In my opinion, these are the best wines in Northern Virginia, with Glenn Manor being a close second. Three of us did the cellar tasting with the owner, and it was a great experience. I don't know that much about wine, but I have plenty of questions, all of which were answered expertly. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. The cellar tasting is $15 and you try seven wines that aren't on the regular tasting menu. There were three chardonnays and three reds, each from the same vintage but different vineyards, and we got to compare the taste of each. Then there was one dessert wine. It lasted about one hour and it was really worth it. I personally don't have a problem with their policy of letting only club members sit on their deck. It seems that the owner just wants to keep the place quiet, since he lives there, and that's a pretty good way to do it. The main problem was how the woman doing the regular tasting told us we could not sit there. She said "As you can see, we are pretty full at the moment." That was BS, It was obvious that only 25 percent of the tables are occupied. I found that really annoying and she needs to just tell us the real reason that the policy is in place. So, I take off one star for that. In conclusion, go to Linden for the great wine, skip the regular tasting, and do the cellar tasting. read more

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to go here for a wine tasting. Luckily, a coworker mentioned it was one of her favorite wineries so I decided to give it a try. My boyfriend and I got there around noon on a Saturday and we were lucky enough to have happened to pick a weekend they were allowing for a special cellar tasting! We did the wine tasting and ended up buying Linden's most expensive bottle. We asked if we could sit to enjoy it and were told not today which was disappointing but we understood bc the porch was crowded with their club members. The owner was there pouring a tasting for club members- kind of brushed us off when our server introduced him. I get that members are treated differently but I think everyone should be treated as special customers, that would be my only complaint. Otherwise, the wine was amazing, the view was beautiful, and we enjoyed our trip here. read more

Loved Linden. Jim Law really knows his wines! Came here with a group of 6 early on a Saturday in January. Lori was our taster and she was fantastic: very knowledgeable about the wines and was able to answer our wine-nerdy questions. We each walked away with at least 2-3 bottles. Personally, I enjoyed the 2009 Hardscrabble, 2010 Avenius Chard, 2010 Petit Verdot, and the 2012 Sav Blanc (and I usually don't like whites!). As for their policy regarding the "wine club/members only" sitch for their porch, etc., I say, good for you Linden. Why should any of us judge the way they want to run their tasting room? It's a free country, after all. Do I think that every tasting room should adopt this approach? No, but at Linden I can see why they have it. If you're "offended" by their house policy, there's plenty of other wineries in the area that will have you. Believe me, it's not the end of the world, yelpers! Having a beautiful porch on which to relax and enjoy awesome VA wines (with minimal distraction from large "party bus crowds," screaming kids, etc.), sure, sign me up! Definitely come here for the wines, you owe yourself that, at least. I, for one, can't wait to go back. read more

First off, there are things that Linden is and things that Linden IS NOT. This, coupled with the fact that people are clearly not bothering to visit the winery's website and educate themselves prior to visiting, has led to a plethora of unfairly and intentionally low scores for one of the THE BEST wineries in Virginia, and easily the best in the northern half of the state. As someone who has been visiting Linden for years (and has had the rules enforced on him more than once), I can tell you that the litany of slights listed here are more perceived than real. To me it belies a certain entitlement mentality to throw a one star review at a winery that you acknowledge makes remarkable wine and has an amazing location merely because they hurt your feelings. So let's dispel the myths and have a frank discussion on what Linden is and what it is not. Linden IS: 1. A tranquil, remote winery outside of Front Royal with one of the most experienced and talented winemakers in VA, Mr. Jim Law. He's a true artisan who has been producing handcrafted wines for decades. 2. A winery focused on terroir - Linden has three distinct vineyards (Hardscrabble, Boisseau, and Avenius) in the area that produce markedly different characteristics. They produce both blended and single vineyard styles that emphasize the uniqueness of these sites. 3. Passionate about education. The staff and winemaker, Jim Law, love questions and are often engaged in deep conversation with visitors at the tasting counter about their grapes, their process, and the different characteristics evidenced by the vineyards and vintages. They truly love their industry and want to foster the same awareness and appreciation in all who cross Linden's threshold. 4. An experience utterly unique from any other winery I've visited in the region. And I'm not just talking about the quality of the wine. I'm talking about the distinct sense of place that permeates the land, the vines, and the winery itself. There's a romance at play at Linden that I haven't encountered anywhere else in the area. It's in the spectacle of thriving vines across a sun-splashed mountainside, the creak of the reclaimed wood floors as you traverse the main building, the smell of fresh tilled earth, the quiet song of oak and fruit in the cellar where untold delights mature and develop in the shadows cast by soft candlelight. Most of all it's in the glass, where some of the most challenging and complex wines of the region are on display to be savored and considered. Linden IS NOT: 1. A "party winery". They don't want groups of more than 6 because parties of that size are directly at odds with the peaceful, contemplative environment Linden wants to maintain. This is not a place to go get hammered with your friends and loudly converse about the night out at the bars. 2. A large space. And because of this, on crowded weekends, they only allow case club members access to their deck to stay and enjoy a glass of wine. If it's not crowded, they are flexible on this policy. I understand why this is perceived as rude, but this is on their website and they are respectful when they communicate this (I know because they've had to tell me before). Assertions that they are rude and unfriendly are completely unfounded, and the result of hurt feelings more than actual poor service. 3. Concerned with Yelp reviews. Any quick Google search of wineries in Virginia will show that wine enthusiasts routinely put Jim Law's winery at or near the top in the state. Easily the best in NoVA. If people feel like posting 1-star reviews of an artisanal winery because they didn't welcome their noisy tour bus or didn't allow them access to the members' space to enjoy a glass of the very same wine they are now giving 1-star, then Linden accepts that. They know what type of place they want to be and will focus on the customers that embrace that. For everyone else, there's plenty of other options down the road where you can listen to all the emo-acoustic bands, screaming children, and drunk parents you please. You can also enjoy wine largely comprised of grape juice from other states and who don't take the pride and time to grow their own grapes and take what the good VA soil gives them. I encourage anyone who has shied from Linden because of the artificially low Yelp reviews to give them a shot. You'll taste the difference. read more

Beautiful location, great views, most gorgeous building/tasting room I think I've seen, and good wines! Nothing wrong in that department! And the tasting is free! But... definitely agree with others on the attitude. This just felt like a very snobbish atmosphere. Deck (with really outstanding views) is members only, though our fortune was good enough that we were able to sneak out there quickly for a picture. Then, since we were bringing family who hadn't done a wine tasting before, I asked the lady for some tips for them to help them enjoy/appreciate the experience. This was met with a pretty abrupt "you can smell it, and then try to taste it" response and then turned around to finish opening bottles. Finally, we asked for tips on other places to go in the area, and her first (very loaded) question was "well, are you about the experience, or the *wine*?". I don't know about everyone else, and maybe I'm just spoiled, but I'd kinda like the combo platter of those two. So, great place, worth checking out, and if you plan your times right you can even get a free tour of the winery. read more

I do not recommend this winery or wine. The rudeness of the staff is beyond anything I've experienced. From the moment of arriving, Kathleen was rude and unwelcoming. Our group decided that instead of staying to try the wine (which I've had before and have never been impressed anyway), we decided to leave. Because of this experience, I will never buy or drink this wine and will make sure anyone within earshot of me will be doing so either. Sad, especially since I am involved in the alcohol industry in DC/MD, and will make sure buyers/Somms at restaurants and bars hear about this and not buy the wine for their establishment. read more

Wine is pretty good. It's an excellent place to go for a date. Have a couple of food options and a great location. The Hardscrabble titles wines are what they are known for. read more

My friends and I returned to Linden this past weekend for the last time. We typically visit Linden a couple of times a summer and we've noticed that their "rules" have become increasingly intolerant and stringent. An earlier commentator noted the "case club." Basically, this means that to sit on the deck (even if it is empty) and order food you must buy a case of wine. And, every club member may only have three guests with him/her. (Over the past couple of years, at least one in our group has been a club member.) During our most recent trip, we were a group of seven which means, according to their rules, that we needed to have two club members and purchase two cases of wine if we wanted to sit on the empty deck... Seriously? I knew Linden was uptight, but we were all flabbergasted by their hostility. One of the people in our group is from Napa and she was shocked that a winery would set such stringent rules and treat customers with such disdain. It was truly disappointing and I will never return. Moreover, I will caution others interested in exploring Virginia wineries to steer clear of Linden. It is such a shame because the grounds are lovely and the wine is good. But, frankly, there is no excuse for the hostility and pretense. read more

A very pleasant experience sitting on the porch and drinking wine. Would have been even nicer if the lady who was serving us wine did not make us feel like we are imposing and she was doing us a favor by letting us stay. Even though it was not very busy, she felt the need to mention that since we were not members she could have asked us to leave... the wine was not bad, but overpriced. The cheese board was excellent. Wish they had tea or coffee for those who did not want to drink. read more

I appreciate Linden Vineyards - the wines are good - in my opinion. Jim Law is a serious man when it comes to his wine. I would encourage anyone to experience his cellar tasting. The facility itself is beautiful and provides a perfect backdrop for a wine tasting. Jim's rules don't bother me - we bought a case of wine that we would have bought anyway and now we have a pleasant place to sit, sip and sup. Without meaning to sound snarky, there are plenty of other vineyards in the area that welcome bachelorette parties. The Hardscrabble Chard is a favorite of mine. read more

As one who has imbibed at many VA wineries over the years, I always seem to come back to Linden. Located in the hills of the Shenandoah Valley, the landscape is beautiful. The wines seem to always be very good and the staff is knowledgeable and uber friendly. My only gripe with Linden is that there is now a policy that you have to be a case club member to use the enclosed deck. With so many gorgeous wineries in the area happy to let you enjoy their facilities, member or not, it's hard to understand why Linden has taken this stance. At any rate, if you are touring VA wine country, Linden is worth a stop for great wine and good company...just plan your picnic elsewhere. read more

Linden is all about small groups so as to not to detract from the tranquility and calmness of the space. It feels exclusive but not in a bad way- if anything I felt special being able to do a wine tasting here and getting to hang out on the deck. I love that they're about maintaining the peace and quiet because it truly is a wonder to see nothing but rolling hills, rows upon rows of grape vines, and undisturbed green grass. read more

Linden is the real deal. Very professional atmosphere inside the tasting room - comparable to what you might find in California. I took my mother and she was very intrigued.We spent a great deal of time talking about wine with the staff - always a plus for the experience - and I feel I learned a lot about the VA wine scene (and I've been tasting many times). The view outside is serene - great VA mountainside. Their wines are all very good, but truthfully the price point is a little high. Looking forward to coming back! read more

What a disappointment. Yes, we'd read your (Yelp) comments and other reviews and articles and fully understood this winery's "rules." We are respectful wine lovers who have visited numerous wineries (not just powerhouses, but also some truly remarkable small wineries in NY's finger lakes and Ontario) and were ready to see what Virginia wines had to offer and to support local artisans. We came to learn and appreciate and, of course, buy. We did buy some wine - and will try to enjoy it, notwithstanding our sense of disappointment, confusion and vague hostility. This winery does seem to have a significant number of rules, but, more than this, the cold-blooded lizard-ladies pouring the wines are proud to admonish (within seconds of arrival) visitors with those rules. Visitors are confronted in harsh, authoritative language upon arrival lest a rule be broken. (Our pourer actually broke from her duties to thrust her large physical being - with what appreared to be self-righteousness and malice - in front of a hapless couple who had caught sight of an enclosed porch and was moving toward it. She accosted the couple, admonished them in a commanding tone, and left them embarrassed, confused and--what a victory!-- loathe to enter that special porch reserved exclusively for "case club" members.) We arrived with the conception that Jim Law was a brilliant artiste whose rules enabled him and his staff to maintain the quiet sanctity of the winery that is his workshop. We read comments and reviews with the sense that people were too critical, too demanding, too self-centered to understand the art created here. HAH! From the cold brisk pourers (we encountered 2 - 1 when tasting, 1 when ordering), curt and condescending in their comments and responses to questions, we tasted, we purchased and we left. We decided against joining the case club (though we did buy more than 6 bottles) for the simple reason that we did not wish to spend another moment at Linden. We are still trying to be open-minded about this strictly-imposed "case club" restriction (where buying a full case during a single visit entitles the visitor to access the grounds and the dining area, and not buying that case restricts the visitor to the small tasting room floor). After all, why shouldn't Linden permit access to only its more serious, dedicated or enthusiastic patrons. But, during the course of our visit, our respectful geniality morphed into surprise, then outrage, and then the overwhelming desire to leave. We did not buy the case because we simply did not want to be there - on the grounds, in the dining area, on the porch, or anywhere at Linden. If Linden's objective is to entice people to buy wine and, to this end, to truly ENJOY their wines and, consequently, to wish to gain access to more wine and more of the vineyard - why were these pourers so cold and nasty - ?? If Linden's objective is to move the annoying masses through -- because it is better for Linden if the market (and especially the lucretive "case club" sector of the market) comes directly to Linden's doors, with its ready cash and free transportation -- the staff couldn't be more abrasive or less inviting. We will explore other local wineries. Not sure if we'll be back.... Depends on the wine. If we do return, however, we will buy and run. And somehow, we suspect this is precisely as Linden would have it. To others, we recommend the wine, not the winery, and, for those planning a visit, strongly recommend an itinerary that includes other destinations, as well, since the visit to Linden may be very brief indeed. read more

Jim Law is a legend in VA winemaking. We were looking forward to visiting his winery. The winery is in a beautiful location with great views. The tasting room is quite nice also. The wines, as expected, were very good. However, they were not serving the better reds since they said we had to be a wine club member. I HATE that!! You need to taste before you buy!! Dropped a star for the pretentious attitudes of the servers. read more

What sets this winery apart from the others is that the tastings are FREE! Unfortunately that only gives you 3-4 wines to try. This intimate winery lends itself to intimate group of people tasting pretty good wines overlooking an amazing view. read more

Jim Law is still the undisputed master of the vineyard. Like ourselves an ex Peace Corps guy who has a passion for classic wine making. Club case members are the way to go and enjoy a relaxing time on the deck with his deep reds in cold weather and light white wines in summer. Local cheese and sausage delicious too. read more

Hands down one of the top wineries in Virginia. The wines are fantastic from top to bottom. No, I'm not a member and they do have some "snobbery" going on at the place. But, if you want to pick up a good bottle of wine...this is the place to go. read more

First and last time visiting. We tasted the wine and the server was very detached. She offered no details on the origins of the wine, the make-up, nothing. After the first taste, she grabbed the bottle and vanished in the back while we stood there wondering how long we'd be abandoned for. After some time, another server assisting a couple next to us walked-over and poured our next wine. Finally, she returned at her leisure, poured the next one without offering any details on the wine once more and then proceeded to walk-over and talk to her friends. She discussed her "tip" of $1 for the day with her friends. If that didn't explain it all. Very unprofessional and un-welcoming. read more

I have lived in Linden, VA for over 16 years and have frequented almost all the vineyards in the Northern Virginia area. Yesterday I decided to take my fiancee to Linden, vineyard at 4:30 for 1 bottle of wine before they closed at 5:00. We were told that because we were not case members, meaning you have had to buy a case we couldn't sit on the veranda for 20 minutes. We brought to her attention that they closed in 20 minutes and that there were plenty of empty seats. She explained that since the owner lived on the property and they have been having too much business in the past that they had to make a case club membership so they didn't get so crowded. Well, I never knew that Linden vineyard had TOO MUCH business and had to weed out the customers. Hmmm, buy the time she was done we felt embarrassed and insulted. I guess this place is too stuffy and snobby for us. To think that I live on top Blue Mountain exactly 1 mile from FOX MEADOW VINEYARD, which we drove past, who by the way doesn't have any rules like that. They treat all their customers like they are special. They don't weed out their customers because they have too much business. The views are much better because you are on top of the mountain and can see all of heaven. Much better view than Linden vineyard, where all you see is the next hill across the street. I would highly recommend FOX MEADOW vineyard to those who are undecided about which vineyard to go to. They are high class and have a beautiful veranda along with special functions through the year and I think more class than Linden vineyard. Directions from 66 take the Markham exit to 55 west, (John Marshall Highway). Take a right on Freezeland Road and the vineyard is 3.5 miles on the right. Linden vineyard is about 3 miles off of 55 West. So if you are undecided which vineyard to go to when they are placed exactly the same distance off of 55 my recommendation would be not to waste your time at Linden vineyard and go to Fox Meadow vineyard or Naked Mountain vineyard all of which are within a 3 mile radius of the Markham exit. Thank you Catherine Newman read more

This place is absolutely beautiful and amazing. It really redeemed Virginia wine country for me and made me reconsider my Northern California wine snobbery. We had such a great time - beautiful sunny deck overlooking the Shenandoah Valley with great wines. read more

This is a wonderful friendly winery with a beautiful deck and views and really tasty wines. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the cheese board is delicious! We got the Chardonnay and had a lovely afternoon! read more

So we are dog/house sitting this weekend in Front Royal and what a treat, we get to go wine tasting. This was our first stop and a good choice. We had seen great reviews here on our friend, "Yelp". We agree with what all had to say. The mandatory to buy a case to sit on the deck is a bit much, seeing as we go to vineyards a good amount, I found this to be a bit of a stuffy rule. Overall, their wine was tasty and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We bought two bottles of wine and went on our merry way to a couple other good spots. Note to anyone: they are not joking about their rule to not allow more then 6 in a group...not the place for the party limo or bus, but we liked it that way. read more

I thought it lived up to the hype--just a simple, no frills winery. Beautiful setting and tasting room--not filled with all sorts of kitsch :) Every wine we had was a winner, though I wish I'd known about the Cellar Tasting. Left with 4 bottles, and will definitely be back. read more

This winery is as close to perfection as one could get, in my opinion. Driving up to it was a little intimidating because the road I took was a single lane, dirt, and gravel road that seemed to last forever. I was sure if I broke down, a scene from Deliverance would take place. I almost wrecked my SUV driving back down that road because I took it a little to fast. The tasting room is awesome. It feels sophisticated and intimate. I love the fact that they don't allow groups larger than 6. It sucks to be spending a lovely day with close family or friends and be overwhelmed by a large group of people. They are always loud and in most situations i have found them to be obnoxious. It disappoints me that 'winery hopping' has become trendy. A winery's purpose has been lost because of this. Tasting rooms are meant to enable you to have a TASTE in order to decide which wine you are going to purchase.....they are not there to help you get intoxicated. I have seen numerous groups take up time and space and purchase nothing. Absolutely tacky!!! The wines are extremely good. I purchased the Chardonnay to have with Thanksgiving dinner. The server was friendly enough and very informative. All in all, the wines are wonderful, the tasting room and it's views fantastic, and the service, prices, and atmosphere are great. read more

I liked this winery and plan to come back. It was very pretty and the wines were nice. They have their Cellar Tastings at the top of every hour so plan accordingly! read more

The staff at Linden could use a refresher on the definition of the term "hospitality." Rude from the moment my group walked in the door, as if our presence and desire to patronize their business was an incredible inconvenience. The beautiful location is ruined by the ugly behavior from their employees. Would not recommend. read more

Excellent wine, excellent views, and excellent service. A real treat - plan a good hour here so you can have a tasting and then a glass on the deck. read more

We went to Linden Vineyards yesterday for the first time in seven years (I have been busy starting a new business). We started going to Linden Vineyards a long time ago...years before the deck was enlarged. At that time you could buy wine and sit out on the small deck. I don't remember if they even served food. We have been to Linden Vineyards since the deck was enlarged, their menu grew, and we were allowed to sit on the deck. I, like the other reviewers, were stunned when I was told by the pourer that she could not pour for me because we were not members of the case club. I actually think she had fun telling me this as she tossed her hair back. I would like to remind Linden Vineyards that they got where they are today by customers like myself who would visit them a few times a year, taste and buy their wines. Now they charge a $5 tasting fee (which I have no problem with) but you can't sit on their deck and order food unless you are a case club member. We left Linden and went to Fox Meadow. We did a tasting ($6 each) enjoyed a bottle of wine, cheese and bread ($47 total). Safe yourself some time and skip Linden Vineyards. read more

This place is a nice place - we liked it so much we are now Case Club members - plan to go back one of these days. Wine is very good. Grounds are beautiful. The wine tasting experience (we've been here twice in the last couple of years) is excellent - liked their fresh baked bread and cured meats and cheese on the patio. Found the ambience very tasteful - I'd say my favorite winery in Virginia. read more

My friends and I had a girls weekend (4 total). We all came from different states and met at my house, a little over an hour from the winery. I have been to a number of vineyards in VA but thought about trying a new one. Having had their 2010 claret at One Block West Restaurant in Winchester VA (great place by the way) I thought this would be the perfect stop. On the outside this place is beautiful. Great deck with awesome views and good wine. Unfortunately if you are not a case club member traveling out of your way to visit is pointless as they don't want you to stay. We were willing to spend time and money at their winery but it isn't good enough. I am a member at another winery and I understand having perks for membership to thank them for their loyalty, however not giving regard to someone new doesn't make sense. I am not going to become a member after one tasting I need to experience the wine and winery first but we were not given the opportunity. Now we asked if that day was especially but it was to them but there was hardly anyone on the deck. Why not have one side of the deck for members and the the other for guests? They make more money and don't blow off the people that traveled to visit them. I won't be back. read more

Loved it! Fabulous place, gorgeous setting, one of my favorite places to go in wine country VA. The chardonnay is great and I would consider becoming a wine club member, and that says something for VA wineries! read more

Favorite Winery in VA. Great wine, beautiful house, polite, knowledgable staff and the view is spectacular

We enjoyed a wonderful tasting here. The facility sits beautifully a top part of their vineyard. You can really tell that they take consideration of their unique terroir to produce quality wines. We purchased multiple bottles and can't wait to return! read more

We hadn't been to Linden in a long time, so on a beautiful Sunday we stopped by to enjoy a tasting. Afterwards we asked to get a glass to enjoy on the deck or side room. At that point we were told unless we were club members we had to leave, after you pay for your tasting. We were not a limo or a group, just a couple. A couple who has no interest in ever returning and who will tell our friends, to avoid this unwelcoming place. read more

This is in my opinion the very best Virginia wine, and it easily competes with some of the very best wineries in the world. I have done many tastings there and would rate all of their wines in the 90+ points range and many at 95 points or above. Not only are their wines amazing, but their tasting room is lovely and has a beautiful view (it is reserved for case club members, which keeps it free from large parties on the weekends which is nice). read more

My partner and I have been patrons of Linden for many years. In fact we're case club members. As case club members we've entertained many friends and family on their deck. They make a great effort to pair their wines with local cheeses. There's nothing better than a glass of Boisseau with Dr. Pat's Everona Piedmont and a hot baguette. Yum! I respect Jim Law's dedication to the founding principles of good stewardship of the earth beneath our feet. I do wish he would support local, Loudon, vintners. That's a matter of collegiality for me. Anyway - I love his wines. Each one has special qualities. My personal favorites are Boisseau, Petit Verdot, and Hardscrabble. They are all strong reds with delicious mineral and tobacco flavors. The nice thing about Virginia wines is that they are all small batch. There was once the vision that Virginia could compete with California wines. Virginia wines will never compete in quantity and that's fine with me. The great thing is that Virginia wines, Linden wines, represent the best of the best of these small, unique, truly terroir batches. You can't go to the local Giant or Safeway and buy a bottle of Linden. You can find some in well stocked wine speciality stores though. But to get the best of their offerings - you have to go to the vineyard and buy in person. To taste the taste of the hard scrapple of Appalachia - you have to physically go to their tasting room. The tasting staff is the pinnacle of those-in-the-know of the region. Many, obviously, work other jobs. Some in media, others in commercial ventures. All equally dedicated to the vision that they are all players in a great vision of hard work results in delicious wines and life experiences. read more

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. What kind of winery doesn't allow you to buy a glass of wine (unless you're already a member)? This dumb winery, that's what kind. Though the wine is good (I admit), it's far from the best Virginia has to offer and this idiotic attitude of "our wine is for our club members only" is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Talk about making your customers -- those people who you could make repeat customers -- feel like low class jerks. What an embarrassment, for them, and for those poor souls who happily visit the winery in search of the simple pleasure of enjoying a glass of wine. This being said, the lady at the counter who did our tasting ($5 for a tasting -- five tastes -- which isn't bad) was about as pleasant as one could expect when telling people they weren't good enough to order a glass of wine (I wouldn't want her job), so kudos to her. We were polite about it at least and left (never to return) but my guess is there are folks who are probably much more vocally upset about this policy than we were. The grounds are nice (there are better; try Tarara Winery) with pretty views (that you're not allowed to enjoy unless you're a member). And more power to the owner whose obvious attempts to appear (and I guess "be") exclusive reek of an ego who thinks his sh*t doesn't stink, but I'm here to tell you, it does. read more

My boyfriend and I visited this vineyard after a recommendation for a friend and we are so glad we did. The views and location were gorgeous, the staff was exceptional and it had a great atmosphere. We arrived late for the 11:30 tour but the tour guide Amanda graciously let us join late and showed us a fabulous time. Ask for Amanda! read more

Linden is about wine. If you are aware that they don't cater to kids or dogs or limos or large groups, and that if you aren't a club member you don't have many places to sit and enjoy a bottle, and you just enjoy the wine... you will have a great experience at Linden. The cellar tasting is WELL worth the $20 and the tasting staff is always eager to chat and answer questions. I understand the low star ratings but the wine is quality and diverse. read more
