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!

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.

This Mother's Day weekend, we finally decided to tour Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont --…read morethe country retreat of American artist Gari Melchers. This has been on my FXBG bucket list for quite some time, and honestly, I have no idea why we waited so long to visit. What an absolute treat it was. For those unfamiliar with him, Gari Melchers was one of the most respected artists of his generation, known for his portraits, murals, and landscapes. Born in Detroit to German immigrants, he studied art in Düsseldorf and Paris before eventually settling at Belmont Estate in Falmouth, Virginia, near Fredericksburg. Even President Theodore Roosevelt sat for one of his portraits during Melchers' prolific career. I won't go too deep into the history lesson here, but I will say that his "country retreat" was absolutely stunning. My husband and I spent a couple of hours wandering through the gardens, touring the home, and exploring Gari's personal studio. It was such a peaceful and immersive experience. I found myself completely absorbed in his story, his artwork, and the beauty of the property itself. Since I was in a dress, we skipped the walking trails this time, but we definitely plan to go back soon in more appropriate attire to explore them. If you enjoy history, art, architecture, or simply beautiful places, I highly recommend adding Belmont to your list of places to visit.

Excellent tour. Beautiful art studio and museum. There is also a hiking trails inside. Highly…read morerecommended.

The Most Unacceptable Hotel Experience I've Ever Had…read more My stay at Hyatt Place Fredericksburg at Mary Washington was the most unacceptable hotel experience I've ever had. During the night, a pair of women's panties fell out of the bedsheets onto the floor. There is no misunderstanding or excuse for that. It means the bed linens were not properly stripped or changed after the previous guest. I definitively slept in a bed that someone else had already slept in before me. I had been sleeping naked in those sheets under the assumption I was in a clean, properly prepared room. Instead, I was put into used bedding that had clearly not been serviced to even the most basic housekeeping standards. That creates serious sanitation concerns. No guest should ever have to worry about exposure to used sheets, leftover personal items, bodily residue, bacteria, skin contaminants, or any other hygiene risks because a hotel failed to do the bare minimum. What made this even worse was management's response. Rather than Joshua, the manager, taking ownership of the situation, apologizing, and making it right, the hotel chose to cancel my stay and ban me from the property. Instead of correcting a legitimate cleanliness failure, they attempted to silence the guest who reported it. Think about that: a customer reports sleeping in dirty sheets with another guest's underwear still in the bed, and management's solution is to remove the customer rather than address the problem. That tells you everything you need to know about accountability at this property. I expected Hyatt standards. What I received was a deeply unsanitary room and a management team more concerned with avoiding responsibility than doing the right thing. Avoid this location if cleanliness, professionalism, and guest respect matter to you.

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.

We wanted a venue that offered great food and an intimate, cozy space, and this was exactly that and more. From the very beginning, Jennifer was absolutely fabulous -- professional, kind, and incredibly organized. When rain threatened to derail our outdoor ceremony plans, she met us the morning before to help us work out a seamless Plan B. Thanks to her calm guidance, we never felt stressed for a moment. The menu created by the chef was outstanding. We chose to do heavy hors d'oeuvres instead of a formal sit-down dinner, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The food was plentiful, creative, and absolutely delicious -- our guests are still talking about it! Stevenson Ridge truly delivered everything we hoped for: wonderful food, a beautiful and intimate setting, and a team that went above and beyond to make the day special. We can't recommend it highly enough.

We had called a couple weeks…read moreprior to reserve the chairs but were informed we didn't need to do that because we needed such a small amount. When I arrive the place is kind of dirty in the upfront area and it's completely disorganized. The woman at the front desk can't take my rental so she has to call the owner who then asks me to provide all of my credit card information to her over the phone and she would send me a receipt. Just the whole thing was very uncomfortable, in addition they charge a 4% fee for any card usage. So if you are renting from them I highly recommend cash. Also check to make sure the items you leave with are in good condition and take pictures before you leave the property.. overall the rental was cheap but I don't know that I'd go back or recommend this place.
