8 Best Wineries near Charlottesville

“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.“

“Wonderful experience! Hubby and I visited the tasting room for Valentine's Day. We shared the Reserve flight and Valentine's Wine & Chocolate flight. We took home bottles of four of the eight wines in the flights. The food, corn chowder and a crimini mushroom flatbread, was excellent too. It's all cooked to order & served at the table. Very attentive service. Beautiful setting with sweeping views. I'm so happy that we chose it to celebrate Valentine's Day. It'll be easy to persuade hubby to take me again for my birthday in the summer.“

“The first thing that stood out is the interior architecture and how the high ceiling creates an open atmosphere in the tasting room. The Seyval Blanc was the standout: crisp, refreshing, and paired well with the food, which was incredible. Every dish surpassed the mark in terms of taste, creativity and portion size. Shoutout to APimento Catering. We enjoyed the the croquettes so much we ordered a second plate haha“

“Very nice wine bar. Interior is surprisingly cozy with a wide variety of bottle options from the 9 collective participants. A limited selection of wines by the glass. We only had a shared small plate however it was very good and well priced.“

“Great service and wonderful live music outdoors. A small selection of snacks is available for purchase, and you're invited to bring your own picnic. The pimento cheese is great!

Tastings are flight format, with brief tasting notes.“

“Phenomenal wine in a beautiful tasting room setting. We stopped in for an impromptu tasting and we were delighted by the quality of wines offered. Michael Shaps has clearly developed a taste for wine that suits me, and is doing great things with both Virginia and French grapes.

The tasting room is lovely and welcoming, with lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Bonus! There are FOUR Tesla chargers available with long hookups!“

“My friends and I had such an incredible experience here this past weekend. We went for Mount Ida’s Brunch & Bingo (check their events calendar to see the next bingo Sunday) and we all had a blast. The brunch food was super yummy and the lemon + lavender mimosa was top tier. I won a bingo round and got 2 gorgeous winery glasses. Their giveaways were super cute!
Every staff member we interacted with was lovely and helpful. More than anything, what sticks out is the PROPERTY. the views, the well maintained grass, the furniture, etc. etc. It’s all gorgeous/impressive/jaw dropping. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I was very excited for Thursday nights and promoting this tiny Vinyard, here's the skinny...call ahead if there are 6 or more of you because you will be questioned, try to have a light heart because you will be called childish if you disagree and do you really want to spend $30 on subpar bottles of wine? Go to Wegmans and sit at the top of Target... I promise you, it's a better sunset. I chose to talk to Andrea about her curt introduction that made everyone feel as if we had done something wrong and unwelcome. Not only did she tell me I was wrong, she went onto claim to be the owner and said several people find her to be kind and welcoming and that my comments were heard but childish and irrelevant. We spent more than $400 before I said something to Andrea. She was ill-mennered, disrespectful, disappointing, discourteous and rude. I would reconsider before you choose "close and convenient." I was very excited to visit Chisholm vineyard for my 51st birthday. A place we have been coming to for celebrations for several years, even when it was Adventure Farms. Close to home and though the wine isn't out of the ordinary, it was a nice, quaint venue. My girlfriend reached out to several of my friends to come together for the sangria sunset on Thursday July 20th 2023, 4pm - 9pm. Upon arrival, there were 6 of us setting up at 5pm., (a couple hours later, 9), soon to be approached by the soon to be know as "owner," Andrea. Andrea came out to ask how many people would be joining us and informed us that it is not okay to just show up without a reservation. That we cannot have pinatas or confetti, mind you, Im here celebrating 51. (ie, I assure you, no piñatas or confetti) we were informed that more than 10 to 12 people had to have a reservations on Fridays (she mentioned that this is not okay at other Vinyards on Friday evenings, remember it is Thursday), and when asked at 7pm, 2 hours after we were approached by her, if it was going to get busy, as it was still very empty, she said "No." Not only did we all feel unwelcomed we felt that there was a huge opportunity to welcome us to an empty venue and appreciate the $100s of dollars we spent on the more than 10 bottles that were purchased. Andrea mentioned that this was the first Thursday of sangria Thursday to which I responded, "I know, I was so excited and told everyone this is what we are doing every Thursday," her response was, "you're welcome to stay or leave." The employee working was very kind and accommodating until the interaction and then also became very stand-offish.“
