The glass pavilion is really nice to sit in and take in the view. We just did a red wine flight and then purchased a glass of our favorite one. They are pricey, but it was still a nice place to check out.

We came by for an afternoon tasting and it was perfect! The atmosphere, especially in the pavilion, was wonderful and the views of the mountains and vineyard were gorgeous. The wine was great and we left with a few bottles. We brought our pups and the staff were very sweet and gave them treats. And we brought a picnic - I recommend bringing your own food. Their selection is nice but it’s a little small, so if you really want a spread of nosh food, bring your own. Definitely recommend this winery!

The service and atmosphere were incredible. The wine was pretty good but the atmosphere and music definitely made up for it. Make sure to stop by when visiting! Chris was fantastic.

We had a bachelorette group, and this winery was so accommodating. Chris especially did a great job explaining things, giving recommendations, and making us feel right at home!

Lisa gave me a guided tour of their wines. She was down to earth, knowledgeable and helpful. All the wines I tried were very good. I did decide on a nice red, Bacco. For a very hot day, the glassed in pavilion was wonderful with the ac. Great views of the vineyard anywhere you sat in there! We were there on July 4th. It wasn't overly crowded which was nice. I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere along with my wine. I will be back!

Beautiful vineyard on top of the mountain

Oh thank goodness Afton is still making wine. The reds and whites are as delicious as ever! No ham sandwiches here.

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.
