    A nice little dog friendly winery with a welcoming staff. I stopped in today to try some of their wines. I got to choose 5 wines to taste and I personally found them all a bit dry for my liking and expensive at $18 for the flight (hence the 3 star rating). My favorite part of my visit was making a new friend, Corky, one of the owner's dogs. It's a really nice place to visit, but their wines are just not for me.

    Flight of 5.

    No, you don't want to come here. . Kidding of course. So lovely it should be kept secret so it doesn't become overrun with too many of the things that ruin hidden gems. I'll say this first: the wine itself is pretty epic. There's even a fortified wine - wow! Taste 5 nice sized pours for $18. You can bring your own nibbles or they sell snacks as well. GF crackers yay! Inside and outside seating, friendly service, local hospitality, and ... growler for wine?! Cool! A little bigger that 750ml bottle. My friend was refilling hers. Next time! So delightful! And this isn't far from Richmond but far enough to feel like a country escape. The drive is also gorgeous with flowers and undulating byways. Ah Virginia...

    Cunningham Creek is practically in our backyard and one of our favorite places. They have a massive deck with plenty of shade and seating, Adirondack chairs grouped around fire pits, and beautiful tasting bars. The atmosphere is laid back. The owners are absolutely lovely and the wine is tasty. They have two winery pups who love attention and play well with other dogs. My top three wines are the Meritage, Herd Dog Red, and Viognier. Check this place out. You won't be ****Editing to add that they built a dog park recently so that you and your pups can play on a Saturday! And they are currently building a stage for their live music.

    What a welcoming warm vibe at this winery off the beaten path! We were greeted and led to a tasting bar. They have several small bars set up so you have a more personal wine tasting experience. And I was elated to see they had purse hooks! Purse hooks are an underrated perk!! Our wine steward was not only knowledgeable, but poured the samplings at an even, comfortable pace. I really enjoyed the Virginia rosé which I bought, as well as a bottle of the Petit Manseng dessert wine. I'm typically not a fan of port wine, but this one was more fruity as not as sweet as most I've tried. My partner in crime loves the Viognier. She's a member of their wine club and frequents this winery regularly where she enjoys discounts and fun events. She recently attended a "create your own succulent terrarium" craft night! They also have year round live music and they stay open later than wineries in the area, summer hours 11am-9pm! After our tasting, we sat at a game table where they have large Connect Four boards and other games. We sipped our chosen wines along with some decadent, delicious chocolates we purchased at the Farm Store gift shop. These amazing chocolates blew me away! The dark chocolates with orange nibs are outta this world. And the caramels are beyond! There's also a cold case where you can grab a serving tray and create your own cheese and charcuterie board. That's right char-coo-ter-ee lol! :-D The grounds are lovely, open and clear. There's seating on the patio, the picnic tables or around the fire pit. I'll definitely be back to this winery and I may have to join their club!!

    The white wine menu. Note: the viognier and Chardonnay are typically not both open at the same time.

    Went on a Friday and it was quiet so we had what amounted to a private tasting form their super friendly staff which was really cool. This place has a lot to offer with outdoor space for when the weather is good and cozy inside seating for the colder months. The wine was good and I walked away with a bottle of their rosé!

    Um, who would not love this place?!

    Went to visit the MIL in Virginia and notched out some time to check out the local wineries. Well, Cunningham was the last on our list and let's just say we saved the best. I was extremely impressed with not only the down home comfort but the whole operation they have created there really making them comparable to the top-bot wineries I have experienced at home in Napa & Paso Robles. Hubby and I have decided to sign up for wine club becuase the wine was amazing and who doesn't want to support businesses that deserve it? Can't wait to come back for live music Saturday's!

    Great veteran owned brewery with chill employees, great selection of beers and plenty of seating…read moreinside and outside. Husband enjoyed his flight and even got a growler fill of one of the beers he liked. Loved that they have a large selection of games to play.

    My husband and I came here with our 2 dogs a few weeks ago while in town to go hiking. We saw…read moreonline that they had a very large, pet-friendly beer garden, so we came here after a long day of hiking to relax with some beers. When we arrived, the parking lot was very full and we quickly realized that they had trivia going on inside. While working our way through the taproom to go outside, we had to walk past a table that is right next to the patio door. It had a big trivia group around it and they had a very reactive dog that lunged and tried to bite both of our dogs. Not a great start to our time there. Once we got outside, we realized we could sit anywhere because not one other person was outside. I stayed by a fire pit area with the dogs while my husband went inside to grab beers. He came back with our first round and we planned out some more places we wanted to go to in Charlottesville during our stay. Not once while we were there (for 2 hours or so) did a single staff member come out to check on us or offer to turn on the gas fire pit. My husband said that the woman at the bar the couple of times he went up there was friendly enough, but there were several other people on staff that didn't acknowledge him/us our whole visit. As it got closer to closing time, we noticed people leaving, but the parking lot seemed to stay full with the same amount of cars. I'm not sure if there is a car repair place nearby and they share parking or if 90% of the people inside decided to ride share home, but it made us think for a long time that a lot of people were still inside for trivia night. My husband went inside to close out and saw that only one other table was still there, so we packed up our stuff we brought for the dogs and went to head inside to leave after finishing the last of our beers. We took our empty glasses up to the bar and the last table inside had just left, so we were the last customers. The woman standing at the end of the bar completely ignored us, didn't thank us for coming in, and stayed on her phone the whole time. It was just super rude and only enhanced the overall unpleasant experience we had during our time there. The beers were good and they seemed like a popular spot for a trivia night, so maybe it's better to visit and stay inside, but we didn't have a good time and wouldn't come back if we are ever in town again. I did really like that they had a community area for fresh food for people in need.

Whether she is recommending pairings, guiding her guests through the menu or stepping in to support her team during a busy rush, everything is handled with confidence and genuine care. You can tell she has a deep understanding of both hospitality and operations, which translates into a space that feels both polished and welcoming. Between the exceptional service she provides and the stunning setting she helps bring to life, the atmosphere truly can't be beat.

    We found this place on a few online lists of recommended places to visit. The view/atmosphere was…read morenice, and the 2 beers we tried were good. The food was a big disappointment. We looked at the menu beforehand and were excited to try the artichoke/asparagus pizza. It was horrible, from the overly smoky flavor to the floppy, seemingly undercooked but somehow burnt middle. For $25?! The pepperoni pizza was the most palatable, although it was also floppy and really greasy. The French fries were really good, and I'd recommend those. The charcuterie board had some problems (including moldy grapes and a hair in the pickles ). Despite it being uncrowded while we were there, service was not good. This place has a lot of potential, hopefully they use any negative feedback and improve.
