The machine has an ever-changing selection of reds, whites, and rosés to either taste or get a full pour of. Both times I have attended I have gravitated to the red blends, becoming favorites of mine. The staff were really nice to chat with and I love the way out of the place, though small. I would be excited to sit outside when the weather is better, though it's just the sidewalk with a bunch of cars going by a busy street. The inside has bar seats, a small lounge area, and a high long table. Did I mention they also sell a bunch of wines, snacks, and more? They have events too, so I will have to check those out.

I found reasonably priced metered parking right outside. There's also a nearby garage. Demi was a pleasure to chat with and learn more about this business. I liked the self-serve option for tasting and/or a full glass. I was impressed with the selection of wines. My fave was the Castella D'Alba (a red blend from Portugal). They offer charcuterie options. It's not a large space so if visiting with a group, reservations are recommended! I can't wait to visit again.

I paid a reservation fee of $112 for 4 people, which includes a welcome drink (champagne) and 3 hours to drink & dine. Not sure if the recent hype justifies the reservation fee, on top of what you're already paying for the food and wines. Excellent service & friendly staff from the welcome at check-in and throughout the experience. Cute touch with the Polaroid picture they took of us outside at the beginning to commemorate our time there. The lounge area is beautiful; loved all the overall style and vibe. They mentioned they will add seating outside in June, once the weather gets warmer! They also have farm animals roaming in the grassy area in the back. Food: the menu for lunch was pretty limited to some salads, small pizzas, a charcuterie board, and a few other small bites. We ordered the margherita pizza (made with sourdough focaccia) & the charcuterie board, for which I selected salami and several cheeses. Decent food, but not filling for a real meal. I assumed there would be more menu options after reading about the chef's tasting/kitchen. The wine: for the first bottle, I ordered The Stonehold, which is a red blend. Our server told us that it was one of their newer wine offerings, limited to only 100 bottles or so and once it's gone, it's gone. We all enjoyed this wine, so I highly recommend if they still have it available. For the second bottle, I ordered our server's favorite, which was the Fieldborn (another red wine), but we all still preferred the first bottle. At $88 a bottle, although they were good, we weren't particularly blown away by the wines. Overall, 4/5 for price to value ratio and limited selection for food & wine, but 5/5 for the service and ambiance.

It was my first time visiting a meadery, and I had such a great experience! This charming local…read moremeadery is tucked away in a warehouse complex, but the inside was surprisingly spacious and cozy. I was impressed by the wide selection of meads on tap so it actually took me a while to decide what to order! I ended up building my own flight with five different flavors. Overall, the meads leaned more toward the dry and crisp side rather than being overly sweet, which made them easy to drink without salty snacks. My personal favorites were BA Knotty Soda (Vanilla Bourbon) and Blueberry Brunch. In addition to mead, they also offer ciders, beers, smoothies, and snack plates like hummus, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. Parking was also convenient, with plenty of spaces right in front of the meadery. I'd definitely come back to try even more of their meads!

The bartender at the bar was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the meads they had on tap. I ended up trying a few but settled for a glass of the tart for the heart . It was so good!

My sister and I celebrated our birthday at Rocklands Farm Winery with a group of 20+ people, and it…read morecould not have been a better experience. We reserved a private space with a private tasting, which made the day feel extra special and perfect for a large group. For many of our guests, it was their first time visiting this location, and everyone had such a great time. One of the co-founders, Greg, personally led our tasting and was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, welcoming, and checked on us throughout the afternoon to make sure everything was going smoothly. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. I also appreciated that some friends who don't drink were still able to enjoy themselves thanks to the non-alcoholic options. The property itself is beautiful with scenic views, plenty of space to relax, and such a peaceful atmosphere. We had amazing weather the day we visited, which made it even more memorable. If you are looking for a great place for a birthday, celebration, group outing, or just a relaxing day with friends, I highly recommend! We will definitely be back.

I had an awesome first experience at Rocklands…read more I joined a group of 15-20 on the first really nice Saturday of the spring season; it was fairly crowded but we got there right at opening to secure a large section of shaded picnic tables. There was PLENTY of seating still - lots of large and small tables scattered throughout the property. They also have seating inside the winery at a small bar. The wine itself was really nice; we had several bottles of the rose at the table. It was light, crisp, and easy to sip in the nice weather. I was impressed that they also had 2 non alcoholic wines; the non drinkers in our group were happy to have some options made just for them (which were delicious also). There is a third party pizza business that had food offerings; we had many different types of their pizza which were all good. Very smart to have a food option for folks to enjoy while we sip our wine. Overall, the property is wonderfully maintained and the wines meet all expectations. I'd recommend giving this spot a try if you're looking for a nice winery north of the beltway!

I ordered a glass of the white blend, which I wasn't really a fan of. The server was nice, but he was busy, so it took a while for him to return and take out orders. I ordered the crab dip for us to share. It was a good option to share before dinner. I then opted to try the spicy margarita. I actually really enjoyed it. Overall, I like the ambiance and variety of options. Although our server was really nice and apologetic, I was hoping for a better service experience. I would definitely try again and possibly go when the weathers nicer so I can sit outside.

I can't express enough how amazing the whole trip to the Bluemont Winery was…read more I was lucky enough to win the raffle package of a complimentary service from Reston Limousine and Bluemont Winery to provide a ride for me and my friends and a couple of hours of local wine tasting. Our driver, Dan from Reston Limousine, was so courteous, caring, and attentive and made our experience truly royal. He's such a gentle soul and tolerated our loud laughs while driving us to and from the winery. Even though it was pouring on the day of our trip, Dan made sure to offer us a large umbrella and assisted us in getting into a van. He drove carefully and gave us a heads-up on sharp turns and hills. The vehicle was spacious enough to accommodate 8 of us, clean, and comfortable. Communication was clear with the pickup time and location set a week in advance. It was such a memorable experience. My friends and I pledged to repeat the trip to the winery hiring Reston Limousine again soon. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to experience a royal service and spend quality time with friends and family. Trust me, you won't regret hiring Reston Limousine.

Ive been riding Reston buses with my university for now four years…read more I can say with confidence that I DO NOT RECOMMEND any Reston buses for any group. The people are fine the drivers are friendly that's the only reason why I'm leaving 2 stars instead of one. There's always something wrong with the buses. Either it's broken WiFi, broken bathrooms, dirty floors, breaking down, or catching on fire. As I write this my group is dealing with a blown tire on one of the buses trying to come back from a trip. At minimum 1/3rd of all trips have had some failure that has resulted in severe delays and a bus being taken down. I wish they were isolated but over four years it's a trend. Edit on the course of this trip another bus died on the side of the road. Updating review to one star.

It is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The farm is beautiful, the experience is fun, and it's a wonderful way to get the kids outdoors.

From the moment Carlos picked us up in his amazing vehicle, until he dropped us off later on in the day, we made the most fabulous memories together! His attention to detail was amazing. He opened and closed our doors. He escorted us into each winery. He communicated with the winery staff to make certain we were situated. He took pictures of the day, which he shared with us later. He provided a lovely charcuterie snack for us. He was a wealth of knowledge about wines and wine making and the history of the area and the beautiful vistas. As you can see, I could go on and on!! I have already recommended Carlos and Hipstoricdc to others!! Thank you Carlos for such an amazing experience!
