Wineries near Kilmarnock

“What a gorgeous property and setting as you enjoy a glass of wine and some music on a hot late afternoon. I was given a taste of five wines before choosing the unique chardonel which was aptly described as a perfect porch sitter. Speaking of the porch, it's a comfy and spacious wraparound with a nice view of the vineyard and surrounding property. Indoors is a nicely air conditioned bar with a party space and we heard a live DJ. Salty Bob's food truck has tasty bites. We chose the crabby fries and crab bites, because, well...crab! They were both delicious comfort foods.“

“Go straight for the G-8, there is a reason this cider is the pick! The food was a nice addition to our experience while sipping our flights. Beautiful property to visit for a slow Sunday afternoon. Don’t miss Ditchley Cider works on your next adventure to the Rivah!“

“Hope and Glory is a great spot on the Northern Neck. The owners and staff are fully engaged, attentive and delightfully hospitable. The place is as quaint as it gets.Special thanks to Messeret, who stayed up late keeping us company for nightcap in Detention (cute on premise bar). Thank you!“

“A nice fun local find! The wine was very good! Great atmosphere. We ordered the pizza and a dozen raw oysters. All was quite tasty, but the oysters could have been a bit colder. I usually get them in the shells on ice at other places. These were already shucked and lined up on a long plate over lettuce. It was a nice presentation, but by the time half were eaten the others were almost room temp. Just a small suggestion that maybe some ice on plate (under the lettuce?) would have been a bit better. However not a huge deal. We will be back either way! Looking forward to trying the grilled oysters next month! Everyone working there was extremely friendly and this will no doubt be one of our local hangouts! I also love that they offer bottled beer and hard cider! They have outdoor seating so we look forward to taking our small dog on nice days! Highly recommend!“

“Visited this weekend and enjoyed the wines very much. The owners certainly make you feel welcome and the grounds are lovely. So nice to have another vineyard in the area. My only suggestion would be to provide real wine glasses, if not for tasting, then surely when purchasing a glass or bottle. Both the wine and the venue are too nice for plastic cups.“
