12 Best Wineries near Afton

“We had the best time at Afton Mountain Vineyards. We had a reservation for a private tasting for 11 of us. Casey was wonderful and spent so much time with us talking about the wine and the amazing vineyard. Even the winemaker himself took time to chat with us about his process. We loved the views, the pavilion space, and the incredible tasting. Our favorite winery experience of our whole trip. The private tasting was definitely worth it.“

“This place was a lovely surprise! I've been to the Afton area several times over the past few years, usually on the Trolley Tour out of Crozet but we had never stopped here. My daughter and I were in the area on Mother's Day weekend and stopped here. I had no idea I like Vermouth! The Vermouth tasting was so good, we bought 2 bottles of the spring version. We also had a lovely flight of 6 wines (didn't care for one of the merlots but that's our taste not the fault of the winery). Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back and will bring friends!“

“Fine wines in a very friendly and laid back environment. We’ve probably driven by this place a half dozen times over as many years without stopping. This vineyard took the top honor in the 2026 Virginia Governor’s Cup and we now wish that we had stopped in sooner. We would definitely go again.“

“We've been there several times and truly enjoy the winery. Did tastings back in 2015 and just fell in love with their Quattro wine. The lication is ideal, quiet, serene and so relaxing. They do have live music, but we haven't been there to experience. We highly recommend this winery...you won't be disappointed. Staff, lication, ambiance, and quality of wines are outstanding!“

“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!“

“Had the best Friday evening here! A super inclusive, friendly, and knowledgeable crowd who are excited to chat about wine and other passions. You’ll find lots of interesting glasses on their menu and will likely leave with a surprise new favorite wine in tow. Will definitely be back for future events or just an evening glass of wine with friends!“

“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!“

“Absolutely beautiful late afternoon at Septenary Winery at Seven Oaks Farm. The Carriage House 2019, Delicious!!!“

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

“My husband and I visited King Family Vineyards for our 20th wedding anniversary on a Wednesday. WOW, we felt like family. Everyone was so nice to us. We enjoyed some champagne and wine, were assisted with WIFI, phone charging (long story, our fault, but an urgent need came up so we needed help) AND they set up the TV in the indoor guest space to play the World Cup Soccer game. It was such a wonderful day! Kudos to some very lovely people, from owners to the wine director and others as well. I highly recommend.“

“Fabulous place to spend an hour or a whole afternoon. The tasting room is cozy and the grounds are breath taking. And the wine...whether white or red,you will find a favorite. One of our favorites is the Screaming Hawk Meritage. highly recommend!!“

“Our group had a wonderful visit! One of the best wine tastings we have ever experienced. Knowledgeable and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make sure our experience was exceptional.“
