11 Best Wineries near Delaplane

“We had a great time visiting. Really high-quality and slightly unconventional wines. Very friendly people and a beautiful property. Folks who are really into the mainstream of Virginia wines should do themselves a favor and take a very rewarding step off the beaten path with Arterra.“

“To be honest I did visit Cobbler Mountain on a Friday and their website said that you should make a reservation. When I approached the door an employee said to come right in. I was excited because it is off the beaten path and I had no cell service to call.

The Great Harvest Bread Company was onsite for the weekend. They had a delicious veggie sandwich they took the cheese off of to meet my dietary needs. I am happy they were there because I had been hiking and was hungry!

I chose a flight of ciders (all were good so I can't recommend a specific flavor). The wooden holder they served it in was cute, but not practical. Be careful when taking it off the bar because the back of it is open. It will tip over if you're not careful.

I didn't get to see the tasting room because they were preparing for a busy Father's Day weekend. I had to go up in the loft or suffer the heat outside. The loft is not a fun place to be, I might add. It's stuffy and no one else went up there.

Overall it was okay, the service was average (except for the Great Harvest Bread Company). I might go back but it won't be my first choice.“

“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.“

“We so enjoyed our afternoon here! I love the many options for seating and that you can bring your dogs most places. I also absolutely loved that you could order glasses or flights from the bar and take them anywhere on property. Appreciated all the room to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Wines were good with a few uncommon but delicious options too. We will definitely be back here in the fall when we’re in the area. Pizza is honestly just ok, so I’d recommend bringing your own snacks.“

“Four of us did a wine tasting and had 2 pizzas and their tostadas. We loved their special to get 1 pizza and 2 glasses of wine. We each brought a bottle to take home and share; we really enjoyed both their food and wine. Next time we will try their beer side. They had plenty of space (we enjoyed the loft) and the views were good.“

“Children welcomed INSIDE and cherished here!! We loved this winery! There were 8 adults and our 3 month old grandson. We were welcomed and felt at home. The wine is delicious and the food was yummy! They made us feel like family. We even hung out with Beans the cat. Thanks for a fun relaxing afternoon.“

“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.“

“A nice laid back place to wind down after a great weekend …“

“I came to celebrate my birthday with a group of seven friends. We originally had a reservation for six people and I added an additional two, in a seprate online reservation. I called ahead to let them know we were running late. We were told it was okay and they would still be able to accommodate us. When we arrived my party was at two separate tables. One table was for two and the other was for six. I asked the waitress if it was possible to move the two guest to our table of six. She said "no" and I said "okay, I understand." Then the general manger Ken Gray came over yelling at my me and my table of guests. He aggressively told me that they can't do that, however, it was unnecessary because it was already understood and accepted. We enjoyed our $800 tasting until, Ken Gray came back again, aggressively telling us that we needed to get up because the next party was there. I proceeded to get up to go outside and he came back again after I left yelling at my guests. I felt discriminated against and definitely did not feel welcomed at Crimson Lane Vineyards as an African American woman. I was extremely disappointed in Ken Gray's aggressive behavior. It put a damper on my birthday celebration!“

“By far the best wine in Virginia. A serious vineyard for serious wine enthusiasts. Highly recommend!“

“We visited three wineries during our tour, and this one stood out by far for the exceptional quality of its wine. The experience was made even more special by the time we spent with the owner—warm, knowledgeable, and passionate. A truly memorable tasting, and we couldn’t leave without taking a few bottles home to enjoy!“
