Extremely good, like a moscato. The food: The burger 15/10 The crab dip 9/10 Grilled Cheese 8/10 Dessert: Wine cakes 50/10 SOOO WORTH IT! I believe the tent comes with one of the charcuterie boards - Le Grand Cru Platter. I honestly thought it was alright, not the best sprays I've had and the bread was hard. I'd give it a 7/10. The winery cakes were PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I was IN LOVE. They apparently soak it for many hours in their wine. I highly recommend it! Both the strawberry and vanilla one was great, but I really enjoyed the strawberry cake. Apparently you have to order 3 days in advance. The tent was actually pretty warm if you kept it zipped up. There were two heaters in the tent. I think we got the tent for 12 people, but it comfortably fit 10 people. Overall I highly recommend this winery, I would TOTALLY come back !

It feels like a little getaway from the city, while still being close enough for a day trip. It's also not far from I-66, which makes it very convenient to get to. I really enjoyed the red wines, and the wine flight was right up my alley. The service could be a little slow when they get busy, but the outdoor seating was perfect for a group of four. Reservations are highly recommended. The only issue I noticed was that some guests were wearing very revealing outfits while taking selfies and photos, presumably for IG or something elese. I personally felt that this took away from the otherwise peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Maybe they should have some type of dress code.

The wine list includes sweets/dessert, seasonal, whites, and reds. You get a little bit of all of these when you choose a tasting.

I love that there are several options for seating. Past reviews led me to believe it is all open air, but there is a small seating space inside the tasting barn where the bar is. Granted, it still has open airflow, but can be mostly closed in during inclement weather. There are also two lawns with a hard separation--one for families and an adults-only space, which seems like a good way to be inclusive of both families and adults who are tired of children running wild at wineries/breweries. The wines were delicious, and of the ones we sampled the Cab Franc was excellent. I did like the Viognier, but it was a little too mild-flavored for me.

It's closer to Fairfax than many other wineries. I wish I had taken more pics to show helpers how nice it was.

I was given top notch service from the fantastic/ knowledgeable hostess and provided much- needed wisdom between the differences of the 4 recipes.

I am convinces that I will love any of these honey wines! Update- the wines were popular at the party! I cannot wait to sit out on the beautiful patio with a slight breeze to enjoy a tasting and perhaps will bring take-out Ethiopian cuisine with it! +- parking shared up front + hospitality + plenty of seats + high quality products + clean room and patio

Very nice vineyard. I found their glass of wine to be a bit expensive, but the chardonnay I…read morepurchased was fine. The grounds are rather hilly. It's a beautiful setting, and sits next to a regional park with a nice hiking trail. Parking here is a bit tricky they have more than one lot. Just know walking about the grounds isn't the easiest because of the hills. (Elders may find walking about difficult). There was a small wedding taking place during my visit, which added to the charm of the setting.

The grounds are amazing--surrounded by trees and rolling hills, with a vineyard nearby that really adds to the atmosphere. On a nice day, it definitely gets busy--almost every picnic table was taken when we visited--but there was still plenty of seating inside and on the patio. They had a food truck on site, and you can also order charcuterie platters at the counter. I liked that you can bring your own picnic too (just no outside alcohol). They are also dog-friendly! I was a little surprised to see so many kids, but thankfully parents were keeping a close eye on them, so it didn't take away from the experience. There's a solid selection of wines available by the bottle or as tasting flights, so it's easy to find something you like. Tastings at the bar with a wine educator are a nice touch, though they can be a bit limited if the place is really crowded. The only downside was that they seemed a bit short-staffed during, so tables weren't cleared as quickly as they could be. That said, there are plenty of trash cans and bottle bins around, so it's easy enough to help keep things tidy. Overall, a great place to unwind with friends, enjoy some wine, and soak in the scenery--just be prepared for crowds on nice days!

There's 3 gates - the first one is general admission and the second one is 21+ only. If you're going with a group, make sure to tell them which lot you're parking in and where to find you since it's very easy to get lost. There's sooo much seating and it looked like you can make reservations for groups, so the ambiance is great for big parties or to celebrate an occasion (like a birthday or bachelorette). You can either be indoors or outdoors, but this place is very conducive to any type of group energy. Also, there's so much scenery and seating, it's soooo beautiful - great for pictures. To order food, you place an order outside at the barn and get a pager. It'll buzz and let you know when your food is ready for pickup. You can also order wine downstairs by the bottle and get as many glasses as you'd like for sharing. There's also a small gift shop as well. The food was expensive, but good quality overall. The chicken strips and fries with a peach tea was $20, but the vibe was worth it so I didn't really mind. I'd definitely come here to celebrate something with a group!

Please be mindful that parties of 9 or more require a $100 non-refundable fee (doesn't go toward the bill). They have alot of seating options! There's signs up saying that it's 21 and over but I did see a few strollers. Maybe it's different for private events?! Call ahead to find out! One great thing about this place is that they allow you to bring your own food! Many places don't. They also have a kitchen with a few options. A few of my friends got the flatbread and the crab cakes, which they enjoyed. We tried a few different wines. My fave was the still rose! Cheers! Until next time!

We have tried literally the entirety of the menu! I prefer their white wines and very crisp and current weather appropriate. They have a rule of 1 bottle per person only. If there are 5 of you and you want to buy 6 bottles, it will not work! 3. Food: they have very good warm bread, charcuterie, flatbreads and food options. They are quite good especially for a winery. 4. Interior is nice and simple. Outside seatings don't always have an umbrella, so make sure you clearly state it when you reserve. 5. There is a grocery store with very good sushi just 4 mins away if you want better food!

I don't like sweet wines at all which is an East Coast thing and the whites were like drinking dessert which a lot of people like.

I would give good marks for the staff being very courteous, but this place just wasn't my jam.
