About Gabriele Rausse Winery

Gabriele Rausse Winery is a charming vineyard offering exceptional wine and a welcoming atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy delicious bread with olive oil, which is so good that many buy a bottle to take home. The tasting area is small, quaint, and absolutely beautiful, with plenty of seating options in gazebos, open air, and some standing spots inside. The knowledgeable owner provides insights into local wine history and the vineyard's unique processes, making the experience even more special. Surrounded by woods, this hidden gem offers a delightful experience for wine lovers, with friendly staff and exquisite wine. The winery produces some unique wines you probably won’t find anywhere else in Virginia, and on Thursdays, visitors can taste the sparkling wines, which are the stars of the tasting. The atmosphere is enhanced by vinyl-only music, creating a nostalgic and enjoyable setting. Many wines sampled are worthy of a bottle to take home, including the Tannat, which pairs perfectly with home-cooked paella. This winery is a must-stop on any trip through Virginia wine country, especially for those who appreciate good wine, great atmosphere, and a touch of music history.
