We were running a bit early for our hotel check-in and decided to find a winery. And, wow, did we…read morefind a great one! We were greeted by Steve, who shared info about the tasting and invited us to head to the fireplace and he would bring in our tasting flight. Because we do this a lot, we opted for a tasting flight of white, and one of red. This gives us an opportunity to taste small amounts and then decide what we might like more of. Frankly, we were surprised! The whites were not sweet - and we particularly liked the cuyoga white (sp?) so well that we enjoyed a bottle of it along with bread and oil. We enjoyed the reds a well, but just not as much as the white! Melissa kept the fire tended, it was a very nice experience to end our day of traveling.

The surprises in wine: a demi-boutielle of Paul Clouet Champagne (France); a demi-boutielle of Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand); and a standard bottle of Jeff Runquist Petit Verdot (California). For beer: Jackie O's Dark Apparition, an Imperial Stout, from Athens, Ohio. The vibe inside is laid back and yet cosmopolitan. The staff is savvy about wine and beer--not just ringing up a sale. There's a space dedicated for wine and another for beer. The establishment's name is highly appropriate. When I'm in the area, will definitely stop in to see what's on the shelves.

Employees are kind and helpful. They have a restroom in the back. I like the laid back vibe of this place. They also sell candles towards the front of the restaurant. There are different chocolates and snacks being sold towards the back of the store. This is a great place to find gifts for loved ones.

Obviously very dog friendly as we saw both some vineyard pets as well as guest dogs. Our sommelier was quite friendly and knowledgeable. Where it fell a little flat was the actual wine. The reds we tasted were very much on the lighter less robust side, which is not really our taste. For folks who enjoy lighter reds and white wines, this may be a good option.

The Symphony required reservations, which we did not have, though we were lucky to get 2 seats by a barrel table. Staff at the front counter were friendly. Wines were nice. I liked the way the flight was served! Tasting room is pretty large and there is a lot of outdoor space as well. We hope to stop back again What we tasted: 2025 Gold Medal Ornament Flight *note descriptions below are from the winery tasting notes 2023 Chardonnay: Aged sur lie for 21 months in French and American oak. The palate brings cozy notes of baked apple, vanilla, and gentle spice, all lifted by delicate minerality. Elegant and inviting. 2022 Thomas Great: This Bordeaux blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 35% Petit Verdot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon brings classic varietals together Aged 3 years in Oak and 18 months in bottle, it's powerful yet refined. Aromas of dark plum black cherry, and violet mingle with mocha, cedar, and a touch of herb. Petit Verdot adds depth while Cabernet Franc brings bright spice. Full-bodied and balanced. it finishes with smooth tannins, dark fruit, and toasted oak 2022 Petite Verdot: Award-winning Petit Verdot was aged 24 months in barrel and finished in bottle This dark rubv-crimson Petit Verdot is ready to join the holiday party. Think aromas of cigar box, worn leather, and a hint of cozy fireplace smoke- Bold dark fruit and confident tannins lead to a long cheerful finish 2023 Piebald White: Named for the rare piebald deer that once roamed the woods behind the winery. The blend artfully combines Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, and White Petit Verdot to create an expressive wine with hints of floral spice, subtie oak, and a bright finish. The label has a hand drawn piebald deer My rating rationale for beer, wine, or spirits: +1 Service +1 Atmosphere/Vibe +1 Taste/Quality (Flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the beverage) +1 Presentation (Glassware, garnishes, and visual appeal of the drinks) +1 Selection/Variety (Range of beer, wine, or spirit options and uniqueness of offerings)

We weren't aware that tastings are not offered on the weekends (oops) but it worked out because they still offered flights that come in small carafes so we distributed them amongst us, effectively having a tasting. Two of the reds were stellar, particularly the Bordeaux blend. The whites were ok, nothing crazy special. The owner is what made this place special, teaching us about the aging process and even let us try some juice from grapes that had just been harvested. It was a good time, worth the trip, and very pocketbook friendly!

BLUF: Best mead in VA. Limited seating…read more Drinks (5/5): They have the BEST mead in all of VA. They use more honey than any other meadery I've been to. Usually meaderies use a lot of juice to save money on the honey, but not this place. If you tilt their bottles, it takes TIME for that mead to shift. That's how you know it's more honey than juice. It's absolutely amazing. I haven't had a single flavor here that I didn't like. You can't go wrong with anything here. The pricing is good. It's more expensive to buy a bottle here than from Mom's Apple Pie down in Bluemont, which is weird, since this is where the mead comes from. But either way, you support an amazing business. Service (5/5): GREAT service. The owner mans the counter and is so nice and explains the different flavors and the whole process! You get a mead lesson AND get to drink. Ambiance (5/5): So. You pull up to what seems like someone's backyard with a shipping container on it. The parking lot is gravel, there's PLENTY of parking tho, so don't worry about that. Then you just walk over to the shipping container and BAM you're at the bar. There is VERY limited seating, so don't expect to bring a whole group of people here and expect to sit down. You're lucky to find 2 seats next to each other. The scent of honey lingers in the air, making the whole room smell delicious. TLDR: Great mead.

OUTSTANDING! Stopped by Misty Mountain after visiting a…read morelocal winery and was blown away by the excellant mead and oustanding service. We ordered 2 flights so we could taste all the current meads and they were all awesome, we couldnt pick a favorite. Richard the meadmaker was super friendly and knowledgebale telling us about the different meads, mead making process, and their farm/meadery. Misty Mountain has been making mead for 20 years! We have had mead from several other meaderies, this by far is our new favorite. You can order flights, mead by the glass and bottles. They also have other related merch for sale.

They have fun events and friendly service. The owner is very personable and will always wander and mingle with the guests. Small tasting room and a covered outdoor area to keep you in the shade in the summer months. The only ding is if they are crowded in the winter the indoor tasting room is small so you would have to hang out outside in the cold. They do offer a fire pit but if you're only staying for a glass of wine I rather not have a fire pit started up.

My Sissy shared a bottle of their celebration sparkling wine which was pretty tasty with just enough sweetness (4.1/5). They offer separate quarters for larger parties as well.

TL;DR: Great view, great service, but the food isn't as spectacular…read more The view here is amazing. Pick a good weather day, and you'll enjoy it. There are the usual wine and beer flights if you're unsure, like me. You go up to the bar inside and open a tab, and start ordering. The food pick up is at the attached building right by the entrance to the bigger building. There are plenty of parking spaces, so you won't struggle with that. The pizzas and pretzels we ordered were not memorable in any way. Will I come again? I might probably try a new winery. Take this review with some salt, though. I'm not a wine person. I came to hang out and sample the place if you know what I mean.

Post thanksgiving drinks and wood fired pizza before we get back to real life…read more The place is clean and structured well. I am missing the "cozy tasting room feel". But the indoor and outdoor fireplaces are a very nice touch. I tried a flight of beers. Most were exceptional. We also got a flight of wines, which was very good. My wife really liked the Ruby. The pizzas are absolutely delicious! Good options for both carnivores and herbivores. The outdoor seating appears to be ample. The weather was cold and windy today, so we opted to sit inside. We normally prefer to sit outside. There are solo stoves out for a warm fire. The view is amazing! Very beautiful. Service is good. Not as friendly as I am used to. We walked it. Looked around and the staff kind of ignored us. It was clear we weren't sure of where we were going. They noticed us and did not say hello. But once we ordered, they seemed to loosen up. The music here is also pretty outstanding. Chill, indie vibe.
