Valley Road Vineyards is a laid back and chill place to enjoy good wine with your friends…read more They have tables in their tasting room as well as outside.

I recently visited Valley Road Vineyards in Afton, and they are clearly at the top of their game…read more They just took home the 2026 Virginia Governor's Cup for their 2023 Cabernet Franc Reserve, and after one glass, it's easy to see why. This wine is a standout. It opens with these incredibly lovely violet notes on the nose that transition into a spicy, well-structured palate. The finish is fantastic--long, smooth, and refined. It's exactly what you want from a premium Virginia Cab Franc: elegant but with enough depth to keep things interesting. The barn-style tasting room is lovely, providing a great rustic atmosphere, and they have excellent outdoor seating to enjoy when the weather is nice. The setting at the Gateway to Nelson 151 is as great as ever, but the quality coming out of the cellar right now is what makes this a mandatory stop. If you can get your hands on a bottle of the Reserve, do it before the post-Cup crowd clears them out.

For lunch, we had the Apple Brie and Turkey sandwich. That was such a good combination. We also had the Arugula and apples salad. It also was good. The main tasting costs $20. They also offer an option to customize your wine tasting for $30. Both provide four wines. We customized and had the Sauvignon Blanc, the Viognier, the Rose, and the Petit Verdot. All were good, and it was fun tasting such an eclectic mix of wines. The staff are kind and professional. Our server gave us a little history on the vineyard, which we really appreciated. There's no pressure to buy bottles of the wine.

There is a cozy indoor open space for seating, with some fireside seating, couches, and high top tables of four. There is a big wrap around patio also with outdoor seating with a closer proximity to the amazing views. The food options here are nice, nothing too far from meats and cheeses, but I'm okay keeping it elevated with the main thing the main thing. Their wines are mostly dry, but good especially with foods. On this particular visit my friend and I had already had lunch, so opted to share a bottle and a cheese plate. It was perfectly portioned to share and enjoy a nice friend date with scenic views. I enjoy Veritas and it's a great stop for an hour or so to wine down and relax!

I started researching various wineries and vineyards along the Monticello Wine Trail, because we had stayed at B&B in Charlottesville once a number of years ago. I settled on Afton Mountain Vineyards and I am SO glad we found it. We booked an overnight stay in one of their cabins. The very modern, well-appointed cabins can be rented even on weekdays when the winery itself is not open for tasting hours (we checked in yesterday, on a Wednesday). A sleepover at a winery! What a great thing to add to my summer adventures! The whole property is beautiful; very peaceful and serene. We enjoyed wine we had purchased earlier in the day on the back porch last evening and then coffee this morning. Our checkout time was 11:00 this morning, so we headed to the tasting room then. I wanted to try their Albarino wine. We purchased two glasses from a lovely employee in the tasting room, and sat outside for over an hour just soaking in the gorgeous scenery. They have thought of every amenity.

First off, I wish I could remember the lady's name that helped us because she was awesome! She was informative, polite, funny, and took care of us right away. The three of us did the same flight, but only two really got my attention. Definitely a cool ambience and place to hang out though. I loved the antiques and decor. We wanted to go back before our trip ended but never got the chance to. But we'll definitely be visiting again when we're back in the area!
