There are 3 wineries in this family and we are excited to try the other two on our next wine adventure.

This winery was beautiful easy drive and had some wonderful views as you slipped on your wine.

We did enjoy this. Will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.

We shared a white wine flight and it came with one rose. Most wines were on the sweeter side which I loved. We loved their seating areas looking into the scenic vistas and their seats were very comfortable. A patron was also playing a guitar which beautifully added to the ambience. There is also a very short hike down to a nearby waterfall which imo is worth doing! We brought our dog and she loved the hike as well. It was just a little bit of work to get down the slope to the hiking trail. We will definitely come back if we're in the area again!

Nestled on the top of a hill overlooking the grape hedgerows, Star in the Valley's tasting room is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a glass or 2. Ample seating for all group sizes, we came on a Saturday afternoon and had no problem grabbing a table. Service: 5/5. The staff operating the tasting room we're great! Very helpful in offering recommendations and giving us a brief background story of the vineyard. Wine: 5/5. I have always held mixed feelings for Virginia wine, however Star in the Valley's offerings were decent. We opted to do 2 wine flights which allowed us to try their entire wine portfolio. Highlights from the tasting we're the Cab Franc, Chardonel and the dry rose. All in all, fun wines and an even better atmosphere!

Once I found out Delaplane Cellars was Black-Owned, it was a no-brainer. This winery is impeccable! The views of the vineyards, fields, mountains, and the cellar itself as you drive up are breathtaking. Making a reservation was a breeze, as was the check-in process. As I was waiting for my college friend and her husband to arrive, I was able to taste a couple of reds before I went outside to our table. The live music inside added a nice touch to the venue, and the inside has such an elegant look and feel, with comfortable seating and windows to take in the sights. There are multiple levels where you can sit outside, and we were on the top. Again, breathtaking views of the fields. The first wine I tried was the Adjacency. One of the smoothest wines I've ever had. The same could be said about the Rusticity. Both hit just the right notes with each sip. When my friends arrived, we caught up and put in food orders and a bottle of the Adjacency. We ordered the Virginia Sampler charcuterie board, fresh-baked baguettes, and the pepperoni flatbread. All of which hit the mark for our hunger and pairing with the wines. The Cabernet Franc was uniquely tasty, with a subtle bite to it. The rest of our time, we ordered a bottle of the Viognier and Rose. One huge plus and takeaway is that none of the wines we tried were overly sweet, even the Viognier with its white peach, melon, and jasmine flavors. The rose was our last bottle before we departed. If you want a luxurious winery experience with amazing staff and even better wines and views, Delaplane Cellars is your place!

The Symphony required reservations, which we did not have, though we were lucky to get 2 seats by a barrel table. Staff at the front counter were friendly. Wines were nice.

We hope to stop back again What we tasted: 2025 Gold Medal Ornament Flight *note descriptions below are from the winery tasting notes 2023 Chardonnay: Aged sur lie for 21 months in French and American oak. The palate brings cozy notes of baked apple, vanilla, and gentle spice, all lifted by delicate minerality. Elegant and inviting. 2022 Thomas Great: This Bordeaux blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 35% Petit Verdot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon brings classic varietals together Aged 3 years in Oak and 18 months in bottle, it's powerful yet refined. Aromas of dark plum black cherry, and violet mingle with mocha, cedar, and a touch of herb. Petit Verdot adds depth while Cabernet Franc brings bright spice. Full-bodied and balanced. it finishes with smooth tannins, dark fruit, and toasted oak 2022 Petite Verdot: Award-winning Petit Verdot was aged 24 months in barrel and finished in bottle This dark rubv-crimson Petit Verdot is ready to join the holiday party. Think aromas of cigar box, worn leather, and a hint of cozy fireplace smoke- Bold dark fruit and confident tannins lead to a long cheerful finish 2023 Piebald White: Named for the rare piebald deer that once roamed the woods behind the winery. The blend artfully combines Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, and White Petit Verdot to create an expressive wine with hints of floral spice, subtie oak, and a bright finish. The label has a hand drawn piebald deer My rating rationale for beer, wine, or spirits: +1 Service +1 Atmosphere/Vibe +1 Taste/Quality (Flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the beverage) +1 Presentation (Glassware, garnishes, and visual appeal of the drinks) +1 Selection/Variety (Range of beer, wine, or spirit options and uniqueness of offerings)

He was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable, and really took his time with our group. Their tastings are set up so that wines are paired, allowing the guests to really taste the differences that elevation, years/weather conditions, soil, etc. can make. You know how some wines say you should smell flint, and then you're left wondering what the heck that's supposed to smell like? They don't leave you wondering here. We got to smell flint and then smell our wine so we knew what notes we should be picking up. I absolutely loved it, as did my friends. The dry Riesling and 2019 were my favorites. Their chardonnays were a true standout. I've been raving to all of my friends about my experience here and cannot wait to return!
