I am a sucker for flights and they have flights of Mead so that was the main draw for me and it gives you a chance to sample a variety of flavors and blends. They have an entire wall of award-winning Meads. The atmosphere really elevates the experience. With live music, a welcoming outdoor seating area, and a relaxed cozy vibe inside it's a place to spend a few hours unwinding. They offer light snacks, which pairs nicely with the drinks. One of the fun extras and their gift shop is the honey varieties.

Their passion for creating exceptional meads shines through the staff's outstanding service and storytelling in each batch. What truly distinguishes Silverhand, beyond the quality of its product, is the thoughtfully curated member experience. Quarterly subscription pickups are always seamless, and the perks--early‑release tastings, exclusive blends, and members‑only events--make the membership feel like a genuine community.

It was a heartfelt tribute to a decade of dedication. In short, Silverhand Meadery consistently delivers delicious meads and honey, generous member benefits, and unforgettable experiences that celebrate both the product and the people behind it.

I tried the flight of four but you also have the option of 10 which comes with complimentary nuts. I had to smell each of them before tasting as I do with fine to get the full flavor of each. They are actually celebrating there 4 year anniversary on 10th! My guide was amazing she walked through each drink, gave her recommendations of the menu. Razz actually delivers here if you want food options so don't come hungry unless you don't mind ordering in! Today they closed at 2-230 but I hadn't over plans anyway. Definitely if you are out this side of town pop in and try some meads!

I recommend sampling a few before purchasing a glass. They're not all sweet, nor do they all taste like a traditional wine that many are used to. And a flight of 4 is $15. As for the food, we asked for our charcuterie board to go, and it was still pretty in the box. There's also honey sticks, body care items, mugs and apparel.

The presentation was just 10 out of 10. The contents were not bad either - little bit of strawberry, blueberry, grapes for fruits, various sausages and hams, and 3 different cheeses. Great experience!

My husband and I visited Williamsburg Winery during our Thanksgiving-week holiday and decided to do…read morethe 8-glass wine tasting. From the very first pour, we could tell the tasting was going to be generous and by the time we reached our eighth glass, we were definitely feeling tipsy. LOL We especially appreciated how the Winery has crafted its offerings over decades: from its historic vineyard on the Wessex Hundred estate to its reputation for elegant Virginia wines made with a strong sense of place. They offer reds, whites, dessert wines, and more. Along with our tasting, we did enjoy the charcuterie box. Now i will say that box was not worth the $22 paid. Everything was delicious inside; it was just the portion was tiny. In short, it felt like the perfect holiday outing: relaxing, indulgent, and charming. Also, the decor there was so cute and i loved all the Christmas decorations. We ended up buying five bottles to take home! If you enjoy wine and enjoy laid-back vibes on a winery estate, Williamsburg Winery is definitely worth a stop.

The winery is not huge, but it is such a cozy and comfy ambiance, with a gorgeous view of the grapes and goats. Worth the visit. I know we will be back!

We stood in a long line just to be told we could not purchase anything. We did go back to the car and found some cash for a glass of wine. The cashier recommended their "bacon castle" red wine and it was pure vinegar - we had to pour it out. My Mom wanted to try their wine slushy, which is what we paid for, but then were told they are completely out and we would have to wait at least another 20 minutes for it to be made. We then asked for a spritzer instead, which was cheaper $6 cheaper for two glasses. But when we asked for the money difference back, the cashier looked at us like we were the crazy ones. Plus, the spritzer was not good either. We did like the little goats roaming by the tower though, which provided a nice ambiance, but that's about it.

They welcome dogs and you are able to bring in food delivery if you'd like. Lots of games and cozy seating areas for groups!
