This place is really nice with very kind staff, great wine, and a relaxing environment, it is just a disappointment that the manager has a severe dislike of even well behaved dogs. It’s a bit surprising to me in a town right next to the High Bridge Trail and other hiking trails as well as having an outdoor space AND a separate outside only entrance. When I inquired about bringing a pet I was met with clear fear of their manager being upset about “a dog around” which made me sad for the staff. I would come here way more after a bike or hike if I could, try this place for sure but we aware dogs are aggressively not wanted.

What’s a perfect spot to spend the afternoon, even in winter. The heaters made it feel like a warm spring day! Sunlit cozy on the river, laying in a pillow stuffed swing the size of a bed. Enjoyed the bubbly Rosé, a bit dry which I loved, and a mulled red wine, cozy and a little sweet/tart. Fireplaces, Edison lights and cozy wood/stone decor gave the perfect finishing touches to this lovely spot. Definitely a must-see for casual ambiance and a great spot to connect with friends/loved ones.Celebrating finding your dream gown at Caryn’s dress shop on Main, come here for a wine to toast. Enjoying your anniversary, like me, sip and enjoy the cozy swing with your bae. Girls weekend, perfect spot to relax and catch up!

Finally got a chance to partake at VTC, every time we tried in the past there was always a function going on. First off, kudos to Susan, she was a great host and server and attended to our party's needs without hesitation, she was also very knowledgeable about the beer on tap and all the wines. Thanks Susan for being so personable and enjoying your job. Kelly another staff member was also so cheerful and a great sport. Crab dip and French bread were great, the beer on tap was great and as was most of the wines we tried. Great place with fantastic decor right on the river. We will definitely be repeat customers.

We stumbled across the tasting room on a Sunday afternoon after finishing our bike ride on the High Bridge Trail. It seems that most of Farmville is closed on Sundays so we were delighted to find them open! My husband and I both ordered a tasting flight. You could choose from "sweet" or "dry" so we got one of each with the addition of a charcuterie board. We headed to sit outside on the covered porch and our flights were brought out about 15 minutes later. We began enjoying our wine tasting and taking in the view of the woods and creek. It is a lovely setting and very peaceful. After about 30 minutes we moved inside to cool down a bit as we were still waiting on our charcuterie board. After close to 45 minutes we inquired and the new staff member said it was still coming. It finally arrived a few minutes later and was delicious; we just wish that it hadn't take so long. Fortunately we had time on our hands and we were relaxed enough to just enjoy our afternoon. The wine was great and it was nice to taste wines from several Virginia Vineyards. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and glad that we stopped in. There were only 2 women working so I think they were just a bit understaffed for the afternoon. I wouldn't let that keep us from returning and it shouldn't keep you from stopping in. Pros: The employees were friendly and hard working plus the environment was relaxing and clean. The wine was tasty! Charcuterie board was plentiful! My only con: The long wait for the charcuterie board.
