Beautiful spot! I’ve been several times in all seasons. Has a plethora of different options for drinks (including cider). Something for everyone! And in the winter they have mulled wine! The staff is very accommodating and great to work with. Can’t wait to visit again this weekend! Can’t wait for the yummy cider flavors!

This place is epic. The food, drinks, ground and personnel. Massively great place for a sunset and camp ground fire.

Wine is awful and they over served a girl who was stumbling out of the venue and puked right by us.

I don’t understand why some people give zero stars just because a place isn’t kid-friendly. Kids aren’t supposed to drink wine anyway! My partner and I actually love this place precisely because it’s peaceful and adult-oriented — it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass of wine without noise or distractions.

I am so happy to have found the Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm! They offer many choices such as wine, beer, cider, light foods with food trucks on site on the weekends. I have enjoyed many Founding Members tastings, bands inside and on the lawn and sitting around a fire pit overlooking the lake with friends. I appreciate the 16 and older environment which creates fun, stress-free atmosphere. The staff is very accommodating and friendly and the environment is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful!

A very nice winery. As something for everyone, wine, beer, cider and food. They do have a rotating menu. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoors. They have a food truck on-site and also have their on food to order. Beautiful places to have a wedding or special event. We spent $100 on 2 pitches of beer, 1 pint of beer, 2 ciders and a charcuterie board.

This gorgeous venue has a terrific selection of wines, ciders, and beer. The staff is friendly, and the adults only vibe makes this our go-to place. I especially love sitting by the stone fireplace!

Sunshine Ridge Winery is a true gem! The serene atmosphere, enhanced by their 16-and-over age limit, makes for a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The beautiful lake setting adds to the charm, creating a perfect backdrop for a relaxing day out. I appreciate that this rule keeps the environment calm, allowing adults to unwind without the distraction of kids running around. While some may complain about the age restriction, it’s a huge plus for those of us seeking tranquility.

The staff is absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and professional. The live music is a fantastic touch, elevating the entire experience. Thank you, Sunshine Ridge, for providing such a beautiful place to gather and enjoy great wine in a serene setting. Highly recommend!

It’s is really special to have fantastic lake views and sip a glass if wine at this beautiful local
venue. They have EVERYTHING! Wine, beer, seltzer, food, slushies….and the list goes on. We LOVE trivia night and the music. Line dancing and theme nights. The staff is just the best. We see the same staff and they love their work and the people. Very pet friendly too! This is a very rare find! I love the adult only vibe. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable! We have loved bringing our older teens to play games and enjoy some family time as well. We love it so much we became members, and that is a really great bargain! It really is a spot of Sunshine in our lives! Shout out to Meredith and Hilary-they are absolutely gems!! 🍷🥰☀️ Just went to Jeep Jam-and they gave us all ducks 🦆!! So sweet!!

Everything about this winery is incredible. The staff is warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The venue itself is GORGEOUS and incredibly relaxing. Whether you’re spending an afternoon unwinding listening to live music and participating in the unique events, or planning a large party or wedding, this is the place to be! 😍

Came to try the beer. 12 taps, not all the beer is made here but the Oktoberfest is (the one I wanted). Really nice venue, lake front, no kids running around. Everyone was really friendly.

Gorgeous virginia winery with fabulous service, facilities, and events. The live music sounds great and there is lots of open space for you and your friends or family.

THANK YOU for being kid free!!! The age restriction is for a reason. None of the staff (nor other customers) should have to play lifeguard to someone’s kids playing near the water. I would hope that parents would understand and appreciate that level of safety rather than making a fuss over the policy.
I intentionally avoid several of the larger wineries in the area because they are constantly overrun with kids. That’s my choice. But I would never leave a bad review because of it. I really hope people stop leaving negative reviews simply because they don’t agree with the policy. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere. It is a beautiful place, please leave it for those of us who truly appreciate it!
