Fantastic, intimate winery experience off of 29. The family started this winery a few years ago and live a few steps away from the vineyard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Most are estate grown grapes and delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I noticed the whites have a honey note and the reds are well balanced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Michael walked us through a guided tasting of all 8 wines - and we learned a ton! There's seating inside and outside for small groups only. Feel free to bring your own snacks read more

I loved that this winery was dog friendly, but a lot of them are in the area. I also thought the staff and family of the owner were very nice and their pups were so cute. And the view was also very nice though not as picturesque as other local wineries. Problem is I just didn't care for their wines. Now, wines are subjective and this place does have 4.5 stars, so judge for yourself. But for me, there were a number of better wineries for the view and/or the wines (though not always both). read more

If you have a long list of VA wineries and short on time this is one that can be skipped bc the wines are really fruity and unless you can grab a spot at the pergola, then the views aren't as good as others. We love that this small winery is dog friendly. The views of the rolling hills at the pergola are quite lovely but not as jaw-dropping as King or Veritas and others. I used to be a more sweet wine drinker but my palate has matured so these wines were just too young for me. For those just getting into wine these may be a good starting point since they did have some Governor Cup bronze winning wines. read more

Reynard Florence is a wonderful boutique winery in Orange County, Virginia. They were recommended to my wife and I by friends, and we found the owners Roe and Dee to be very friendly and welcoming. When we walked in the door of the tasting room, we were greeted by two of the cutest Corgis we've ever seen. Jill helped us put together a white and a red tasting. We are by no stretch wine connoisseurs, but they did have a number of very good wines. Among the white wines, my wife very much liked the 2019 Petit Manseng. We also liked the 2018 Ti Rey Rose, which also had the distinction of being named after Roe and Dee's Corgi. We both agreed that the 2019 Petit Verdot was the class of the reds, though I did also like the Malbec. We purchased 3 bottles to take home. We decided on the Petit Manseng, the Petit Verdot, and of course the Ti Rey Rose. All in all it was a delightful stop. In our travels throughout the heart of Virginia, we've found a number of restaurants, cafe's, general stores, and now wineries that have captured our hearts as well as our taste buds. Reynard Florence Vinyard is definately on that list. read more

Incredible views, incredible wine, and incredible hospitality! You cannot ask for more when stopping by a winery. When you walk inside, the winery team is welcoming and ready to help you choose a bottle or glass of wine that perfectly fits what you're looking for. They are knowledgeable and ready to make suggestions. We enjoyed a bottle of the rosè in the pergola, which has amazing views, and then moved closer to the building to finish. This place is a must stop if you are in the area, or if you're looking for great wine! read more

Man this place is awesome. The people that run it are incredibly sweet. The grounds are beautiful and there is more than enough space to feel safe COVID wise. We sat in this little sitting area in the middle of the vineyard, which is a great option if you want to have completely your own space. Everyone who worked there respected social distancing as well which is always appreciated. The wine tasting flight was delicious and a great price for what you get. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Small winery with a French flair. Focus on dry reds...which they do exceptionally well. 4 acres of grapes, with their reds being estate but their whites being locally sourced. 800 cases a year. I'm pretty shocked such a tiny place was so good. I love my dry reds, and they deliver. The wine maker sneakily got his wife to agree to starting this business, likely in part to appealing to her French sensibilities by allowing her to set the theme (she's a French teacher, after all). Wonderful view from the top of the hill, looking out at the vines. What I tried: 2014 Viognier: OK; nothing that blew me away 2015 Chardonnay: The French Oak comes thru in the creaminess. 2013 Cab Franc: Red fruit forward, little pepper but not bell-pepper. 2015 Merlot: Cherry notes 2013 Recherché red blend (PV heavy): Liked it but didn't love it 2014 Recherché red blend (Cab Franc heavy): Big nose, but again liked it but didn't love it. 2013 Petit Verdot: By PV standards, not especially bold, but still very nice. Grenache: Yes, this is one of the few Grenache growers in this area. Not tasted but I bought a glass. Love this grape; spicy but not peppery. read more

Wine was mediocre. Tasting was $15+ for 4 wines. I could not believe the minuscule tasting pour...not even enough to taste. I can tell employee was well schooled on minimizing tasting pour by the way he looked at each plastic cup to make sure he didn't pour too much. In hindsight, I should have just told the young man to keep it and left. I'll never be back to Reynaud Florence which I first visited maybe 10 years ago. There are too many better wineries around. Owners use to be there, but no sign of them this visit. Maybe wines might have tasted better if there had been a second swallow. read more

Words could not explain the gratefulness in my heart that I have for Dee & Roe. Long story short they stepped in to host - 3 days before mine and my now husband's wedding when our original venue fell through. They did not know us, but they truly felt like family on this included day. I don't know how I could ever repay them for their generosity, but I have waited to get our wedding photos back to write this review. Amazing wine, I love the rose personally - named after my favorite corgi Ti Rey. read more

You MUST stop here while touring the vineyards around Barboursville!!! The tasting room is quaint, nicely decorated with a jazzy flair and the lady who works it is knowledgeable and friendly. The owner (who popped in) is equally as friendly, we enjoyed chatting with him. The wines all tasted VERY nicely! Their whites are blended by Michael Shaps. The reds are very nicely blended as well. We really enjoyed all of their wines and bought 3 different bottles. They have a pretty in-ground pool there, which they explained is open to wine guests during the summer as well, which is odd, but interesting and intriguing! They offer seating inside and outside on a patio or in the vineyard. Overall, we were very happy with the wines, the staff and the venue and we look forward to going back! read more

We loved most of the wines, but the service is the reason to go. What an informative tasting and the live music was delightful! Being able to speak one on one with the owner of a small local winery is priceless. The grounds are small but lovely, and you feel right at home as soon as you arrive.

Loved this place! We stopped by for a flight and ended up buying a couple bottles because it was so tasty. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills/mountains, and the cutest corgi ever! Plenty of room to social distance and a fire pit and heaters. read more

Very nice wines!! We usually go to Barboursville vineyard but this cute little place has just become our new favorite. We liked every wine but our favorites are Reynard Blanc (2013), Cabernet Franc (2010) and the Recherche (2013). Kids loved the dog, access to water (in a wine glass) and the crackers ($1 per pack). read more

Reynard Florence Vineyard - Yummy! - Wineries Near Me - Barboursville, Virginia

We went to Reynard Florence Vineyard in Barboursville on Saturday. We brought our 12 week old pup to work on socializing, he was leashed. The vineyard corgi came down the hill to approach and then bit my pup, breaking his skin near his eye. The owner came to get her dog and said that he can be territorial and laughed it off. She took him him, but if she knows this about her dog then why let him roam the facility unleashed?! read more

This place was a gem of a find. There is not a single grapes sign along the road indicating that it exists like many winery's in VA have. The owners were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. The tasting price was extremely reasonable and definitely worth it because all of the wines were delicious. I'm typically opposed to at least one of the reds everywhere I go (usually merlot) but every wine here was crisp, light, and flavorful. Some of them were complex and others were simple and drinkable.. overall a great mix of very well made wines! The location and atmosphere are perfect for a nice winery trip. I went with my boyfriend and we were lucky enough to sit under the pergola that is amidst the vineyard. From this raised area you have a beautiful view of the mountains/valley ahead that is so perfect on a nice day! They also have outdoor seating in the front and on the back porch. I also love dogs, and the owners have their adorable Corgi, Ti Rey, in the winery. He is such a sweetheart and the dry rosé wine they have named after him is delicious as well! I will definitely be making a trip back sometime because it was just a lovely stop. FYI if you're going with a party of 8 or more, they prefer to have someone call and make arrangements ahead of time because the tasting room could get rather crowded with too many people! read more

I've died and gone to red heaven. I visited Reynard Florence early last year, and walked away thoroughly impressed by the quality of the wine produced by such a small, mom-and pop winery. Here I am, back a full year later, and I am on the floor (next to the Corgi) over how good the wines are here, specifically the reds. I would write about the tremendous whites - the dynamic Reynard Blancs, the fruity and fragrant Viognier - but I'm much to excited to talk about the reds. It's very rare that I could purchase every wine off the list, but that's what I nearly did if not for my girlfriend tackling me and taking away my credit card. At the risk of over selling, each of the reds I tried was magnificent. Every. Single. One. Starting with the 2010 Cabernet Franc, which is a hard wine to pull off on its own and not as a blend. The Cab Franc opens with dark cherries and figs and ends with chocolate and a little bit of pepper spice, all perfectly balanced. Next out was the 2013 Merlot, a new release. A silky Merlot is what made me fall in love with red wines, and this one reminded me of that love at first taste - silky smooth with raspberry/cherry and rich tannins. The blended NMA IV 2012 blend was next, made of Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot (with a little Grenache), easily my three favorite red blend wines. The complexity of the wine is off the charts, as you get the smoothness of the Merlot, the dark cherry of the Cab Franc, and the dryness of the Petit Verdot. Then we come up on an old favorite, the 2013 Petit Verdot (readers will remember I purchased the first bottle of this last year). Just as good as I remember, full bodied, and dry, packed with tannins and plum. The grand finale was the Recherche 2013, which I am drinking as a write this review. This Bordeaux style blend of Cab Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, it's the most perfectly balanced red on the tasting, and immensely drinkable right now (although I am regretting not letting it age a bit for additional complexity). All in all, I walked out of Reynard Florence with only three bottles of red, as my girlfriend and I need to save something for rent/food, and I immediately regret not getting a whole case. If you're a fan of big bold reds, blended or otherwise, you will be right at home in Reynard Florence. read more

Delightful place to visit. Liked all the reds, especially the Cab Sauv and Malbec. The whites are good too, our favorite was the Petit Manseng. Definitely a place that deserves a visit read more

a beautiful little winery located not too far from Charlottesville and we really enjoyed the wine tasting experience here than what we experience at Barboursville vineyards. I highly recommend visiting this little winery owned by a passionate wine loving couple and you won't be disappointed. my personal favorites were their petit manseng which seems to grow well here in Virginia and their Bordeaux style blend. small production but a really satisfying experience. read more

Quiet, backroad winery on the Monticello wine trail. Sample led the Malbec and 2017 Recherche red blend. Both balanced and drinkable.

A nice place and the wines are good. Our second time here visiting. The two ladies operating the tasting room are very sweet and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a quiet place to overlook the vineyard and drink a glass, this is your place. read more

Cozy tasting room, a nice variety of wines, and very friendly staff. Not as breathtaking as other wineries in the region, but certainly worth a stop! read more

This winery had my favorite wine on our 2015 Monticello wine trail! It is a very small farm winery with a friendly winemaker who blends the wine and does the tastings himself. Very ma & pa. I really appreciated his dedication to winemaking and it's pretty apparent why their wine is the best. He really puts his heart and soul into the wines. I loved almost all of their wine but bought a bottle of the NMA IV, which was a lovely blend of most of the reds. Be sure not to miss this newer winery on your tour: it was MUCH better than Keswick winery. read more

Was surprised that the owner, Dee, gave the tasting! Their wines were very good. We bought the Petit-Manseng. I would go back for sure! The dog layed on my husband's feet. Very cute! read more

A must visit if you're in Barboursville visiting those other much larger wineries. Very warm and welcoming owners with quality wines. My personal favorite reds are the Petit Verdot and Grenache. Of the whites, the Petit Manseng is one of the best you'll find. So good, it always sells out. If you stop by on Sunday you just might catch a little music on the deck. Perfect place to enjoy a picnic with a glass or bottle. You won't be disappointed. read more

Lovely little winery! Dee was so welcoming. My husband and I really enjoyed talking to her, tasting the wines, and petting the adorable dog. The wine was very good and I really liked the Picasso and other art on the walls. Highly recommend! read more

A best kept secret, near the more popular Barboursville and Horton wineries. This is what Virginia wine is all about - owners and winemakers serious about their craft. I'm not a huge sweet white fan and was surprised at how much I enjoyed their Petit Mansengs (straight Mansengs and blends with other off sweet to sweet grapes like Traminette). The Cab Franc and Reynard rouge (Fox Meadow has a similar red name) are my two favorites here. The atmosphere is low key and the view from the small patio is wonderful. read more

This place was pretty good-a pleasant surprise. Parking was not the greatest (there were no spaces when we left), but the wine is definitely worth the visit/tasting. We are red wine drinkers, but we enjoyed almost all the wines they had, even the whites. Very small, homey, friendly place. Although the wines were good, we didn't buy any because they were a bit pricey for us. If you want very good and affordable wines, check out Burnley vineyards. Since the wineries are near each other, try them both! read more

Of the three wineries we visited in Charlottesville, Reynard Florence was the clear winner! It's GORGEOUS and small, with very few other visitors, and a much more personal experience. We were able to sit outside at a picnic table for our tasting, as they brought the wine out to us. SO much nicer than standing at a crowded table! Also they were very kind. I'm not a huge wine drinker so I can't say that much about the wine (I mean I liked it, but that's not saying much) but it was just $5 for a good number of tastings. You won't find a more intimate, adorable experience. read more

The wine was excellent. I'm generally more of a red wine drinker but I loved the whites here. The owners were also very friendly and talked to us about all their wines. We walked away with a bottle of white but i could have happily taken home one of each. I highly recommend stopping by this little winery! read more
