Paolah was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

It is extremely inconvenient for people coming with dogs or kids. We went and had our 1 year old daughter and a dog. The dog had to go in one entrance with one of us and we had to go in another with our daughter. Dog section has no way to get any wine or drinks. Kids aren’t allowed into area to get glasses of wine. I don’t know why you’d allow dogs if they have to be kept in a completely separate area and there’s no way to even get wine there? Just don’t allow dogs… the whole place is extremely confusing and their systems don’t make sense. We left without trying anything.

They have a “dog park” they make you go to if you have a dog but there’s only 4 tables and dogs have to be on leash. It’s very inconvenient and not actually dog friendly at all. If dogs have to be on leash anyway they should be allowed at tables.

My friend and I had our first-ever wine tasting at The Winery at Bull Run, and it was unforgettable. We were lucky to be served by Elle. she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! She explained the wines beautifully and even shared some fun facts that made the experience extra special. We loved it so much, we ended up buying a bottle of the Delaney such a delightful wine!
The winery itself is beautiful, with plenty of seating and super chill vibes. There was a live band playing while we were there, and it added so much to the atmosphere. Some ladies and couples were dancing, it was actually so fun to watch and be part of!
Highly recommend visiting, and if you get Elle, you’re in for a treat! 🍷🎶

We’re members and enjoyed tasting and drinking a bottle of rose. But had problems ordering a pizza on your website. Not user friendly. Look forward to our next visit in September!

We came with a group and sat outside. Three of us went in to try wines and were told we could only taste two glasses per person. We politely asked to try a bit more since we planned to buy two bottles, but the staff gave us attitude.
What was most upsetting was when a staff member raised her voice at us outside because of our 100-day-old baby—despite us already informing them when we went to pick wines. She spoke harshly and made us feel embarrassed in front of our group.
To top it off, they accused my husband of sneaking in for a taste while he had just stepped out to use the restroom. Overall, the experience felt cold and unwelcoming.

Beautiful winery with great white and red wine selections. They offer a range of events like line dancing and have food trucks a few days a week. The only negative would be they push the wine club memberships. The fact that the person pouring mentions it 4+ times, they also have the membership info on the bar tops laminated and placed in various locations, and the brochures to sign up is a bit much imo. The employees came off as needing to meet some membership quota which is why I did not give 5 stars.

Review of The Winery at Bull Run
My wife and I had a fantastic experience at The Winery at Bull Run. The setting was beautiful, blending historical charm with a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. What truly made our visit memorable, though, was our server, Paolah.
From the moment we arrived, Paolah guided us through the wine tasting with such grace and expertise. Her knowledge of the wines—each varietal, its notes, and the story behind it—was both impressive and engaging. She took the time to tailor our tasting to our preferences, offering thoughtful recommendations that elevated the entire experience.
We left not only with a few bottles of wine we loved, but also with a genuine appreciation for the passion and care that goes into the craft. Thank you, Paolah, for making our visit so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

A group of 4 of us enjoyed our time at Bull run. Though there are things that made us decide not to join the wine club. The tastings must be done at the bar inside, standing up. They have a full tasting of 3 reds 3 white and two half tastings of 4 red or 4 white. That's a bummer for a number of reasons and not very friendly for anyone who can't stand for long periods. We decided to go for a bottle of the reconciliation which was delightful. We tasted their Norton forward blend which was also good. They did offer us 2 free tasting pours before we decided on which bottle to get which was nice. We weren't given water when we did buy our bottle, I saw on another post that you might have to buy bottled water if you want water which isn't ideal. I can't confirm for sure that is the case but again, we weren't offered water. We got pizza from the truck, it was just okay. Definitely from frozen. Oh and someone else commented on this but they don't cut the pizza all the way through so it was a struggle to eat it. One more thing- clearly it gets really busy here sometimes because there is a lot of crowd control measures in the parking lot and even walking up to the tasting room. They could do a better job of making the tasting room also, I think.

$24 for a tiny cardboard tasting frozen pizza you’d buy at the grocery store for $5.99. Forced to order online giving all personal info. No water unless you buy it. Dogs not allowed. Surprised kids are even allowed. Shame cause it’s a cool venue.

Beautiful location I attended for a work event. Feels like you are at a Winery in Italy. Also HIGHLY recommend the FORT wine which is their version of Portugese Port wine, best paired with chocolate

Paolah was so knowledgeable during our tasting. Her descriptions were spot on. We are pleasantly surprised by how many wines we liked and purchased several bottles. The atmosphere was laid back. The sandwiches were yummy. The music was great. The views were lovely. We can’t wait to come back.
