Lovely property. If it was mine, I would not charge $16 for a glass of wine and I would find a way to offer a wide variety of fresh snacks. I didn't feel much warmth.

Gorgeous vineyards. This is the place to hang for amazing views. Large areas to sit and relax. Big fields and great pictures here. This is a bit of a bigger production. Outdoor pavilion (enclosed), lots of seating. I assume it gets much more crowded than when I was here. Beautiful!

It was a nice place Vineyard, very large fiends and pond on the side, they also.ofder cottages for overnight staying. They close.for.general public at 6pm.and only residents of the cottage are allowed after that and that is ther time to enjoy we were told which was fair. We enjoyed our time.and.left in time. Croud.was nice and friendly also. Vine was okay. Okay. Again, not the kitchen here, no food to be served. They offer purchase of cheese sliced block and choice of chips boxes or olive box and some.othwr similar snacks. It was a nice and pieceful place. It is an ouside glass building where one can purchase a bottle. Or inside where one can do paid samples and purchase per glass only..

This place is a 10/10 for me. Every day is a perfect day to visit because the landscape is stunning on cloudy stormy days just as much as the perfect sunny days. I come here every time I finish a hike anywhere near Afton because the mountain views cannot be beat.l. There is a tasting room that was recently reopened after COVID, a separate outbuilding to sit and have a glass or bottle (both buildings have AC), and a variety of patio and lawn seating. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. They have some snacks for sale if you’re hungry but there isn’t a full menu.
There are also some cottages for rent if you want to visit and stay onsite however I’ve never stayed in one.

We had a reservation today for a bachelorette party. We had Cindy or otherwise known as Ms Kelly. She was so good and knowledgeable! She was friendly and so welcoming! Rachel and her party thank you so much!!

We did the self-guided tasting, one white, one rosé and three reds. Fantastic wines! A gorgeous property, with water, mountain and vineyard views.

Afton Montain Winery was the last vineyard at the tale end of a weekends worth to Monticello trail tastings. It was, by far, ranked as our favorite winery of the weekend! The tasting was top notch. Cindy catered the tasting to our groups personal preferences. No other winery did that. She also gave a great overview of the wineries history and winemakers approach to all their varietals. The wines were top notch and we had some pleasant surprises along the way, especially their approach to our favorite, the Cab Franc! After the tasting we each got a glass to enjoy on the view from the terrace with a charcuterie. A truely pleasant way to end the weekend. If Afton shipped to Tennessee, we would definitely order from them.

I really like the grounds here as it is breathtakingly beautiful. I mainly liked their Gewürztraminer wine. I found one of the staff members with short hair to be kind of snobby and not great with customer service but the rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful. I did not like that you could not choose which wines to try. They choose them for you and they are all served prepoured and refrigerated which I did not appreciate with some of them being reds. I would much rather choose some of the wines poured directly from the bottle.

Great wine tasting experience. Intimate and personable. Really enjoyed their Rose and Merlot.

Beautiful surroundings and amazing mountain views! The wine is quite tasty and the selection is diverse. We look forward to a return visit!
Love that they cater towards smaller parties. With so many options in the area, not sure why large parties come expecting to be accommodated without reservations. A large party showed up just before I left and had a bad attitude about their policy. There were multiple signs while driving in stating the policy as well as on their website.Keep the small group vibe! Loved it!

Fun 'bagged ' tasting presented in baby jelly jars. Nice place with great views and dog friendly.

Beautiful location and close to I-64. The Tasting Room has fantastic views and is a really pleasing space. Unfortunately, Afton charges $15 for a glass of wine and I find that pricey. Also, the sampler pack was packaged in tiny mason jars and put in a brown lunch bag, and there was no description of the winery or Wines By The hostess. Aside from the space I was not very impressed unfortunately.

I think the atmosphere is comfortable because even if it was crowded, you have a good amount of space between sitting areas with comfortable sofa. I give it 3 stars for the wine sampling, it was 5 small shot size glasses maybe 1.5oz for 18.00. If you want to charge that much at least give 4oz. Considering you make your own Wine on site this is a large mark up.
