The owner was very friendly and the sangrias were good but if you're looking for good wine this isn't the winery for you. We had the dry white flight and they definitely don't know how to make wine. There is a great patio to sit outside and enjoy the view of the vineyard. I would recommend a flight of sangrias, it's a nice way to spend a couple hours with friends. read more

The hubs and I absolutely loved our visit here while at the lake for a week last month. It's an absolutely lovely setting made even better with some really nice lounging options outside, not to mention some very welcoming employees. We enjoyed a couple of flights, each finding some flavors we both loved and took home with us. A bonus, though, was the sangria! I had no idea they made sangria! We sampled a couple to see which ones we liked best, which I can honestly say was a difficult choice because they were ALL delicious! We left with a few pouches and a growler of sangria. Had we not just eaten lunch, we'd have gotten some charcuterie to go with our visit. Fortunately, we'll be back for more next time we're up at the lake. read more

If you like sangria or margaritas, you may want to check this place out. We arrived at the Vineyard, went to the tasting room and i asked the lady working behind the tasting counter which wines were their best sellers. She was very friendly and recommended the margaritas and sangrias. Everyone who came in ordered sangria, margaritas, or flights of both.I went there for the wine so we ordered a flight.; a mix of dry red and white. I also ordered a tasting of the rose and the mango sangria for my boyfriend. I personally didn't care for any of the wines. The Cab Franc was probably the best one we tasted. My boyfriend said the sangria tasted like water down mango juice. I don't mean to leave a harsh review, because I'm sure others will find this place to their liking. The outside deck and views were very pretty. They are also dog friendly.. read more

We were at the Staunton location, and Fernando did a tremendous job of informing us about all of the different wines and sangrias!! He said we had his mother to thank for the amazing Growler of Chocolate Covered Strawberry sangria that we bough. We tried several of their wines, and went home with 3 bottles. Definitely try them out if you are in Staunton! read more

Beautiful place and the sangria was delicious!! It's a walk up and order place and the only food they have is a cheese board so I would bring your own snacks. read more

The service was lovely and our server made great recommendations. Ambiance also got high marks-- gorgeous indoor and outdoor space available, even covered outdoor space for a rainy day like today. We only liked about half of what we tried beverage-wise, but if you like really sweet drinks, you'll be a very happy guest! read more

Stopped in on Presidents' Day weekend. Met the new owners and found out they are on a path to be the best winery in Southern Virginia! Presentation was amazing. Cheese plate was good. Make sure to try the Vidal Blanc if you are a white wine fan. It is fantastic! If you're a red drinker you may not have the dark leathery stuff but if you'd like a light red Cab Franc is exceptional. Dog friendly outside. Inside and outside spaces for groups. read more

This place is beautiful which pushed it over the 3 stars point for me. As with most places around Smith Mountain Lake, there is so much gorgeous greenery. You drive up a gravel one car lane and end up at the winery. There is a small outdoor seating area in the grass itself (big enough for two small groups) and then there is the outside patio. The patio is covered and very nice. All of these spots have views of the vineyard. The wine itself was okay. We have a semi-sweet flight and liked 2 of the 4 (the whites not the reds). I wouldn't call them semi-sweet, they were sweet. I didn't try anything on the dry side so I cannot speak to those. Would definitely come back for the scenery and something to do and try a different flight. Covid: They suggest you call to make a reservation beforehand to ensure social distancing. We showed up without knowing this but they made it work for us. We were seated in a totally empty section and other patrons were way more than 6 feet from each other. The server wore a mask and was very kind and helpful helping us find a space to accommodate us. read more

Wonderful!!! We were staying 5 minutes away so we decided to try this winery. To say it was a wonderful experience is an understatement. The wines are fabulous & the owner/manager is awesome. This honestly was the best winery experience I've ever had. Next time we are in Moneta we will definitely be back. read more

While on a family vacation, we decided to stop by the tasting room one rainy afternoon. They have two $5 tasting menus, one for (semi)sweet and one for red and white dry wines. You get just enough in your glass to smell and taste. Hubby and I agreed the Virginia State Fair blue-ribbon peach-infused Tendril was worth a bottle. We couldn't decide on just two of the sweet sipper wine bags (2 glasses each, safe to take in the boat or to the park), so we got three: the raspberry, green apple tart, and the chocolate-orange dessert wine. We'll have enough to enjoy for months to come. Great souvenirs of our trip. On top of that, the parking was easy, there's a clean bathroom, and the young woman at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent value for the price. read more

Ramulose Ridge Vineyards - Sweet tasting menu - Wineries Near Me - Moneta, Virginia

My husband and I had a little get away to Smith Mountain Lake. We stumbled across this winery after searching Yelp. We really enjoyed our time. They were enforcing COVID guidelines and you were only allowed to sit outdoors. It's strongly recommended that you make a reservation via their website. For guaranteed seating. I was able to make a reservation day of by calling their number, even though it stated online that reservations were closed and no day of. But I saw that their was available slots online, they were really friendly about it. They also served pizza, pretty good selection. They had great cheese selections. We had the chipotle block and the garden vegetable soft spread. I'm a really sweet wine drinker, I didn't care too much for the sweet wine flight but my husband really enjoyed the red wine flight! I had a really great time. The scenery was really nice and tucked away. I would highly recommend ! read more

If you really LOVE mariachi and latino instrumental music and really really sweet juice box like sangria....this is your place!

To be fair. I absolutellllly don't like sweet or white wines. So quite honestly I am not a candidate for this place or Virginia wines in general. Honestly any East coast wine. I like Pinot Noir from Oregon and that's about it for this country. The wine averages from--- I thinnnnnk I like that one better than that one maybe but ~shudder~ nope on each??? To - hmmmm, smells like the inside of a thrift store but it's not too bad... Out of the popular favorites wine flight, I like the first wine. Only. The dry white that has notes of honeysuckle. Not my style either but everyone enjoyed it with their Pepper Hatch cheese spread. (The pizza crust was good with pepper hatch cheese spread). And the kids liked their cheese pizzas. My party ordered two bottles after their tastings were done. But each order took one hour (we timed it) to order with just 2-3 people in front of us. (And they were just ordering the flights on the menu - that are preselected out for you. OMG why did it just take an hour to order. But seriously. It took a reallllllly long time to order at the window on a nice Saturday with a Sunday forecasted to be cold so I had hoped they would be prepared. It was the only vineyard locally that still had reservations open. Why was the wine coming from all the way in the back of the house when you ordered through the window at the front. It was a bit confusing for the people wondering where to wait in line. We also had a table reserved in order to be best at social distancing far off from the building and other tables, but they kept sitting very large groups next to us within a few feet from us once the party of 15 all crowded together in the same place. With chairs dragged over, and so it was a bit stressful in pandemic attempts to socially distanced wine taste. , what with all the drinking, laughing and shouting of others in our same air space. And then someone laid their picnic blanket right next to our tables in the grass and upwind from us so again the social distancing failed despite having "reserved a table" away from other tables. read more

Absolutely loved visiting Ramulose Ridge Vineyards. It was just a short drive from where we were staying and absolutely gorgeous. They took plenty of extra precautions due to COVID 19 and I even saw the owner sanitizing seats and tables after customers left. My significant other and I each ordered a flight and ended up buying three bottles of wine to add to our wine rack when we get home. I think my favorites were the Traminette and the Vidal Blanc, but they were all really good! Highly recommend stopping by if you are in town and love a good glass of wine. read more

I wish this vineyard would update their website to tell about the new owners and what they're doing in the vineyard. The woman working in the tasting room was very nice but did not offer much information about the wines. read more

Went here today to check out a new vineyard. Turns out it is very new and only opened on Thursday. While they are still putting the finishing touches on a very nice tasting room, they already have the customer experience down pat. Friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about their wines and wine in general. This is definitely a legit winery. Some southern VA wineries only have very sweet wines or fruit wines, but that is not the case here. About 10 or 12 different wines from about 8 to 10 different varietals of grape (don't remember exact numbers). The wines were great and a group of 5 of us bought 5 different bottles of wine. The winery itself is gorgeous. The building for the tastings additionally houses a rental space on the upper level that is also gorgeous. It opens onto a patio with beautiful views of both the grape vines and the VA countryside and mountains in the distance. You can buy a bottle (pre-chilled if white) and enjoy it and the views from the patio. As a side note, their label design is really cool. I can't say enough about how nice and engaging the staff of Ramulose were. It is a family run business with a father-son owner combo and each of their wives as the wine maker and general manager. We were able to meet three of the four family members and they are clearly passionate about what they do and determined to do it right. They definitely seem well on their way already. We will be back for sure, for the great wine, the great views, and the great people involved with this up and coming winery. read more

If you are in the Smith Mountain Lake area and are in the mood for a great wine tasting, this is the place to go. In fact, the other winery in the area wasn't even open on a Monday afternoon. Sandy was a great hostess, and we got to taste about 10 wines, all of which were great. I especially liked the cabernet franc! For a winery that has only been open to the public for a few weeks, this place is definitely worth the trip! read more

Great Winery! Sandy is a dedicated owner and worker of the Winery. She is nice and took time with us... beautiful location!

My fiancé and I are on vacation from NJ and stopped here on a cloudy day, the day after we got engaged on the lake. We tasted all of the wines, which were delicious, and the owner was so friendly and informative! We learned so much about virginia wines and had a great time. She gifted us a complimentary wine tasting for our engagement as well. Definitely stop by! read more

Great location, great wines, and even better staff. I recently had my wedding at Ramulose Ridge, and the day was perfect. The owner was super helpful the day of the wedding to make sure things went the way I wanted them to. She was also very helpful the months leading up to the wedding, and each time my husband and I stopped by to work on plans for the wedding, we were given free tastings and always offered a full glass to sip on as we went over details. Plus, the views are absolutely gorgeous there. My husband and I plan to continue to frequent this vineyard in the future. read more
