest it tip right over! The wine tasting fee is high compared to other vineyards in the area and usually the fee is waived if you make a purchase. That's not the case here. A chalk board above the tasting bar lists a long list of wines beyond what are offered in the standard tasting. We had bought 4 bottles and I asked if there was a reserve or premium tasting for the others on the board. I was told that we would have to join their wine club to taste the rest. So whatever previous reviewers said about tasting the hard cider, port, brandy, or any other types is no longer applicable. The wine club commits you to buy 12 bottles of wine to get a 15% discount which is the same as what you would get for buying a case so the only benefit would be free tastings when you come to visit. Unless you're willing to make the rough drive to the remote location to visit regularly, the wine club isn't worth it. One server was very friendly, the other one less so. The prices for the wines are pretty steep compared to other Virginia vineyards who produce wine of similar quality. It's a pretty location if you sit outside and they have some good wines, but they're not $30 per bottle good. It was decent to visit once for the pretty view but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Visited Cobbler Mountain Cellars yesterday, from Fairfax, with my husband, daughter, her boyfriend and a best friend. It was a nice January Saturday so there were a good number of people there. We did the wine tasting. Loved Lisa's mulled wine and the mimosa! We then went to the cider tasting room. The room is small but well worth the wait. There were 8 ciders on tap and they were all fantastic! My daughter and I had tasted these ciders at the Fork and Cork event in Blacksburg in April 2016 and this tasting brought back all the memories of how good this cider is! Each tasting is a generous portion so you can really get a sense of what each one is like. We purchased two 4-packs and mixed and matched the flavors. All 5 of us had multiple favorites! We then sat out near the fire pits, to enjoy the sun and pretty views, until the sun dropped down and it cooled off quickly. We then went inside again. There are not many tables but we did get to sit down and were lucky enough to meet the owner, Laura. She was delightful!! She showed us the new bottling operation downstairs and the "event room" with the coolest old medieval chairs she had collected from all over. Really neat venue. We did find out that these ciders can be purchased at Wegmans and Whole Foods so these will become regular purchases on my shopping trips. While a couple reviews noted bugs in the windows (we saw a few), and the place being small, keep in mind that this place is located near the bottom of Cobbler Mountain, out in the country, so there will be some bugs. As for the size, the operation is still fairly new and they are likely just getting a feel for how popular their ciders are becoming. The ciders truly are amazing and low in sugar. Most of the ciders were less than 10 grams of sugar per bottle! So if you want to taste amazing ciders at a pretty place in the country, this should be on your list of places to visit! It's dog friendly, too! read more

Amazing local family owned winery. Great selection of whites, reds, and ports. They have a great array of local cheeses from Upperville, Va. If you are looking for a great place to visit this should be a MUST on your list! read more
