“Honey and Hops is my go to spot! I tried their mead for the first time with a friend in 2022 and it’s been our collective favorite ever since. The atmosphere is great and the drinks are even better. My personal favorite is the blue raspberry warhead flavor but I have NEVER been disappointed. I tell everyone who will listen to me that they need to try this place, so if you’re debating then you absolutely should give it a shot!“
“Our visit here was great, the outdoor space looking at the mountains is just beautiful. The staff went above and beyond for us after we had a flat tire, immediately coming to our rescue. Go for the wine and vibes and AMAZING staff :)“
“Tastings of their wonderful meads and their incredible mead slushy. I'm also going to join their Mead club!“
“Chester Gap Cellars is a small Winery with a Pub feel. The moment that a patron walks into the door they are treated with warm, welcoming smiles from both the staff and the local regulars. The views overlooking the Rappahannock River Valley are spectacular. The wines are very good too. What makes it great though is the Vinter, Jeff Seese. Jeff has a true joy for the industry and what he is doing. Most days, if he is not behind the bar, he mingles with the guests. One can feel, see and hear his passion as he talks about the winery, grapes, wine production and his small but incredible role in the industry. It is pure pleasure to listen to him. If you ever find yourself out in the Blue Ridge near Front Royal, make sure and stop by and check the place out. You won’t regret it.“
“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.“
“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.“
“On our way to Winchester to see Tracy Byrd concert, we made a fantastic discovery - this wonderful winery. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and we had a great time sampling five different wines. My personal favorite was Seven Oaks, and I was impressed by the fact that all the red wines were neither too sweet nor too dry. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery - the blue sky, the evergreen trees, and the peaceful atmosphere. If you're a fan of the outdoors, you'll love the nearby hiking trails. I would highly recommend this winery to anyone who enjoys wine.“
“A gorgeous Italian style winery with fabulous wines! 🍷“
“Amazing place with a wonderful wine selection.“
“Beautiful place, beautiful people, beautiful wine.“
“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!“
“Awesome wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting class! Donna was so knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating for my son and myself. Learned more than I thought I would and everything was delicious! Best wine in Virginia!!! Homemade truffles top-notch... we'll be back!!!“
“By far the best wine in Virginia. A serious vineyard for serious wine enthusiasts. Highly recommend!“
“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.“
