Food excellent. Service attentive, thorough and friendly. 6 of us for Saturday brunch. Outdoor patio and lovely. Love that it's dog friendly. Watermelon salad and Mediterranean plate for me. Both excellent.Not really a wine guy but tasted a few from my wife's flight and enjoyed what I tried. Grounds are gorgeous. Would def. return. read more

Beautiful setting! Friendly and personable wait staff! We had Brunch on a Saturday, sat outdoors! Scallops were fantastic! We will definitely return! read more

Another great yearly visit when we're staying at Massanutten. Excellent wine flight served by Chris and excellent bistro lunch. Highly recommend to anyone for enjoyable wine/meal and beautiful scenery. read more

the food, the wine, the service was outstanding! ask for Andrew when you come to eat here!

Feel like I've been transported to Tuscany every time I am here! I go yearly but wish I could go more often - it's a beautiful space with food that doesn't disappoint. Their Brie Fondue and Crab, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip are some stand out dishes I've tried and loved. I've only sampled from their summer menu but, in checking out their website, it seems like their menus are pretty seasonal. I recommend it for sure and cannot wait to go back some time again and try more delicious wines and enjoy some more tasty meals and appetizers! It's a hidden gem and I think that's the charm of it. read more

Food and wine are reasons to go, scenery is a reason to stay. The prime rib sandwich and Caesar Salad are the best things I've eaten in a nice long time. The kitchen knows what it's doing! read more

Wonderful wine and even better service. RJ and Chris so welcoming and nice. Love being a key club member.

first time here and we loved it. great service. food was very good. would definitely recommen. our server Renee was very sweet and helpful.

We reserved a table for a birthday lunch celebration. We spent a decent amount of money on food and even bought bottles of wine to take home. The disappointment came when the hostess approached us and told us our table was reserved for the next group and that we needed to leave in 5 minutes. We had glasses of wine that we were trying to finish and she promptly came back to tell us that the party for the table had now arrived. And as we were trying to wrap up, I can see her, the owner's son and now the new party due to sit at our table, all peeking through the door at us waiting for us to leave. As I looked around, there were several other tables capable of supporting the party of six that was waiting. It was very unprofessional of them to stare at us and include the next guests in a quest to get us to leave. I actually had my wedding at this vineyard and the food never disappoints. Joy is my favorite wine in the valley. But if you are going to continue to have unprofessional children running the show, we are less likely to return. read more

Amazing atmosphere. They usually do mulled wine around Christmas and it's amazing. They have a really good selection of wines for all occasions. read more

Lovely grounds, friendly staff, and quality wines! I like that they offer an "only reds" tasting option since I'm not big on whites and their tasting fee is extremely modest (~$9 with tax). This is a great option if you're nearby and want to enjoy some wine in a beautiful setting! Enjoy! read more

Pros: This winery provides a lovely setting and the patio was hopping with Bistro customers and live music. Cons: We found the tasting room staff to be less than friendly. For that reason, we won't be returning to this one. There are plenty of wineries out there with staff members who are actually happy to welcome you! read more

Very much enjoyed our evening at Cross Keys. The landscape is very lovely. The patio and live music created a very nice atmosphere. We ordered the Grilled Cheese small plate, the smoked turkey sandwhich, Pulled Pork Salad, and Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie. I had the smoked turkey sandwhich woth goat cheese, apple, and cranberry aioli on a wheat croissant. It was good but a little simple. I think the aioli could be improved to make a bigger statement. The fries that came with it we unique and yummy. The hubs says the pork salad was good. The meat was cooked nicely, the beam salsa went nicely with the pork and arugula. Dont have details on the grilled cheese unfortunately. The cookie skillet was very good. I wish the ice cream wasn't so sweet but the cookie was warm and gooey. I personally didn't have any wine this time around, but we would certainly return. read more

Absolutely beautiful! The views from this vineyard are absolutely breathtaking. Not only do they have a gorgeous vineyard but their wines are great! CrossKeys is definitely in my top 5 favorite vineyards of all time and let me tell you, that title doesn't come easy from me. This place is about a 2 hours drive for me but it's so worth it. Crosskeys is located on a big lot of land with the mountains surrounding it. The actual venue is big and they have seating inside and out. They also have a full menu of food. I would recommend the caprese flatbread but honestly, most of their food items are delicious. Now to what's most important...the wine. I love their Peach wine and their Joy Red. Both are great and very reasonably priced. I just can't say enough great things about this place. Definitely stop by whenever you're in town or if you're up for a road trip. You won't be disappointed! read more

We visited several wineries during our week vacation visit, this was not the favorite but we enjoyed a few things. The wine nice but we didn't purchase any Bottles for home, just didn't connect with the winery. The land and buildings are beautiful and more "fancy" than cozy, excellent party or event location from our observations. Looked like a wedding party ended as we arrived but didn't seem Crowded and lots of easy access parking. Ordering was easy but very commercial and business driven, staff very nice but didn't take time to offer any history of the wine or offer suggestions. Fire pits all full but staff let us have a room with fireplace going. Formal round tables in the room but we moved chairs over to fireplace and made a spot to enjoy our samples. We also order small snack but portions big, we ordered 2 and lots leftover for the 3 of us - nice job on the food offerings! Lovely location if you are looking for upscale tasting. read more

My mom, my aunt and I went to CrossKeys Vineyard for the Day to do a Wine Tasting followed by Lunch on the patio. This was our first time here so we didn't have any expectations. When you first are driving up to it you can see the vineyard from a distance and it looks like a beautiful secluded mansion aka Extreme Wow Factor. You pull up to the front and you enter through these gates already decorated with Christmas Décor. We haven't even made it to the front and I was already impressed by the breath taking view! I didn't see much parking in the front but they do have handicap spots which worked out great for my mother (she walks with a cane). When you first walk in through the front you have a seating area on the left and right of you with plenty of tables and a view of the mountains. If you are arrive in the evening you definitely want to sit outside and watch the sunset! If its in the colder months they have the heated poles besides the tables. Continuing on the Wine Tasting Room is off to the right where I guess you would go to start the wine tour as we saw other people gearing up for it. They offer different prices for the tasting if you want Reds, Whites, Mixture, or Sweets. We did the package to taste both Whites and Reds ranging from Light Whites to Bold Heavy Reds ($8 pp) I have never really liked all the wines at any Vineyard but this one took the cake! I am normally a Dry Red kind of girl but I loved all from whites to the red even their Mulled Wine (only can taste if you buy it by the glass, not for sell by bottle because its made fresh daily). Whether you are a beginner or expert at tasting wine Jess was the perfect wine server. I love when the descriptions and wine pairing are described from experience not a memorized speech. She was personable, answered questions and gave suggestions on pairing wine with food, and how to make the perfect Mulled Wine. I will wrap this review up with talking of the thing I love as much as wine...FOOD! We ordered the Fried Oysters ( fried to perfection and the dipping sauce was very complimentary) and the Crab Spinach Artichoke Dip for appetizers (Came with Pita Chips, even delicious the next day). For our meals we ordered the Shelby (you will never eat another sandwich without apple slices again and paired with Brie on a buttery croissant=mind blown)w/ Chips, The Crab Cake Sandwich (lots of meat not a lot of breaking ..Yummy for my tummy!) w Potato Salad, and the Grilled Vegetable Flatbread (delicious just wish the veggies were chopped smaller so you could bite into it with ingredients falling off!) w/ Potato Salad. Obviously I had a little of everyone else dish LOL. If in Shenandoah Valley don't pass by this Family owned Vineyard! Your welcome in advance read more

My wife and I have been to many wineries in Virginia and Cross Keys is by the far our favorite. It's set on a hill with an amazing view of the roving green hills and you feel like you're driving to a classy estate in Napa Valley. The building has a great Spanish feel to it with plenty of outdoor seating. The tastings are great, but we've been so many time we always get a bottle of the Joy White (probably my favorite wine ever), a sweeter wine. They recently opened a restaurant on the property. Recently, my wife and I ordered several tapas (including the berry baked brie- amazing!) and a bottle of Joy White. Live music was in the background making this a perfect evening. Go to Cross Keys! read more

Went here for my first ever wine tasting with my partner on her 21st birthday. Not into wine but the estate tasting changed my mind about that. Amazing staff, both Kamryn and Chris were phenomenal and very personable. read more

What a pretty winery! Nice wines and an excellent menu! This is a wonderful place to spend a couple afternoon hours. We loved the Brie fondue, grilled cheese flight and the chicken sliders! Absolutely recommend. read more

I recently visited CrossKeys with high expectations because they hired a new chef. To my disappointment, the food was horrendous. I ordered the lamb and beef kebab and the meat was incredibly dry. On top of that, the rice was tasteless and the tzatziki sauce tasted like it was store bought. My husband ordered the Hawaiian poké and it was also a miss; especially for the price! The service was amazing and the staff was impressive and fast paced for how big the vineyard is. Unfortunately, the only good thing was the service and wine. Will think twice before getting a table at this place moving forward. In my opinion, get rid of the new ideas and stick to what you know how to cook. read more

A beautiful place to spend a good afternoon at. Service is slow but friendly, however, every dish is kind of sweet, from fish to steak, appetizer to entry. And they all tend to have a similar taste, makes you wonder whether they use the same sauce for everything. If you don't mind the taste of food but love a good scenery, this is the place for you :) read more

We just went today for in celebration of Memorial Day weekend and left with pros and cons. The view was spectacular and we both enjoyed our Estate wine tasting in the tasting room. Now lunch was a different story: while the food was really well cooked, seasoned and proportioned, the service let us down. Our waiter came to see us only four times in the 45-50 minutes we were seated on the patio. If you go during the this summer, I highly recommend the Fiore pink wine and the frosé slushie. read more

Beautiful venue that has a great selection of in-house wines plus a gorgeous view of the mountain skyline. This was my 2nd time dining here and the food wasn't as flood as my first experience. The view and the wine are reason enough for me to give them another try the next time that I'm back in the area. read more

Visiting from Pennsylvania and staying in Massanutten. My wife loves wine so we stopped at this local vineyard. Now I myself do not drink wine. But judging by the two 'flights' she drank. Crosskeys makes good wine. Jessica R. Was our wine barista who knew her product and did not read off the label what she was serving. The real impressive thing about Crosskeys was their scenery. Beautiful buildings, grounds and spectacular view. read more

My husband and I made this place our last stop for our honeymoon. And it was perfect! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The property was so beautifully maintained and looked like a perfect place to have a wedding at. We went inside and were quickly greeted by the employees. There was also an acoustic band playing. And they were fabulous. We sat down to have Sunday brunch first and the brie appetizer was phenomenal. We had a few drinks with brunch and then headed to the tasting room. We were greeted so wonderfully again in the tasting room. It was a lovely atmosphere, very relaxing. We tried all the wines. And I enjoyed how the waiter wonderfully described each wine before we had our tasting. We are coming back and bringing friends! The wine food and music made it a perfect ending for our honeymoon. Thank you guys! read more

My girlfriend and I attended crosskeys winery for Valentine's Day and partook in the full tasting. As expecting on 2-14 it was crowded, the employees were nice and welcoming. It was hard for them to be super personable due to the volume and I totally understand that. It's winter and seldom is scenery beautiful but I can see this vineyards appearance becoming jaw dropping come spring. My two gripes with this winery are one I simply didn't like most of their wine, and two you're charged for wine crackers! Wine crackers are quite possibly the best part of wine tasting and my girlfriend always makes fun of me for it but the crackers are great and help cleanse your pallet between wines. Anyway it's a nice winery with no crackers and expensive wine. If you go and savor sweet win make sure to try the Ali d'oro, it's adult grape juice! read more

Great brunch experience! The brunch staff was friendly and the grounds were gorgeous. The tasting room staff seemed a bit unenthusiastic but they were nice and polite. Our tour guide was amazing!!!!!!! Very sweet and had a cool sense of humor. I don't think the tour was worth $5, I'd rather a souvenir glass or tasting came with the tour like at other wineries but it was still a pleasant experience. When in the area I'd definitely come back for brunch or other activities. read more

First time visiting this exquisite vineyard. The staff was lovely and very professional, the Views were right out of a romance novel, and wine was tasty. I preferred the white wines over red, but my suggestion is to try them all. Thank you Cross Keys Vineyards for a lovely experience. We will be returning soon. read more

We did a COVID friendly tasting and then had lunch. It was fabulous. We bought six bottles of wine to bring home. The lunch was delicious and all of the staff people were very attentive. I wish we lived closer to this winery as we would be regulars. read more

Major props to the staff for a great job implementing and maintaining social distancing for a safer customer experience. Tables are outside and far apart, they take reservations, staff wear masks, the tables and chairs are washed frequently. The staff are attentive and friendly even given the non ideal circumstances. Great model for a safer reopening. read more

Crosskeys is one of the most beautiful wineries I've seen. Settled in some rolling hills inside the Shenandoah Valley, this property is comprised of 250 acres with a large variety of grapes. We enjoyed an excellent estate tasting with a cheese platter that was arguably the best I've had. Afterward, Sarah treated us to a tour of the grounds with her excellent knowledge of the place that lasted approximately 45 minutes detailing the process of how the vineyards came about. It may be a little out of the way in some cases, but this is a trip worth making. read more

I am reviewing the Easter buffet I attended there. We made a reservation one month in advance for a 4:00 seating. There were a total of 3 chafing dishes a carving station with a ham and an omelette station snd some quiches. We went up for our first plate and my husband placed his order for an omelette. It was obvious we were basically eating leftovers. The chafing dishes were almost empty and the ham was dried out. We make the best of it and return to our seats. The omelette comes. It is sooooo salty that it was completely inedible! I told my husband, ask the chef to make you another. He goes inside and the omelette station is completely gone! We had only been there maybe 10 minutes. I go back in for more ham. The ham is there but the mustards are gone. So I grab a quiche instead. So hard from sitting under lights all day I could not pierce it with my fork. They were literally breaking things down as we were trying to get our food. If you want people gone by 4 then don't take a reservation at 4!!!!! AND with tip it cost us $270 for 4 people. Our server Ashley was a sweetheart and of course we did not want her tip to reflect the disappointment of our experience. It was absolutely disgraceful. We live in NJ and we are used to paying $$ in fine restaurants. The money is never an issue when we enjoy the food. We barely got anything to eat and what we did get was dry or cold. Worst dining experience we have EVER had. read more

This was the perfect place to celebrate my friend's birthday! Our server, Sydney, was great! She had great recommendations for both wine and food choices and she did not disappoint!

Would highly recommend visiting. read more

My husband and I decided to try a vineyard for our wedding anniversary. Cross Keys was pretty easy to find traveling from Massanutten Resort. The entrance to the vineyards are absolutely stunning!!! I had to hop out and take a picture. The staff at the vineyard was very friendly and welcoming. For our tour we had Debbie. She was very engaging and friendly. The tour was short but worth it. I just wished she shared more basic info for those really not that familiar with the wine making process. The tasting was fun. We decided to try the whites and desert wines. Loved the Apple, Fiore and Joy White (of course the sweet ones). For lunch we decided to try their bistro restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! I had the crab spinach artichoke dip with bread and my husband had the brie fondue with blackberries....delicious. Overall good experience and would recommend. read more

I've been here twice in the past month or so. Jessica (darker hair one) is probably the best person to ever give a wine tasting. She does not follow what the "paper" says about the wines. I had not heard good things about CrossKeys, however it was very good. The second time I went with my sister, who has been before and does not care for their wines. Well, that WAS did not, she now really likes the wines at CrossKeys. Jessica asked my sister about her wine preferences and then served my sister wines that fit my sister's preferences. My sister had a hard time deciding which wine she liked the best. The venue itself is quite beautiful. This is a beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the view of the mountains. If you've been before, and did not care for the wines, give CrossKeys another chance. read more

Wines were terrible. Bitter. The vineyard down the street was much better. Service wasnt warm. Very cold and didnt present a great experience. We own at Massanutten and wanted to try our the local vineyard... and this one is owned by the folks who own the timeshares in Massanutten so thought it would be a good place.... NOPE. Massanutten has excellent service. The owners need to train the vineyard staff to match the custimer service level to that of the resort. Also, would be nice to have more of a lounge setting to try the wines. read more
