We have been to JvD many times and were once part of their wine club. We live nearby and go when we…read moreare in town. We just attended the Sam Morrow concert. Really disappointed! There were very few people. The music was too loud (and no, I'm not old!) and none of us could understand a word the lead singer sang in almost every song. Worst of all, the 14$ glass of wine was about 1/2 to a 1/3 of a typical pour. I asked twice about it and only got a laugh back. Probably won't go back. **************************** UPDATE AFTER YOUR RESPONSE: Thank you for taking the time to respond, but your reply completely missed the point. Instead of acknowledging a customer's experience, you chose to argue with it. Telling me that other guests enjoyed the show, explaining how your sound engineers operate, and defending your pour sizes doesn't address the actual issue--it dismisses it. A review isn't a debate to be won; it's feedback to be heard. What stands out most is your tone. There's no real ownership, no genuine apology--just a series of justifications meant to invalidate my experience. Whether or not others felt differently is irrelevant. I'm telling you what my experience was, and your response essentially boils down to "you're wrong." That's not how you build loyalty, especially from someone who has supported your business repeatedly in the past. A simple acknowledgment and a sincere effort to understand would have gone a long way. Instead, your response reinforces the very reason I said I probably won't be back.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon in September with friends. It wasn't very busy, and we were seated…read moreright away on the outdoor patio overlooking the river. The location is beautiful--tucked beside the Roaring River in a small valley, with a peaceful and scenic setting. Menus were provided when we sat down, along with an offer for drinks. Although this is a winery, they also serve beer and other beverages. Our server gave us a wine menu but directed us to scan a QR code for the other drink options. Since there's no cell reception, we had to connect to the winery's Wi-Fi first, which felt a little awkward. After all that, the beer menu was quite limited--something that could have been more easily explained up front. The food menu was also limited, which we expected at a winery. None of us ordered wine, but two of us had beers, and we shared the soft pretzel bites with beer cheese dip and a charcuterie board. Both appetizers were presented beautifully and tasted great--we really enjoyed sampling them. After our food and drinks, we walked the grounds. The property is stunning, with accommodations for overnight stays, a pavilion for events, and multiple access points to the river. Overall, this was a wonderful place to relax and catch up with friends. The highlights were the scenery and the food, while the downsides were the limited menu options and service that felt less helpful than expected.

We have learned to check websites to make wineries aren't closed for special events, etc. before we visit. When checking the website I saw that they have a new Rosé and are currently offering a Rosé Flight, which we both ordered upon arrival. We were impressed with all three versions. The Blanc De Noirs is fruity and bubbly and a delight to sip. Lives up to the tasting note description of "playful and fun." The Sangiovese Rosé is a delicate and delicious juxtaposition, crisp and peach forward. I liked them all but the Rosé Blend is my favorite, just an all around great rosé. Plenty of comfortable, shaded seating on the patio overlooking the picturesque hillside vines. Live music. We chose

We visited Iron Heart Winery and had the most amazing experience!…read more Our beautiful hostess Deidra, poured some outstanding bourbon and several excellent wines during our tasting. She shared so many fascinating details about the winery, as well The Salty Stash Distillery located about 20 minutes away. We spent the day surrounded by the stunning scenery of beautiful Virginia and loved hearing about the history of both establishments. My only disappointment of the day was they were out of merchandise featuring the Iron Heart logo which I'm absolutely obsessed with! The Salty Stash logo is pretty cool too; we learned it's designed as half the owner, Adam's face, and half of his late father's which makes it all the more meaningful. If you're ever in the area, Iron Heart Winery is a MUST! You won't be disappointed! We will be back every year! Shout out to Jazzie as well who wasn't our hostess but was so much fun and made our day enjoyable. My apologies for any misspelled names. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!
