11 Best Wineries near Afton

“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!“

“Great wine and outdoor seating! They’re very dog friendly, but I wished they enforced the on leash rule a bit more. We had our dogs on leash and two dogs off leash ran off to greet us. One of our dogs doesn’t react well when off leash pups run up to them. And we had to physically pull the new pup off ours, and the dog owners weren’t even near by. I think they were the owners dogs or the owner knew them well. They were very sweet, but I wish the rules were either enforced for everyone or there was an off leash area.
But again, the wine was good, the staff was very friendly, and the environment was nice to sit outside. Recommend!“

“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!“

“We had an amazing experience when we visited Flying Fox. Tralyn was so informative and pleasant. We spent about 2 hours with her and left with 6 bottles of wine. We can't wait to return. We Left there and moved on to Veritas Vineyard for lunch. (Sister winery)!!😋☺️😁“

“This is a must visit winery in the Charlottesville area. It is one of the most beautiful vineyards I have been to. They have a great selection of wine and the staff was very friendly!“

“Blackberry Festival was so fun and if you missed it, you best plan to attend next year! Multiple vendors with many awesome products for sale… the BBQ was AMAZING, “Live Music” was amazing, and even more importantly, some of the best wine choices Virginia has to offer!“

“This is my very first time visiting a winery for a wine tasting activity with my family and I'd say the experience was wonderful. We went here late afternoon and got some red wines to try. I literally have no idea that red wine has different variations and so, because of the wine tasting we did, I found out my preferred type and it was enjoyable! The wines are amazing!

The whole King Family Vineyards offers such a cozy place with lots of wines to choose from. They also sell frozen treats, souvenirs, clothing and more. The staff are nice, too.

I've got to see people hanging out and having fun, enjoying a beautiful day around the vineyard. Some folks play some polo, too! This place is really beautiful because you see so much greenery and mountains around that makes this place the perfect spot to relax and unwind.“

“Great Virginia wines 💙💙quality and a beautiful seating.“
