The vinard is onsite and I believe they help other local wineries in the area to make wine. The employees were great, so friendly and knowledgeable. There was live music.

Pros:This vineyard is a delight for history lovers--it was built in the early 1800s and has served…read moremany purposes over the years, including a boys' school, a Union troop garrison during the Civil War, Washington Academy, a courthouse, and even a dairy farm. The tasting room is spacious and comfortable, with tables and couches perfect for relaxing with friends. There's also a charming gift shop, along with a selection of cheeses and snacks available for purchase. Cons:I tried the five-red tasting for $12, but none of the wines were especially memorable. The pours were inconsistent, with some wines served as one sip, some two, and others three. The cheeses for purchase are pricey, with 4 oz costing $13. The most significant issue was the wine glasses--each sip had a strong odor reminiscent of dirty sponge water, indicating that their glass-cleaning process needs major improvement. Overall: A charming vineyard with rich history and a comfortable tasting space, but the wines didn't impress and snacks are pricey. Great for the atmosphere, less so for the tasting. Based on this experience, I rate this establishment a 2.5 out of 5.

Pros: Rick and Lori Gump (yes, like Forrest, but no…read morerelation, haha!) graciously welcomed us for a wine tasting right before a private party. Rick stayed and chatted with us the entire time--easily the kindest and most personable host we met on our trip. We left with a bottle of their fresh Autumn Apple Sangria and their Cabernet Sauvignon. The venue and property are fantastic, featuring a tasting room, ample space for parties and events, live music on Saturdays and some Sundays, food service, and a dog-friendly atmosphere. Simply put, they offer it all! Of the three wineries we visited during our three-day vacation, this was by far the best. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stop back. Cons: None whatsoever!

Extremely good, like a moscato. The food: The burger 15/10 The crab dip 9/10 Grilled Cheese 8/10 Dessert: Wine cakes 50/10 SOOO WORTH IT! I believe the tent comes with one of the charcuterie boards - Le Grand Cru Platter. I honestly thought it was alright, not the best sprays I've had and the bread was hard. I'd give it a 7/10. The winery cakes were PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I was IN LOVE. They apparently soak it for many hours in their wine. I highly recommend it! Both the strawberry and vanilla one was great, but I really enjoyed the strawberry cake. Apparently you have to order 3 days in advance. The tent was actually pretty warm if you kept it zipped up. There were two heaters in the tent. I think we got the tent for 12 people, but it comfortably fit 10 people. Overall I highly recommend this winery, I would TOTALLY come back !

They don't have food but they do have some small snack options. We ended up grabbing some cheese and crackers and it was a perfect pair. The wines themselves were all fantastic. I'm more of a dry wine person but they definitely had options for sweeter wines as well. They had a large wine list and truly something for everyone. It was such a cute little spot.
