I visited Valley Road Winery with four of my girlfriends, and we had the most fantastic time. The setting is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for sipping wine and sharing laughs. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived.
A special shout-out to Ann, who was so fun and incredibly accommodating—she made our visit extra memorable. We also enjoyed meeting two of the co-owners, Barbara and Stan—it was such a treat to chat with them and learn more about the winery’s story.
Their Cab Franc was my personal favorite—smooth, flavorful, and We’ll definitely be back!
We had our wedding at Valley Road Vineyards in May 2025 and had an excellent experience from start to finish.
We toured several wineries in the area, and Valley Road stood out for several reasons. The venue and scenery are gorgeous, the prices are very reasonable for the area, and their wine was the best we tried.
The ceremony lawn has an incredible mountain view, and the reception barn spaces, inside and out, felt welcoming and well-designed. With the natural beauty of the property and the ambiance created by the string lights in the evening, we didn’t have to spend as much on extra decor or florals to get the feeling we wanted. The getting-ready areas (the groom’s lodge and bridal loft) were both very comfortable and made for great photos.
We were very impressed with the VRV team. Barbara was a complete rockstar! She was organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole planning process, which we did from out of state. She, Stan, and the rest of the team clearly care a lot about what they do, and it shows in every detail.
On the wedding day itself, Ben and Esther handled everything smoothly and kept things running on schedule. Ben was awesome to work with. He was prepared and engaged the whole time, and had a great friendly energy which helped set the right tone for the day. The whole day felt like a fairytale because everything was so beautiful and went so smoothly. One of our favorite memories of the day was being able to ride up into the vineyard for some photos and getting to pause for a moment to take in the stunning mountain views together.
Overall, we were really happy with our decision and would recommend Valley Road Vineyards to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that you’ll feel confident in!
Ann was wonderful to work with to make a reservation for our group of 8 people. When we arrived, she greeted us and showed us to our table, which was perfectly situated in the shade with a view of the mountains. We enjoyed the picnic that we brought and a few flights of their award-winning wine.
Great views, great wine, great people, great prices! Trading was wonderful and I purchased something out of my comfort zone because the taste was that good to me!
Excellent wine and friendly staff! I appreciated all the different options for flights: red, white, classic, and on the sweeter side, since I feel like most wineries only do red and white wine flights. I loved the view of the mountains from Valley Roads Vineyards.
Great place live the wine bought 3 bottles!!! The lady even gave us great ideas for things around as we are from out of town
My husband and I got married at Valley Road a couple of weeks ago, and if we could, we would give them 11/10 stars! The venue is gorgeous, and the staff were so kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Barbara made the planning process so much easier and always responded to our emails quickly and efficiently! Ben, our point of contact day of, was incredibly kind and helpful as well! Not to mention, the wine is phenomenal!
Valley Road Vineyards is a true hidden gem with stunning views, fantastic wine, and lovely staff members. We would recommend VRV to any couple searching for their dream venue and to anyone looking for a delightful winery experience in the Afton area!
We visited Saturday and as soon as we entered the tasting room we received a warm welcome. My husband ordered a glass of merlot and I got a glass of Meritage which was excellent. We sat out on the deck by the pond and enjoyed the beautiful vineyard and mountains in the background. We only went to a few wineries in the area but this was our favorite and had the best wine.
I recently attended a wedding at Valley Road Vineyard. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the wine was delicious, however, the overall experience was tarnished due to the rude vineyard staff. There were also many stink bugs inside of the venue which was very distasteful. When couples spend thousands of dollars on their wedding venue, there is a level of service that is expected. Many of the other reviews posted allude to rude staff which could make or break a couples big day.
We are so glad we picked Valley Road Vineyard for our wedding venue. From start to finish, our experience with Barbara was excellent. The venue itself is stunning – the vines, mountains, and barn are gorgeous. Every detail of the facilities at Valley Road allowed for a wonderful atmosphere for our special day. We had to move our wedding inside and the indoor rain option at Valley Road is just as beautiful as the outdoor option. Additionally, the ability for the bride to get ready in the venue’s bridal suite and the groom to get ready in a separate groom’s suite was a huge selling point for us. Our favorite part of our wedding was our first look in the vines. We could have stayed in those vines forever!
We love that we can go back to the vineyard any time we want, drink wine and remember our special day. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. We are so grateful for the unforgettable memories and would recommend Valley Road Vineyard to anyone looking to make their wedding day truly extraordinary.

Very good place
Cac franc is the best in my opinion. Merlot second. Frose also delicious for girls. Pizza is good and affordable but lacks in the amount of cheese they provide on it.

Great wine and atmosphere. We really enjoyed the flights.
Wonderful greeting and atmosphere. I'm a fan of their Sparkling Wines here and the new year of Albino is a must try!
