    Cork snowflakes
    Bobbi H.

    One of our favorite VA wineries in the Northern VA, Warrenton/Middleburg area They've been open over 29 years and grow their own grapes They offer a wide selection of both reds and whites. All very versatile wines for food pairings and just sipping. We tasted 11 wines for $10 Nice tasting room, outside seating, and a very comfy lounge to enjoy a glass of wine Friendly knowledge staff Plenty of parking Offer events and live music through the year At the holidays, they have an impressive collection of cork sculptures and snowflakes all made by the owner. My rating rationale  +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    We stopped by just on chance driving toward DC. Super nice folks. Did their tasting--but only the reds (that's all I like). Good reds and I liked the Cab Franc the best. The various areas to sit are nice and create a great wine experience.

    Still a great winery! Visited again right before New Year's and the employees are still so friendly and welcoming. Bought their amazing dessert wine for later and viewed their Christmas cork designs. Apparently they do a new design each year and if guess how many you win a prize. I'm definitely doing that for 2023.

    Vineyard, Wine Production, Cellar, and Tasting Room Entertaining tour of a 14 acre vineyard, making 12 different types of wine. Easy to find. Well organized nice people. Good experience. Wines were mildly sweat with an amazing dessert wine. Good descriptions and tour organization. Short drive from DC.

    We've been to Gray Ghost a few times and have always enjoyed our visit. Today's post Warrenton lunch, day date with my husband is no exception. Staff was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The tasting room is setup for 3 tastings at a time while maintaining separation between groups. After a tasting (at a very reasonable, it not cheap $5/person fee) there is space indoors or outdoors to sit. We sat outside, next to the vines where they have added more tables, chairs, and tens for shade since our last visit. Don't forget a ToGo case...

    A delayed review for a wonderful October visit. Small-to-medium sized by VA standards; their 4000 cases/year, 100% estate wines are from the 13 acres of vines you see as you drive by. Amazingly enough, the tasting is only $5 for 9 wines. Grey Ghost easily gets 4 stars; maybe 5 stars when the summer hits and they have a more red-heavy lineup. For those who don't know about the name, the winery is named after Colonel John Mosby, the Confederate leader of "Mosby Raiders" who's cavalry raids (aided by an exceptional spy network) gave Union garrisons in northern VA fits the entire Civil War. Drive around Loudoun County and you'll see historic markers denoting his exploits all over the place. I was extremely lucky to meet Al Kellert, one of the owners and wine-maker. Al was very humble about his success; he was a believer in Virginia wine before it was popular, and the fact Grey Ghost has been around since 1993 (!) is a tribute to his wine. What I tried: Whites: 2014 Chardonnay; made in oak although you could have fooled me (was decent). 2013 Reserve Chardonnay; just a little buttery (liked it); Victorian White Chardonnay; light but not my style. The 2014 Vidal had a strong nose but melon palate. The 2014 Gewürztraminer was OK, but I'm not a huge fan of this grape. Reds: The 2013 Ranger Reserve Bordeaux blend had strong dark chocolate palate; very nice and my favorite. The 2013 Cab Sav was just ok. Desert styles/Rose: 2014 Adieu late harvest Vidal was decent but too sweet for me. The Victorian Red Rose did nothing for me (as with many Roses). Grey Ghost has one of the cozier tasting rooms in the area. I love the upstairs sitting area, which makes me feel like I'm drinking in someone's fancy living room. But the patio is also really nice, and the vines are right there!

    Stopped at Gray Ghost after my visit to Rappahannock - tasted a total of 8 wines - all were very nice - again, I could have bought a lot of wine but with no place to put it. I restrained myself and bought only two bottles of wine - a bottle of the Victorian Red and a bottle of the 2007 Adieu - both are sweet wines, but the Adieu is a dessert wine. I will be come back here again!

    They have a great Reserve Chardonnay here. If you have the VA Wine Pass you get get two free tastings here also, so that was nice. The grounds here are nice and I am sure full of history. We didn't get to hear too much about it though because we arrived at the same time everyone else in town seemed too. It was clearly not their fault though. I stayed after the tasting and sat outside on the upper deck overlooking the lawn/vineyards. While the view was nice you could hear the highway still and see some powerlines, so it was not a complete retreat. Overall good wine and worth the visit at least once, more if you are closer.

    What a beautiful Virginia winery and an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we…read morearrived, the atmosphere was peaceful, welcoming, and truly magical. Don, the owner -- one of a kind. In a time when genuine customer service can feel like a thing of the past, Don is a refreshing reminder of what exceptional hospitality looks like. He was warm, personable, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a wonderful experience for his guests. The wines were incredible, the food was top-notch, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. We especially loved sitting by the stream, where there was a charming swinging bench and beautiful spots to relax and take everything in. We were also treated to a wonderful musician playing that evening, which made the whole experience feel even more special. This is truly a must-see Virginia winery -- whether you're looking for a romantic date night, a relaxing afternoon with family, or simply a beautiful place to enjoy great wine and good company. Top-notch wine, food, service, and atmosphere. We absolutely loved our visit and can't wait to go back!

There aren't many food options at the Farmhouse but you can bring food and there's usually a good truck just a short walk away. Children aren't allowed past a certain point on the property though. We usually come here after visiting the alpaca farm across the street. The rooms upstairs are very warm and cozy. The staff will pop in to check on you every once in a while but you can also go downstairs to get/ask for whatever you need. I appreciate that they don't hover. The people that work here are amazing. The wine is fantastic. And the property is beautiful. I've mostly been to the Farmhouse because we always come with children, but the couple of times I've been quickly up the street, the properties looked very nice and elegant. Highly recommend.

    I visited Morais Vineyards for the first time yesterday to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and…read moreI truly didn't know what to expect since I had never heard of it before. From the moment we arrived, I was completely blown away. As we parked and walked toward the field--with gazebos and a dock with seating--I immediately noticed how kid-friendly the vineyard is. The playground setup was incredibly creative and perfect for sparking a child's imagination. I honestly wish I had known ahead of time because I would have brought my little one! The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained. There were horses roaming around, which added such a peaceful charm. As we explored, I kept noticing thoughtful and unique touches everywhere--from a stunning wine tree to large decorative clay pots, and even buildings designed to resemble a Greek town that house classic cars. It all made the experience feel extra special. There was a wedding taking place, so part of the property was closed off, but it was easy to see how perfect this venue would be for an intimate "I do." Inside the main building, they offered a great selection of food, an impressive wine list available by the glass, bottle, or flight, and hands down the best wine slush I've ever had. My only critique is that it seemed like the AC wasn't working inside, and I really felt for the bartenders who were working so hard as it got busier throughout the day. Overall, I absolutely loved this place. It's one of the few spots that truly caters to both adults and children, and I'll definitely be back.

    Very nice tasting experience. Gorgeous grounds. Large tasting room with ample seating…read more 2 tasting options, wine flights or wine by the glass or bottle. Tastings come with a small snack plate of cheese, meats crackers and chocolate. Wines are primarily Portugal varietals. We enjoyed most of the wines we tried and bought a few bottles as well.

We were driving for a while without seeing many…read morecars, so we were surprised when we arrived and found that the parking lot was almost full. They have a nice, open seating area with plenty of covered space. I highly recommend bringing your own snacks or food because there aren't many food options. This place is definitely pet-friendly, too. We saw many happy puppies running around and enjoying the day. As for the drinks, they offer standard flights, glasses, and bottles. We tried the XoXo, Gold Label, and a few of their red and white wines. Some of them had impressive flavors, although I think there is still room for improvement. The service was good, and the staff were friendly. However, my biggest issue and especially for the men, is that they only have one men's restroom. I honestly don't understand the concept. With so many visitors, they definitely need more restrooms for men. Otherwise, they might end up with some very unhappy customers! Overall, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the calm breeze. I would suggest turning the music down a little so people can enjoy some conversation. And, sorry to say, but the band wasn't exactly my favorite.

From the moment…read morewe arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully planned with care and intention. Head Chef Aaron curated a beautiful five-course menu for us in advance, and every single course was exceptional. The flavors were perfectly balanced, creative, and comforting all at once -- each dish flowed seamlessly into the next and left us genuinely impressed. It was one of those meals where you pause, smile, and truly savor every bite. Pastry Chef Ebony not only created a custom anniversary cake for us -- which was absolutely delicious -- but she was also our server for the evening. Her attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care made our night feel even more special. She anticipated every need and added such a personal touch to the entire experience. We were also deeply touched by the personalized menu designed for our celebration, which read, "Happy Anniversary -- cheers to one." That simple yet thoughtful gesture meant so much to us. Sous Chef Diego and the entire team contributed to an atmosphere that felt warm, intimate, and welcoming. The ambiance was beautiful and private, and the complimentary sparkling wine was the perfect way to celebrate such an important milestone. This was our first anniversary -- the beginning of many more to come -- and Blue Rock made sure it was unforgettable. Every detail, every flavor, and every gesture reflected genuine care. We cannot recommend this place enough and are already looking forward to returning.
