What a lovely, comfortable, warm, mulled wine night. Relaxing and peaceful, the way it should be on a cool Friday, just what this area needed! Kevin and Yvonne Ford have worked very hard and done a wonderful job!! Red Heifer Winery is a rustic and welcoming place with incredible mountain views. From the bluegrass festivals in the summer, Happy Hour Yoga, and Fall/Winter Friday evening music, I have enjoyed every moment. And bonus, the wine is excellent. Cheers and salud to making your dreams come true, and sharing with the community! read more

Who would think that a vineyard could survive never mind thrive one of the highest hills in the area. It is high, I hike up the dang thing on the Appalachian trial! You turn off Raven Rock Road onto a gravel track that heads up, up & up! You pass mountain goats that are gasping for breath such is the climb. The goats are cute though, so I stopped to talk to them in goat. My wife found this amusing. Little did she know that they were my goat spy friends passing secrets about the wines she was soon to taste. Red Heffer is a small place, tiny even. Might fit twelve people in the tasting room is they were all greased up with goose fat. The goose fat will also insolate against the old winds that buffet this amazing vineyard on the top of a mountain. Don't let the fact that this place is out there in the sticks put you off! The owners are great company. The husband/wine maker also kept me up to date with my friend the local bear. (I met the bear on a hiking trip, he stared at me whilst I soiled myself. The presence of being in the company of one of Americas greatest animals being too much for me. More so as he jumped out in front of me, 20 yards down the trail) but I digress... The wines are some of the best my wife has tasted, the presentation was great. I mean in most wineries you do not talk to the owners never mind the wine makers themselves! And when you do it is rarely of wine of this quality. Truly a must visit if you are in the area. Though I do insist that you talk to the goats, they provide the best gossip. read more

Nice wines, beautiful setting. We enjoyed a glass outdoors at one of the many tables. We took a bottle of the Red Heifer Red home with us. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. They are expanding so that has to be a good sign, right? The driveway is long, steep, windy, and rocky. Not sure what they can do about that. read more

Great tasting wines here. I went here with several friends that knew that recommended this place, and we had a good time. We did a wine tasting, and we ended up getting a few bottles. My favorite dry wine they have would the signature Red Heifer, and my favorite sweet wine would be the Niagara. I can really taste the grapes in the Niagara wine. They also had live music tonight due to the Small Business Saturday, but I do not believe they do that every week. Great place, great wine, and great people. read more

Nice owners and a very beautiful location. Very pleasant atmosphere. Wine is too expensive and the Rose was terrible though.

The location is beautiful, wine and food delicious and owner and staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the trip!

Red Heifer was amazing! The igloos were perfect to escape your house and enjoy a winter day with a bottle or three of wine. The snow made it look stunning and the sunset was unbelievable. read more

Before you head to this winery, make sure you have a reservation of some sort. They rent the igloo tents out for $35 for 2.5 hours and require you spend $85 minimum during your stay. We did not rent one and arrived to drink wine outside by the fire pit. We were first kicked out of a space because someone "rented" the fire pit space. They had us move to another fire pit and waited until we got inside to tell us they charge $25 to light a fire!! We thought this was the most ridiculous thing we had ever heard. It was pretty chilly and they let us sit outside and freeze as we drank their mediocre wine. read more

Today was our first time there. It was amazing. The staff was so friendly. The only thing that beat the staff and wine was the view of the mountains off in the distance. Looking forward to going again in the fall when the leaves start to change. read more

The wines, service, and views are always spectacular. The special sangria was wonderful on a very warm day.

Left a message on your voicemail. Would like to set up a tasting for family in the area. Looking forward to getting your wine out in Hawaii. Aloha read more

First time ever going to a winery and I think the woman that was behind the counter kind of ruined it for me and my fiancé. We told her when we walked in we've never been to a winery and when we asked questions she answered us and talked to us like we were stupid. She seemed to try and rush us as well even though we were the only people there inside. Would like to try another winery in the future but we will not be going back to the Red Heifer. read more

By chance stumbled on this winery during one of its festivals. The live music was great, my pup on a leash was welcomed, the taco truck was stellar, and very friendly staff. Overall a great experience with a friend that happened by chance. If we are in the area again, it will definitely be a place we'd visit again. read more

I was particularly impressed with the fact that we drove 2 hours to visit wineries in western Maryland, and when we called to make sure they were open, they helped us, even though they'd debated closing for mildly inclement weather. Extremely friendly and accommodating couple. Ended up leaving with 6 bottles, one of which I made into a wonderful mulled wine which I am enjoying as we speak. Having only been in business for about a year, I really want to see what new wines they expand with, and look forward to going back again or seeing them at the MD wine festival. read more

Had a wonderful visit at Red Heifer Winery today. The wine was delicious, and the staff pleasant, friendly, and knowledgable. The driveway up to the winery is a bit long and steep, so be prepared. The trip is well worth it! read more

Very beautiful setting and delicious wines. No cheese or other food, and only portapotties, but if that doesn't bother you this then you will have a good time. read more

Stopped by yesterday on our return trip to Amish wood mill. Good size portions and reasonable price for the wine tasting, unlike some other wineries. You could really taste the wines with more than 1 sip. All of their wines were good and we left with a couple bottles. Are definitely adding this to our vineyard/winery repertoire! read more

What a delightful late-afternoon visit today with friends. This is a lovely, growing winery, easy to find and not for those with low-slung fancy cars! Are we there yet?--thought going up the driveway. The generous tastings of 5 for $5 easily pushed me to take home 4 bottles. There was a great standing bass and guitar duo playing--"Strung Tight"--super fun. Very relaxed, very comfy. Good things coming from this little place. read more

We just discovered this winery a few weeks ago and it's our new favorite. Beautiful views, excellent wine, especially the blue berry wine, Chambourcin and red heifer wine. The owners are very friendly and attentive and I love their 3 dogs that protect the grape vines. It's not overly crowded like other wineries and such beautiful scenery! read more

I love this place. Beautiful views and setting. I enjoy their wines, especially the dry whites. All times I have visited there has been music, making for an extra special atmosphere. read more

Awesome little family run winery on a beautiful small vineyard. It's much more a down to earth, low key spot than I expected, which makes it very calm and charming. The turn for their driveway sneaks up on you off the main road, and there's only small signage, so be on the lookout! Once you turn off, it's a bit of a bumpy ride up to the winery, but nothing a normal car can't handle - just go slow! At the top of the hill, it opens up to a few buildings, a parking area, and one heck of a view. The tasting room is located on the first floor of the main building - it's cozy, but plenty of space for a small winery. They offer tastings @ $5/5 tastings - there are 10 wines on their list, so we went ahead and just shared a tasting of each - total of $10 for 10 tastings. They sell all their wines by the glass as well as bottle (obviously!) and you can enjoy them on the outside patio and grass. You're also welcome to bring snacks/food to enjoy there as well. The winery hosts local bands and musicians - check their website for up to date information. Not a big, flashy winery, but that's exactly what makes it a super cool place you should check out if in the area! read more

Red Heifer is amazing! The owners couldn't be more friendly and the wine is great! Live music on the weekends!

Great little winery. Stopped here after hiking near by and the owners were very hospitable. The wine and the views were spectacular.

I used to have to go to VA for wineries. I have been visiting Boonsboro for 30 years and was unaware of this hidden gem until last winter! I have gone twice now and feel like Red Heifer is a friendly community-oriented winery that welcomes you with open arms. The owners are a lovely couple, and the wine is delicious. I can't wait to watch this winery grow. No need for VA wine anymore. Drink local! read more

A few friends and I decided to stop by Red Heifer Winery during a self-guided Maryland winery tour. We toured several wineries in the area, however Red Heifer was our favorite, by far! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially considering we had a large group of about 15 people. We did a tasting, which was incredibly affordable (around $5 to try all the wines), and I am kicking myself for not picking up a few more bottles to bring home. We were encouraged to bring a picnic, which we enjoyed overlooking the beautiful vineyard. I was incredibly impressed with Red Heifer Winery and cannot wait to go back for another visit! I have nothing but great things to say about Red Heifer. read more
