The people behind the bar for the tasting were very nice to talk to as well. The wines were great. I loved the Vermentino in particular but their Viognier is also one of the better ones I've had in Virginia. Their reds were decent nothing that blew my mind but all very nice. The tasting experience is well priced and I would definitely recommend. I ended up having a cheese board in the library which was well worth the cost. Overall one of my favorite wineries in Virginia

The windows overlook the property, which interest also includes a mom-golf course for visitors to enjoy. They allow you to bring your own food, as they have a small selection of food offerings. We tried their flatbread, and it was very good. I tried the white wines, and they were very good, with the exception of the Sav Blanc, which wasn't on the menu, but was available. You ordered at the bar, and the servers were fast and friendly. You can enjoy you wine at several tables outside too. It's a nice location.

We briefly chatted with the staff and said we would come back later. We came back after 1pm the same day. My wife got a flight of four wines. I got a glass of Meritage. We sat out front near a fire pit. It was so nice just sitting there, letting the sun warm your face. It got crowded as we "people watched". They had live music @ 2pm but we didn't stay for that. One of the owners chatted with us for a bit. She was very nice. The staff inside were also very kind and helpful. They young lady from Ohio who served us was super helpful and we would like to say thank you to her for great service! The wine was excellent. We bought three bottles of the 2019 Meritage. Very good. We will be back !

You can choose how many wines you'd like to taste for different prices. They took the time to tell me about their wines and give advice on which ones I might enjoy based on my taste.

It's a welcoming place and I'd definitely stop in again when I'm in the area

Then I remembered what I was looking for, thinking of the last vineyard we visited, not pretentious. The smell of the earth mixed in with what farmland smells like is intoxicating. The service by the extremely friendly, next door neighbor like female that tended to us was the best. We came in about 30 minutes before the place closed and felt so bad for not being aware of that and instead of making it well known that they were about to close she welcomed us in as if we had the whole afternoon ahead of us. We only had a glass of wine each due to us coming in so late but the wine we had was so good we are taking a bottle with us. There have been very few places that have made me feel as at home as this place has. Though, not only at home but made me feel transported to a place where time stands still and you get to just take a breath in and forget about all the stresses of every day life while enjoying a good glass of wine. Needless to say we shall be back.

With so many positive reviews, how could we go wrong? They set us up in the cutest little private cottage and we're so sweet. Unfortunately that's where the charm begins and ends. We got five different wines to try. The bubbly was good but the rest were awful. No one in our group of ten found them even remotely drinkable. The one red was so acidic, my friend was up until 4:00am with an upset stomach from the acid burn. It's incredibly disappointing how bad the wines are given how cute the space is and how friendly the staff is. We went back to our Airbnb and opened our own bottles afterwards to cleanse our palattes.

The inside wasn't very decorated, and didn't have that many seats. It seemed a bit bare. I wanted to get the frozen drink, but they said they had run out.

There is very limited seating in the indoor wine bar--two small tables is just about it. If they don't have a wedding or other event, the large barn-like event space is open with seating, but its cool and drafty so if you're hiding from the weather it is not ideal. They have a very small food menu and offer a rotating menu of cider flights and cocktails. Generally, ciders are quite dry, not at all like angry orchard or redd's (for comparison). The cocktails are fun and creative. I loved having the option for a hot drink in late December. At some point, I'd love to be able to come when the weather is beautiful and can take advantage of their outdoor wine bar, fire pits, and view. Ample parking, though as you follow the road up to the winery, you move from gravel to packed dirt. Parking can get quite muddy as it is just grass/dirt, and there can be some deep tracks left from cars in previous weather. Definitely not a reason to skip this place, but something that we noticed as we were coming/going since we were in a very small car.
