Soo good! Enjoyed the Tannat & the Cabernet Dorsa

Lisa Heverly

Such a special place. We arrived and were thinking, are we really here?! It was amazing. Simplistic, personable and informative is how I would describe our experience.

What a wonderful time this afternoon. Gabrielle was so educational and entertaining. He was an integral part of the wine experience. The whites and roses are delicious.

Quiant little winery off the beaten path. This hidden gem is an intimate spot perfect for a day of wine tasting. Excellent selections and attentive, friendly staff.

Intimate wine tasting experience in a beautiful setting. Friendly service. Bonus points for the complementary baguette and EVOO.

Enjoyed the wine here more than any of the wineries in the area, staff was very welcoming and explained a lot about the wine and winemaking in Virginia. The setting is somewhat secluded in a woodland setting which was intimate and made us feel like we were really among nature.

Hidden away, unique wines, privately sourced, simple pairings. A place to relax and enjoy. If you are anxious, rushed and enlightened, there is a place up the road.

This place is the perfect unwind with wines available no where else.

We have been here a few times, and every time, it is something special. The food and wine, along with the team that works here, always make me so thankful we decided to stop in again and already looking forward to next time. You won't be disappointed!

The wines are very good and reasonably priced. They also bring bread with oil once you’re seated and the oil is so good that you’ll have to buy a bottle to take home!

Their tasting location is small, quaint and absolutely beautiful! Fresh bread and olive oil alongside your tasting flight, and vinyl only music made for such an incredible experience. Loved the 90s rock while we were there, it brought back lots of memories! Lots of places to sit, in gazebos, open air, a few standing spots inside. Get there early, it gets really busy. The wines we sampled were all worthy of a bottle to take home. We bought three, and recently paired the Tannat with home cooked paella. A perfect pairing. Medium light in body, jammy, with a slight quick sweetness and goes dry on the palate. We can't wait to go back when we visit again. 5 star service, wine and atmosphere in the woods.

This winery should be an absolute “must stop” on your trip through Virginia wine country. They produce some unique wines you probably won’t find anywhere else in Virginia. Go on Thursday if possible. You can taste their sparkling ones on that day only! They were the stars!! And for those who are still “young at heart” the music is on vinyl!

Wonderful boutique vinyard. The white and red flights were delightful. Service staff was very attentive and friendly.

Came to purchase a bottle of wine before heading out to meet some family friends. Very welcoming and helped me pick out a bottle with a couple suggestions they had given since I’m a bit new to wine. Will be coming back again!

Enjoyed a nice afternoon here. Took several bottles home with us. Learned a lot- Our server was extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Even got to meet and visit with the father of Virginia wine!

My husband and I enjoyed our visit yesterday and were very pleased with all of the wines that we tasted. The fresh baguette and goat cheese were yummy. We had a very knowledgeable server that answered all of our wine nerd wannabe questions 😂 We especially enjoyed chatting with Gabriele he is a very sweet man and the history and stories he shared were an extra special treat.
