We arrived on a Friday night after dark and parking can be a challenge but we did find a place to…read morepark. Upon arrival We were warmly greeted at the front desk and given our key. We had to walk past one of the main dining rooms to get to our room upstairs but keep in mind it is a very old and historic inn. We had the Shearer room and it was very clean and welcoming. There is a gas fireplace when you walk in and it was putting out the heat! Then we walked back into the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and bed was nice. There is no TV but there is Wi-Fi. All in all we had a good experience. The breakfast was delicious! I had the pancakes and the bacon which both were excellent.

Our room was quiet, clean, and the amenities were just what we needed for the weekend getaway. Daniel--the manager--worked with me to surprise my wife with a bottle of sparkling wine that was chilled in the room and a vase of stunning fall flowers. The food at the inn was amazing, fresh, and I only wish we would have also eaten here Saturday night! We enjoyed breakfast both mornings and had dinner Sunday night. During breakfast, they have many choices (all included) and we chose to try the omelet, the sausage gravy, and the eggs Benedict. There were also choices for French toast, a farmers breakfast, and they had gluten free options as well when asked. For dinner, because it was on Sunday it was the supper series that gives a three course option with the main choices being fried chicken or pork bbq. The location of this inn is ideal--a short drive from Richmond, northern Virginia, or Charlottesville. This makes it an easy getaway from the hustle of the city, but also not a super long journey. The inn is also a short distance from many wineries and historical sites. We will be back!

Disclaimer: I am friends with the owner…read more With that said, I have also recommended this winery to many of my friends. Three of my friends held their weddings here and I personally hosted a friends bridal shower here during the pandemic. I have to say the venue is PERFECT for all occasions. There are distinct areas that you can rent. During the pandemic, the owner went out of his way to help us set up the bridal shower, make sure the area was well ventilated, but also included heat lamps and fans so we would be comfortable. There is also an Air Conditioned tasting room that was super comfortable. I've bought cases of their wine and they make fantastic gifts. When just visiting, I love all of the activities they have and the wines. I will definitely be back and hope to host more events here.

We got a bottle of the meritage, and two flat breads. The food was tasty, and the wine was really good. The heated inside didn't have a view, but had games, and books, and couches. Was very homey. There was a huge playground on the premise so now I know I can bring my kids here. The whole decor felt elevated farm house to me. I would def come back and recommend to my friends.

I had my wedding here in 2011 and it occurred to me that I needed to write a review. This place was…read moreexceptionally beautiful and a bargain. Van and Deborah were great to work with and the DJ was perfect. They have been doing this for so long that they and their staff are very accomplished and attentive. We had a wedding of just under 100 guests and everyone still talks about it. The venue was beautiful. When people entered they were greeted by passed appetizers and drinks. All of the waitstaff were dressed impeccably and also removed any empty glasses and trash. We had the bacon wrapped scallops, which were divine, as well as the lamb kabobs. There was a third, but I cannot remember what it was. Regardless, I was not disappointed. For the meal we had a served buffet and they called people by table. I was initially apprehensive about this, but it went quickly and everyone was satisfied. We offered the roasted chicken and the prime rib. My mother's friend's husband still talk about the Prime Rib. We also had roasted potatoes and a rice pilaf. Everything was delicious. For drinks there was ice tea, water and Coke soft drinks. We elected to have a wine and beer bar, but in the middle of the reception (I believe because the size of people who attended was smaller than expected) they opened it up to a full open bar. The DJ was perfect and allowed the timing of the reception to be run efficiently without us being rushed. After my husband and I left, my mother told me that the staff was very efficient at wrapping up the cake as well as all of the presents, so she was able to enjoy the wedding without needing to clean up or get the family together afterwards. For NOVA and the DC Metro area, this place is a hidden gem and complete bargain. You get the glamor and prestige without the $50K price tag.

This is a beautiful little winery, but unfortunately there's practically no wine to buy. We went…read morethis past Sunday - arrived at opening- and they were already sold out of every single wine that has chambourcin in it with the exception of one, the sangria. So we got two flights and sampled the wines they did have in stock. All of them were quite sweet. The one we enjoyed was the sangria, and we pictured warming it up for the winter since it has cinnamon notes. So we went to close out the tab and purchase three bottles - and we were told they literally had two left. So we bought them, which resulted in zero wines left with chambourcin. How weird. Pluses are- they allowed our dogs, has beautiful bathrooms, and allowed you to bring your own food!

Just to preface this Review, I just moved here from the Napa Valley - Sonoma region of California…read more Even though my expectations were low, there was only one out of nine of the wines that I could choke down. Now you like extremely sweet wine that lacks complexity this might be your place. The Pinot Grigio actually tasted fairly good which deserves the one star, but it went downhill from there. The winery is a very beautiful place for picnics and the young lady serving the wine was quite delightful. I've had a few good Virginia wines, but for my taste, this is not the place.

I went on Mother's Day to see the Chris Ryan band, and it was a lovely day…read more There is a stage for the band, there is a playground for kids, there are animals that are very friendly, including a very noisy peacock and a peahen. One side of the main building is the winery area, and the other side is the brewery area, the signage is a little hard to decipher, but it's pretty easy to figure out by asking. The wines were delicious, I tried a white and a red, and Anna, who served me, was very patient with my questions, even though the line was long. I appreciated that and I didn't feel rushed. The other young lady also helped me, and the staff was incredibly nice, even though the line was very long. There are multiple picnic tables out in the open area in front of the stage, and there's a lovely seating area right in front of the winery and around the side, and there's even a little hidden grotto that's very pretty. They have lights outside, so it probably looked very pretty after dark too. If you want to sit at the picnic tables, pick one under a tree, because the sun does get pretty brutal. I also recommend possibly bringing something to sit on, or you can bring a blanket and sit in the grass. I brought a large cooler with a picnic,, and they did come and inspect it, but it was fairly perfunctory. I brought my own nonalcoholic things to drink, in glass bottles, and I had my own glass, and there was not an issue with that. I would advise bringing some food, as at this gathering I think the only food truck was a pizza truck. When I had gone before, they gave the option of a fruit and cheese platter, but I didn't see any this time. I think the food trucks rotate, but you could probably call and ask. It's a lovely place, but if you don't know where you're going, you might miss it, so look for the sign in and a white truck with black lettering with the name of the brewery and the Vineyard on it. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this for an afternoon, and they have rotating bands that play, and it makes for a lovely day out.

Details like coffee and tea anytime, filling and fancy breakfasts with choice ingredients, all homemade, and an abundance of flora and fauna to enjoy made it a bespoke, boutique experience.
