The restaurant is underneath with a look view of part of the vineyard. We asked and it's only been open a couple of years. I had Shakshuka and have to say it was as good if not better than anything I've had in the middle east! I'm sure most people that eat here, are staying at the hotel. The waitress was surprised when we said we weren't. Don't let that stop you, it's a beautiful setting with great food. Helpful hint: Wine tastings don't start until noon. So, if you want to do that plan for a later breakfast.

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!

The tasting room is large and the day my husband and I visited was very quiet. We had the entire place to ourselves at one point.

We walked the grounds with a glass of wine after our lunch and it was a perfect little adventure afternoon adventure. We would definitely come back. Thank you!

It was so clean and looked brand new even though it's 30 years old! Chad was the picture of hospitality. He was very knowledgeable on all the wines and even though we arrived within an hour of closing (we were those people today, I swear we usually aren't), he never rushed us. He was warm, patient, kind, and made us feel incredibly special. And the wine was unique and tasty. I have had a lot of wine (hello 2020) and this certainly measured up there on my list. We left with 3 bottles and some amazing homemade fall sangria in adult Capri Sun style pouches. If you live in the area or if you need a pit stop on your road trip, this place is definitely worth the stop!

Tasting room manager Rob was there, and he was one of the most hilarious servers I've ever had! This place is tiny; 3.5 acres of vines, composed of Chambourcin and one other (Steuben I think?). The wines are very reasonably priced at between $11 to $14 each. All the offerings were hybrids, although I was told a special Cabernet Franc was on the way. While I normally don't like sweet wines, I made an exception for a glass of their Steuben. Just as interesting as the wines were their plans to expand into a distillery. Rob had a proud moonshiner background, and he was looking forward to making brandy - a rarity in the distillery business. For that, I'll definitely be back.

Davis is a winery/distillery combo. One side of the massive building is a small wine tasting room,…read morewhile the other side offers a distillery tasting. The middle is a warehouse. Davis has 45 acres of vines - which is actually a huge planting. They seem to specialize in Chambourcin and other hybrid grapes, like Steuben, Marshal Foch, as well as some Pinot Noir (which grows decently in the area) and Chardonnay. Prices were very reasonable, although they tended to serve sweet and semi sweet styles, which isn't my thing The wine was OK, but I LOVED the distillery. I had a very brief, off-the-cuff tour, followed by a tasting. The maple bourbon was excellent and lives up to its name (I bought a bottle). But I also liked their moonshines, especially the apple. The 'heritage' bourbon was spicy, which was interesting but not for me.

We were told we could select 3 wines to sample. What they didn't explain was that my husband and I were to share those samples...we weren't allowed to each select 3. The staff member stood in silence as we sampled the wines, offering no information on what we were sampling. Very awkward and rude. Neither of us cared for the wines we selected. The distillery staff member was a slight improvement over the winery tasting, but not enough to save the rating. He was friendly enough, but didn't care for the spirits either. I wouldn't recommend to someone traveling through.

So I was a little unsure whether the wine selection at Beliveau Farm Winery would be for me. But I'm happy to say that these guys are making some great wine. Yvan and Joyce, the owners, know what they are doing in terms of grapes and wine, because they have traveled and enjoyed wine from all around the world. They have a good thing going on here. When I visited, I did a wine tasting, which was paired with different flavored potato chips. So I got to taste several different wines. I'm more of a red wine gal, but one of my favorites at Beliveau is the Crazy Professor, which is a white wine blend: Vidal Blanc, Chardonel, Pinot Gris. They also have a tasty Cab Franc (one of my favorites, too), and another Crazy Professor wine, but this one is a red called The Professor's Crazy Estate Blend, which is Cab Franc, Syrah, Merlot and Tempranillo. Almost all of my favorites in one bottle! So, yes, you will find some great Virginia wines here. You can enjoy a glass indoors or outdoors. I hope you sit outdoors, though, because the grounds are beautiful and expansive. This place is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, too. There's lots of open space for kids to run around, and some big rocks for them to climb on.

It was an exceptionally brilliant idea. The place has a phenomenal staff (especially Opie). They were welcoming, personable and knowledgeable. They had a deep experience with wines that helped guide the experienced wine drinkers and an empathetic approach to those (aka, me) who were clueless. I (ahm, the inexperienced) were never intimidated or given the snob treatment. However, my brother who knows his way around a bottle or two (or at least actively tries to fake it) was given the appropriate insights to what he was drinking. Across the ten of us, we tried multiple different wines and they were all well liked. Many made their way home as people had to take some bottles home. You can tell that I'm an amateur because the whole "flight of wines" thing was new to me. It was brilliant to sample many different varieties in what I would call shooters to the great disappointment of my brother. Yeah, I told you he acted like he knew what he was doing. They also gave us a brief tour of the beautiful grounds as well as a look "behind the scenes". I would really recommend visiting in the fall and maybe seeing things in action. The drive is a bit "way back there", but I highly encourage you to take the trip. It's definitely worth it.

We love going for the music and food truck events and we drive about 2 hours just to visit, so we definitely recommend!
