Hidden Brook Winery is a hidden gem! Can't say enough good things about this winery! I love the relaxed atmosphere, customers are welcome to bring kids or dogs. Food, wine and service were excellent. Might I add this is 1 of the 2 shaded wineries in the area. It was like a log cabin retreat in the woods. It felt like the wineries I used to go to back in Malibu. If you would like a break from the packed wineries where you struggle to hear conversation and are longing for a more intimate laid back experience, look no further! Make sure to check out some of the beautiful art and jewelry made by local artist Twisted Halo before you leave! Or some of the fun events they have monthly. This is the "Cheers" of wineries. Friendly staff and inviting atmosphere! read more

My husband and I came here after a really fun spontaneous date day spent at Lost Creek Winery and Barnhouse Brewery right down the street. Hidden Brook was close by so we figured we might as well check it out. It was the perfect place to just relax - cozy login cabin vibes and a huge stack of games. We ended up splitting a tasting and playing Boggle. The wines were good, but nothing remarkable. I can see us returning on a winter or rainy day for more wine and games. read more

Stopped in on a whim and was not disappointed. With the log cabin vibe, one immediately feels a sense of cozy intimacy. Upon entry we were greeted by patron's roaming dogs! There are not many businesses where you can bring your dogs inside! Loved it. You can also bring your own food. read more

If you're looking for a cozy, intimate wedding venue with fall vibes, Hidden Brook may be the one for you. Here's why: 1. When we toured Hidden Brook, the managers Angel & Dan put us at ease & we knew that they were going to be the best people to work with among all the other venues we toured. Hidden Brook was also the only venue that pitched to both my husband & me, not just me as the bride. 2. Throughout the planning process, Angel & Dan were extremely communicative & helpful with addressing any concerns that came up. These included catering, furniture rental, sound, weather, evolving guest needs, etc. 3. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, they put their best foot forward. The floors were re-polished & the gazebo where the ceremony would take place was power-washed. They also worked with us to come up with contingency plans, as we had an evolving situation. 4. On the wedding day itself, the Hidden Brook team (owner Eric, managers Angel & Dan, & another team member Nora) were helpful with problem-solving various issues with setup. We were able to do a mixed indoor/outdoor reception, with our guests enjoying a beautiful sunset over the fields next door. They were also proactive with teardown, taking care of the outdoor teardown while we were inside during the reception, so the teardown for us & the bride & groom party took less than an hour at the end of the night. All in all, we could not recommend Hidden Brook enough. On top of being a beautiful, homey venue, the venue staff were incredibly professional & easy to work with, which goes a long way when planning a wedding. read more

We came here 17 years ago during an pre marriage celebration with our friends. It was a brand new winery, one of very few at the time. We rediscovered it today by chance, exploring the area, and were elated to see time hadn't changed it one bit: just as quaint and precious as it was then. Unlike the larger ones that lost their attractiveness over the last few years in a commercialized expansion on account of service and offerings, this place kept its intimacy, quality, and value. We were also excited to find two outdoor fire-pits for cold days seating out in the beautiful surrounding tree stand. Wines are just as good or better than average, club offering is very reasonable, and food quality is way above what is normally served at these establishments. To top it off, they are very people and dog friendly, which is hard to find anywhere nowadays. We live in Leesburg and always drove down to route 50 to enjoy an afternoon of winning and dining. No more! This is the place for us and you if you like this type of intimacy and quality just around the corner. Almost like our neighborly local pub. More reviews as we continue exploiting the benefits of our club membership. Check out the photos of this place and offerings. read more

Our favorite VA winery! Our dogs love it too!! Delicious wines, cozy relaxed vibe, and welcoming to both us and our pups. Perfect place to cool off on hot summer days in the shady cabin or cold days enjoying the fireplace or outdoor firepits. We have been members for years and still love spending a quiet afternoon enjoying the food, wine, and chatting with staff and owner or playing a game with friends. read more

I visited Hidden Brook Winery one hot and humid Sunday afternoon. Thank goodness for good air conditioning in the tasting room! I opted to taste the entire slate of wines - whites and reds. I had two different wine pourers during my tasting. Overall, the wines were enjoyable and the staff was friendly and answered my questions about the winery and their wines. The tasting concluded with a sampling of their white and red wine slashes. Cool and refreshing! The staff was friendly and interactive. I'd come back here again! #HiddenBrookWinery read more

Friendly service, pretty location with lots of winery neighbors. Maybe not my first stop, but I'd repeat it as part of a wine trail. They have an impressive selection of older vintages, and serve excellent Panini sandwiches. Hidden Brook and neighboring Lost Creek were originally part of the same winery family but several years ago Lost Creek was sold. Fortunately Hidden Brook is still going strong, with an emphasis on fruit forward Italian style wines. A full tastings is $12 for 10 wines, using locally sourced grapes. 2500 cases/year & 22 acres of vines. I liked a few from my tasting, but overall fruit forward wines are just not my style. But that probably says more about my palate than their wines. 2010 Chardonnay; pretty decent, fermented in both steel and neutral oak. 2012 Reserve White; off dry 2012 Vidal Blank; honey nose and somewhat honey on the palate Reds; 2010 Merlot; dark fruit 2012 Reserve Merlot; very nice (and I had a glass). 2012 Reserve Chambourcin; another one that I enjoyed, and not quite as fruit forward as I'm accustomed to for this grape 2012 Reserve Cab Sauvignon; very fruity nose, drinkable but didn't do anything special for me 2010 Cab Sauvignon; much softer than I expected for a vintage from a stellar year; maybe the tannins softened it up quite a bit 2012 Reserve Red; very nice 2011 Chambourcin; bad year for VA wine but this was excellent, and unexpectedly peppery read more

Very nice wine flight selections and solid food servings. Great for a date night! Loved it!

Great place! This was our last stop on our 3 winery, wine tour. The employees were super friendly and welcoming. We were rolling with a group of 12 and most did the wine tasting. Myself and 2 other ladies purchased a bottle of sweet wine and sat at a table while the rest of our group was tasting. The atmosphere is cool. Picture a rustic log cabin inside...that's what it was. Cozy, warm, welcoming. It wasn't busy in here either since it was getting later in the day. Definitely would come back here again! read more

I'm with the other reviewers wondering where the grapevines are at Hidden Brook Winery. Are there any? Unfortunately the girl doing our tasting didn't mention anything about the winery itself and its workings. She was supremely pleasant and lovely, however. Our winery-freak friends who were escorting us around on a Potomac Circuit wine tour have been to Hidden Brook many times and know her quite well at this point, so all 8 of our tastings (a "dry" and a "sweet" for each of us) plus three bottles of wine were all comped! She told us the owners of the winery don't mind at all... The wines themselves here aren't super impressive. Included in the Dry Tasting were an '08 Chardonnay, '08 Reserve Red, '07 Cabernet Sauvignon, and '07 Merlot. None of them particularly stands out in my mind, although the Merlot was probably the best of the bunch. In the Sweet Tasting (I shudder just thinking about sweet wines) were an '08 Rosé, '06 Reserve White, '06 Vidal Blanc, '08 Sweet Amber, and '07 Late Harvest. The last four tasted like simple syrup to me, with the exception of the Late Harvest which tasted like watery simple syrup. Of the lot the Rosé was the most palatable. Wines themselves would get 2 stars, but the people working here get 5, and the setting gets 3. The tasting room is a rustic log-cabin building set back in a pine grove with enormous trees. There's a porch and a patio area where you can enjoy your wines and cheeses or charcuterie -- available in the tasting room for purchase -- in a shady clearing...next to the neighbors' above-ground pool. At the time of our visit, their bathroom was out of commission, tho: not at all convenient when the whole reason you're there is to get your drink on! Not sure I'd go back if I had to pay for everything... read more

Tiny spot.... very dark on the inside. The advertised art show was a handful of small water colors. Did the tasting... and moved on. This is a one visit only. Not worth the repeat. read more

I am basing my review solely off of the winery's Harvest House, which is used for private events such as the wedding I recently attended. The House is beautiful, spacious, and well decorated. There are two bars located within the house and several dining/seating areas for socializing. The vineyard is a short walk from the House and also provides excellent scenery for a wedding. There is a patio area with limited seating but several high top tables. My biggest complaint regarding the House is the fact that there is only one downstairs bathroom. There is also one located upstairs, but it can be difficult to find if you're not exactly sure where to look. Usually for private events such as weddings, the upstairs area is reserved for the bridal party which can make it difficult for regular guests to find. The service at the bar was wonderful and the waitstaff was friendly. The House was air conditioned, which was perfect for a summertime event! read more

Probably the best winery we visited on our recent tour. Friendly & welcoming service which started our day. One of the few places to offer me a free water as I was a designated driver to what would become two very tipsy ladies. When they have a wine that even I like, you know the place has to be good. read more

I really liked the wines here. We had a tasting and didn't have time to stay for more, but I would go back. The property is really wooded and serene. The inside is dark and cool. They had some cute items for sale inside. read more

We really enjoyed this winery nice log cabin atmosphere, the wines are absolutely great, this is a must stop on your wine tours, check out their vine membership 3 bottles $60.00 every quarter 20% off you wine purchases. Nice fire pit, they have a comedy night. All around it is a wonderful small winery. The chardeney is extremely good. Wow if you do a check in on Yelp you get $5.00 off on a bottle of wine read more

Not impressed with either this vineyard or the Lost Creek vineyard next door (and I believe they're owned by the same people). The wines were a bit too heavy on the sweetness and the reds (eg. The Chambourcin) were too acidic for my taste. Not sure why a glass wasn't included in the tasting with the fee paid--seems a glass imprinted with their name is good, free advertising for them? Staff was disinterested/annoyed--I was trying to find out where to pay for my tasting and a staff member gave me a dirty look because I was apparently in her way. Last straw was that they didn't have a bathroom and sent us to a stinky Port-A-Potty! Cabernet/merlot were pretty decent but I have gotten better bottles of both for half the price at Calvert Woodley in Van Ness, and probably Trader Joe's too. Would not return. read more

I visited here with a group of friends for my birthday. We had a great time! The place was surprisingly still empty when we arrived for our 1 pm tasting on a Saturday. I won't complain though. They took us to a corner as we were a group of 14. The lady doing our tasting was well versed with their 7 different wines. Our groups favorite was the reserve white! She warned us this would be the wine you grab and wonder where it all went. It was sweet and full of fruity flavors, mainly apple. We ordered 3 of those, 1 rosé, and 1 Chardonnay to drink there. Loved that they were all available chilled. They let us know we could bring outside food in to eat so that's what we did. They have a dining room feel inside with a lot of tables and chairs. Our group was able to enjoy an hour there. Loved that there was live music playing. By the time we left there were many groups coming in. If it weren't for the heat, we would probably have spent more time outside. They have a few corn hole sets available for all guests. There was no view as it looked like a cabin in the woods, but overall a wonderful place with friendly employees and tasty wine! read more

Hidden Brook Winery - Reserve white wine - Wineries Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

We went there for a s'mores and wine event - and I'm using the word "event" loosely. The advertisement led us to believe that the s'more were part of the promotional tasting package. We got there and found out that it was an additional $12+tax for a small box of graham crackers, 1 bar of Hershey's, 1 bag of marshmallows and 4 sticks with a Walmart label. Too expensive and definitely misguided! Since we were there, we got a $12 tasting (10 wines) each. The samples were hardly one sip. Not to mention, they ran out of one wine of the 10 and didn't even offer to replace that with something else. The food was also too expensive and nothing to write home about - felt like overpriced Costco food. Overall, I would never go there again. Northern Virginia has better vineyards and wineries with better wines and more bang for the buck. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The wines are some of the best in the area. I particularly enjoyed the reds. The food is outstanding and the pizza has a great balance between bread, pizza, and cheese. It has a ton of flavor. I'll definitely be coming here again soon. read more

Quaint little place, very friendly staff. Had a good selection of wines and their Rose wasn't too sweet or dry. Their tables are all located outside and well separated, no worries about being to close to others. Would definitely go again. read more

What an AMAZING venue. Perfect venue for our daughters bridal shower. The location has beautiful scenic views which makes it the perfect location for sitting outside to sip on wine. The staff was very professional and educated on their brand which is a huge plus. Thanks for making our bridal shower PERFECT! read more

Staff were friendly. The cabin was nice. No views to speak of. I did not like the wine. Unfortunately it just wasn't my taste. The reds were lacking. I typically prefer bold reds and these were very light. I did like that they were dog friendly because I had my dog in tow. Do not think I will be returning. read more

In the corner (kind of away from the other wineries) of the Leesburg winery stretch is this cute log-cabin-looking establishment. There is a nice little outside area where you can sit and enjoy a bottle of wine, or there is plenty of space inside. It was fun walking around looking at the merchandise. I felt like it was so empty, though! There weren't a lot of other people tasting, and the floor was wide open. It didn't feel as home-y as I thought it would be, given the exterior! The staff was somewhat friendly, I felt like they could've been more engaging and informational, though. read more

If you like sweet wine, hit this place. After tasting of 10 for $3, which starts with sweet wines and gets sweeter and sweeter, you will have a double buzz from alcohol and sugar. We bought a bottle of Merlot, a nice table red with a hint of oak and probably the least sweet. The lady (her husband is the wine maker who is a son of the owners of Lost Creek Winery next door) was nice and charged two of us for only one tasting fee. Ladies beware, they only have porta potties. read more

Some sweeter wines here, which is not really my favorite. They used to have a great Chambourcin, but this years batch was not as good as they had in the past. The place is nice though and the staff is friendly. If you are in the area it is worth stopping by. They had some live music on the weekends which was pretty good. read more

This place is a cute little log cabin in the woods that serves wine. Nice and quiet and secluded. We came here when they had live music and it was pretty nice. So my swaying from all the wine could be set to music. Nice! Everyone that works here is nice and knowledgeable. If someone doesn't know an answer to something, they're happy to find out for you. The standout wine for me here was the Rose. You have NEVER had a rose like this. Ever. It is light with a slight lemony taste that made it go well with some salmon that I made. There is another winery behind it (they are all family) and I love going to both of them. Just another way for me to support Virginia wines, which I absolutely LOVE. read more

This was my second winery of the day and it was awful. The person assisting us was uninformed about the wine and not terribly helpful. The wine itself was horrible, easily the worst Rose I have ever tasted and I love Rose in almost its forms. The reds were flat and the dessert wines were actually offensive. Maybe they are in transition, but I would not visit here for at least a year, things might have improved. read more

Horrifying wine. Nice people, but really bad wine. I don't see any vines, so I have to suspect bulk juice is used to make this stuff. No aromas, lots of sugar in most of them, a little oak, no fruit profile with the exception of the Chardonnay, and that's just barely better than one-dimensional. Deeply, deeply flawed wines with musty aromas, no acidic balance to the sweetness. Yuck. read more

Some great wines with a unique, rustic atmosphere. A welcome relief from standard stuffy wineries. Their options run the spectrum from dry to sweet and everything in between. And they are able to do it with limited varietals. Ken is a modern Dionysius with his knowledge and passion for wine, but the whole experience is a good time. read more

Hidden Brook is family run hidden Gem! The wines come is all varieties and are sure to please any pallet. The staff are always friendly and have a good knowledge of their wines. Dogs are welcome inside and out and there are outdoor games and sitting areas. Their wine club membership is a great deal and comes with a ton of perks! read more

Hidden Brook, hidden in Leesburg, was a decent little winery. We had just gone to Lost Creek, which was terrible, so it wasn't going to take much to please us at this point. I was not a fan of many of the whites. The reserve white was made with Niagra grapes and reminded me of the Finger Lakes wines. The reserve red was decent and I enjoyed and purchased a bottle of the Cabarnet. read more

Hidden Brook Winery - Wineries Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

We had been here about a year ago and weren't incredibly impressed with the wine, but the service was good, so we decided to give it another chance. Wine was meh, service was meh. We were the only people there (probably for a reason), and the woman pouring was far more interested in her cell phone than her job. I understand that occasionally an emergency may come up and you need to step away to handle it, but her conversations were not indicative of such, and instead just seemed to be chatting with friends to catch up. None of the wines jumped out at me, and the prices for bottles weren't worth it. Given the multitude of vineyards in Northern Virginia I would think that, to be competitive, one would need to have good wine, affordable pricing, or good staff, but this one didn't check any of those boxes. read more

We came here after visiting the Tarara Winery and it was like night and day. I would actually give this place three and a half stars, because the wines were not the most amazing, but still good. We welcomed this place with open arms because of the intimate//cozy setting of this place. We were at the Tarara Winery forever for one tasting because they were too big/busy, so when we arrived here (hidden away, hence the name), we sighed a big breathe of relief. We walked in and were only one of the 3 small groups in there. (Groups meaning 2 or three people, including a family sitting outside at a picnic table). The outside is small, humble but very pretty. The flowers that welcome you as you walk up to the building are picture worthy. We were greeted immediately, but a lady on her first day of the job. She did a pretty decent job, although reading off of the cheat sheet, but we don't fault her for that. There was some guy playing a guitar, quite well may I add, and it was just relaxing. Although, I wish the echo would have not been so loud. We enjoyed our tastings and then used the bathroom, and let me tell you, as far as bathrooms go, this one is top notch. It is about the size of our bedroom. lol. We would have stayed longer, but wanted to make it to one other place. I am glad we could check this one off of our list. They have been around since the late 90's, and seemed like a tight-knit group of people. read more

I hadn't been to Hidden Brook for years. I'm glad I revisited! Simple and quaint tasting room. We were greeted immediately with a smiling wine lady, Nora! She was very welcoming! She helped us through our tasting with knowledge and fun and a leisurely pace. The wines were quite palatable and I was surprised at the smoothness and complexity of some of their reds. There was some nice acoustic music playing at a reasonable level which was very enjoyable- yet we could still communicate easily with Nora. I'll be back. read more
