“Sunday, April 22, 2024, my wife and I were entertained at Delaplane Cellars tasting room by our old friends Keith & Viqui Dill AKA the Dill Pickers. We had a fantastic time listening to some great Bluegrass and Blues selections while enjoying several glasses of exquisite wine. We are hoping that they will book the Dill Pickers in the future and give us more than one day's notice so we can invite several friends to their venue. The staff were very courteous and attentive to our needs. As a disabled Vietnam veteran, I sometimes am not the most graceful so when I accidentally knocked over my glass of wine the staff were there instantly to clean up the mess and replace my wine. Our visit was exhilarating and the views were beautiful.“
“Hosting our family gathering at Barrel Oak was pure joy. Everyone loved the wine, beer, and delicious food. Special thanks to Brooks, Adriana, Sarah, and Tyler! You all were so genuinely thoughtful and helpful, adding a special touch to our gathering which made it a success.“
“This is my happy place. The wine is good, the people are friendly and the views are exquisite. It’s only an hour 20 from DC but it’s gorgeous and relaxing. Great snacks, down-to-earth owners. Highly recommend.“
“I had a wonderful experience during my stay here. I stayed in the Adams room at the schoolhouse building. The room was beautiful extremely well appointed. The customer service has been absolutely excellent. We also had dinner at the restaurant which was phenomenal. Great menu and great wine list. I will definitely return. I’ve been visiting the Middleburg area for many years and this is my first time staying or dining at the Ashby, I’m so glad I have discovered it.“

“What a delight. I have been coming here for years and often left disappointed. But today on our winery outing, we stopped here with fair to middlin expectations. But the chef and cooks blew us away.
The sausage biscuit sandwich was to die for. The chicken salad on cranberry walnut (not a thing I usually like) was terrific. The rum cake was terrific, although I did add excellent soft butter yo it which made it sinful. The lemon chess pie wasn't very authentic, but the creamy lemon texture body was superb anyway. The mixed salad at $8“

“This is the best restaurant in the area. Yes they’re fancier places, more expensive places, but this is my favorite. El agave is a very small chain. I love all of the food I’ve ever had here. Each time down you receive salsa and chips, and they are so delicious. The salsa is so fresh, and the chips come out hot and crispy.
Service is always excellent, the food comes out quickly and efficiently. I guess my favorite dish is probably fajitas. I got chicken topped with chorizo last time I was there, it was excellent.
I make it a point to stop here every time I’m in the area !!“

“Chateau O’Brien Winery was such a great experience and is definitely worth visiting.
Lisa led our wine tasting, and she was fantastic! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, but what really stood out was how fun and engaging she made the entire experience.
We also had the chance to meet the owner, Howard, which made the visit even more special. He was so welcoming and easy to talk to, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys connecting with guests. He made everyone feel comfortable and added a really personal touch to the visit.
Between the great wines, the beautiful setting, and the warm hospitality from Lisa and Howard, Chateau O’Brien is a place I would absolutely recommend. If you’re looking for a fun and welcoming winery experience, this is definitely one to check out.“

“We called ahead and made an appointment for a Friday. The owner opened for us and was incredible!! The hospitality was amazing, she gave us a taste of everything, she was so helpful, and she told us the story of how the cidery came to be. Not to mention, the ciders are THE BEST. They supply several breweries near us, which js how we came to know about them. We decided we had to go straight to the source. Their ciders really stand out in the variety of delicious and unique flavors. 10/10 loved it! Left with a case of ciders to share with family and friends and will definitely be back!“
