I do with there were a better offering of snacks/food available inside. But, there has always been a food truck available with hot food offerings. As for activities I have been there once for an even Rusted Rabbit has hosted. While there I was able to sample/purchase some wine to try. The event was nice and very well thought out. We were located upstairs which has a balcony that over looks the back of the property. My friends have raved about their wines and even sangria. There has been people there singing and a band once. So it was nice to have some entertainment. I enjoyed sitting outside on the porch. We even sat down below the exterior where it was quieter. The staff have always been accommodating, knowledgeable on their product and kind. The grounds has always been well put together and clean. There is defintly attention to detail throughout the property.

The quiche, salads, and sandwiches are all outstanding--I could go on and on about the menu. The atmosphere is charming, welcoming, and full of character. I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at Act XII for 29 guests, and it was a seamless, turnkey experience. Rebecca and Caroline prepared an elegant and delicious selection of appetizers and dinner items, while Karen was incredibly helpful in choosing the perfect wines and local craft beers. Our guests were impressed from start to finish, and I was able to enjoy the evening without worrying about preparation or cleanup. Act XII also hosts monthly wine and food pairing events, which are always a treat. I highly recommend this wonderful local treasure for everyday dining as well as special occasions.

My husband and I were just passing through this beautiful town, and stumbled upon this spot. It was…read morethe only place really open past 9pm so it was an obvious choice. The bar was full but plenty of other seating available. They were quick to serve us and then we grabbed a game and played a couple of rounds of Uno at the table. We grabbed our last beer for the night and ended up in discussion with the owners of the place. The history/reason for the Brewery was an amazing story, and conversation was lovely. They're also opening an oil and vinegar shop next door and they let us check it out, their businesses are very clean and well decorated. We promised to come back the next day to buy some oil and TOTALLY forgot so I'm going to keep an eye out for the shop official open so I can buy some!! Great business, great beers, great conversation. Such an awesome stop in this quaint little area.

This is a special place. It's a working farm, it's a bed and breakfast, restaurant and a cidery…read more They grow apples and make a few different types of ciders. They have cows, pigs, chickens and ducks. Probably more. You can purchase various cuts of meats and sausages that they make from their farm animals. Their weekend brunches are wonderful. Usually served under the tent, its lovely and delicious and focuses on their farm products. The farm is beautiful. The owners are friendly and helpful. If you've never been, you should try it out.

The cider is not great. Not bad, but not great.

Finally, one week, they were back! We were so excited. We bought a dozen, my son picked up the box, which promptly collapsed and spilled all over the ground. Half were still in the box. The guy said, "aw, well, you still have some..." Terrible customer service. When your box collapses, maybe say, "hey, that's our fault, here, have another six." Whatever. We figured that if they're that legendary, at least we got some. Well, they were terrible. Barely edible. It's rare that I can't find SOME aspect to say is worth the experience... but I'm at a total loss here.

Well worth the stop!…read more We finally stopped in after passing the signs for the place for some time now. It was well worth the visit! Deb and another girl whose name fully escapes me, made our evening very enjoyable. There's nothing "fancy" at Zoll Vineyards. What you DO get is a wine list with amazingly accurate descriptions. We even found ourselves using the word "complex" while tasting one of the wines. I guess we graduated to a next level?!? There is a light menu offered including a fantastic "bread and cheese board" which I HIGHLY recommend! I had a nice chicken salad and she, a corn beef sandwich with light sides. Now is a great time of year to go sit outside, put on a bit of jazz on YouTube (low enough as to not disturb others) and go enjoy some nice wine and sangria choices at Zoll Vineyards. We did, and it was really nice.

The back deck that overlooks the river is such a gorgeous spot to enjoy the wines. Next time we will have to try the food!

There wasn't much in Tappahannock that fit the bill, so we just decided to try this place. We were more than pleased with our choice. The somewhat drab and unimpressive exterior will fool you: This place is one of the most fun and inviting places you'll ever set foot. There's a respectable selection of beer, good pub food, a wonderful little bier garden, pinball machines(!), and some of the friendliest humans (both staff and patrons) you could ever hope to meet. If I went into specifics, this would be an unreadably long review. So if you yourself in the area, just take a chance on this place, and go. You'll love it. If you don't, I have to think that's on you.
