I had a lovely experience visiting Delaplane Cellars. I hike often and try to visit a new winery after. When I get to a location for wine tasting I am often muddy or at the least very sweaty. They were very welcoming despite my hiker appearance!
The red flight was delicious. The Petit Verdot was my fave. There's a large list of snacks available, but not for vegans. They do allow dogs on the property but only on the grassy areas. It would be difficult to get service on the lawn so I wouldn't recommend bringing your dog.

As others have said, the grounds and views are gorgeous. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed their wines and the Virginia Sampler Charcuterie Board with various cheeses. This is less a negative and more of caution, be aware Delaplane Cellars is pricey. My wife and I frequent many wineries in the Valley and Delaplane Cellars is definitely on the higher end. On our last visit, we ordered one tasting, one Virginia sampler and one glass of white. The bill was $85 plus the tip. I recommend just buying a bottle and sharing it.

Make sure they give you the correct bottle or they will overcharge you for something you don’t want

Cameron waited on us and did an Amazing job. We arrived without a reservation and they fit us in. We did a red wine tasting and took a bottle of Adjacency. What a great place!

We did a guided seated tour with Matt W. What an experience!! He sat with us for almost four hours for a wide-ranging discussion about the wine making process and the various nuances of wine varieties in Virginia and North America. He was extremely knowledgeable and generously shared his time far beyond the standard tour. We highly recommend coming for the wine, the ambiance, and the company of the wine ambassadors!
Local musician, Laura Cashman took the stage with her extraordinarily nostalgic covers from the 1990s and 2000s. Overall a tremendous experience that we highly recommend to all.

This place has delicious wines and small bites, beautiful views, lots of seating inside and out, and (occasional) live music. I've been here several times and highly recommend it! Just so you know, the driveway is gravel, and parking at the main building is available in the front and back.

Randomly stopped in after spotting it on our way to the Sky Meadows State Park and was able to be seated on the patio without a reservation during late summer. We ordered one of the charcuterie boards and flights. The board options were interesting and the one we went with had great flavor, however my only critique would be it was overwhelming with cheese and underwhelming with meat and nuts, a better balance would have been preferred. The wines were all good; we are not wine enthusiasts so I cannot comment on tannins, legs, and all the other terms but I can simply say they tasted like good wine. Overall, it was a nice experience at the end of a day of trails and hiking.

Really good wines can’t really complain the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay was good in their wine tasting.

If you’re with kids under 21, just choose another winery. We gave it a try and wanted to enjoy it, but in the end it just wasn’t worth it. You can’t sit on the patio or inside; the only option is picnic tables, which are on a windy slope. The cheese board was a good value. But it’s served on paper containers, and so you might be quickly wearing it (the yummy olive oil, candied nuts, cornichos, etc) quickly once the wind does its job. Kudos to chairs that had cuts for wine glasses, but on the picnic you nervously watch the glasses from breaking. And if you’re here for a wine tasting, they won’t bring out glasses to your picnic area; parents were advised to go inside and take turns. While kids are allowed inside on the premises of the winery, it was pretty clear to us that they were not welcome.
