7 Best Wineries near Charlottesville

“We've been here several times and this visit was another excellent experience. The facility, service, food and wine selections are top drawer. The winery is set on high ground with beautiful views. Comfortable seating inside and outside. Recommend highly.“

“Beautiful natural setting, warm inviting staff. Unpretentious setting with Vinyl playing on a turntable. Wine best in Virginia!“

“My husband and I were warmly greeted in the tasting room. Got to sample before we decided on the Reisling. Wine was very good. Had plenty of outdoor and some indoor spaces to choose from to sit and enjoy the wine. You are able to bring your own food to enjoy. One of our favorite wineries to visit in Charlottesville.“

“Gorgeous setting on a working farm. Went out of the way on a Thursday for the "locals happy hour" Oakencroft advertised on Instagram, but none of the staff were apparently aware of this so they did not honor the wine special they advertised the day before. Ended up with a rose that was very dark and tart (almost a red wine), not my favorite. I would go back and try something different, and hopefully the staff will also be in the loop on what events and offers are being advertised next time.“

“Today I celebrated my birthday with Mt. Ida and it was fabulous the wine, the food all of the staff, just perfection. I have to give a special shout out to Kole who was the best, sweetest and most wonderful person, and to the tasting room manager, Lynn, brava for all that you do to keep everything running smoothly, keeping it fun and personable.
Love you! ♥️♥️♥️“

“nice tasting, real glasses, friendly hosts and several great wines“

“Had a great tasting experience at Michael Shaps. We came with our friends from Charlottesville, who were members of their club.
We did the deluxe tasting, which covered the majority of their offerings. All the wines were delicious, and our server was friendly and informative.
The winery itself is beautiful, plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the wines. There is even a Tesla charging station if you need a charge while you are touring.
Definitely make Michael Shaps a priority for your next wine tour!“
