My visit to Backporch Winery was primarily for a photo opportunity with their iconic LOVEworks sign, which is perfectly situated to welcome visitors. While my stop was brief, the overall impression was stunning.
The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Even just standing near the entrance, you can appreciate the well-maintained vineyards and relaxing atmosphere that makes the winery such a popular destination.
Adding to the pleasant ambiance, there was live music featuring Hokie Joe during my visit. It provided a lively soundtrack to the afternoon without being intrusive—a perfect pairing for enjoying the scenery.
While I didn't stay long enough to sample the wine or food, it was clear the winery is a hub for activity. According to their website, Backporch runs a whole range of events planned throughout the year, and they keep food truck vendors onsite to ensure guests have plenty to eat while enjoying the setting.
Backporch Winery is clearly a fantastic spot not just for wine enthusiasts, but for anyone looking for beautiful scenery and a lively, well-organized social outing. I definitely recommend stopping by, even if it's just for a quick photo and a moment to take in the view.

We visited yesterday (Saturday Oct 5th, 2025) for the first time and had a wonderful time. Staff were super friendly and inviting and made us truly feel welcomed. Wines were great and we will come back again soon.
Also ordered cheese ball with crackers and Pretzel both of which were amazing.

We LOVE this little spot. Good food and good wine nestled on a beautiful property. Always a good time.

Honestly, when you first pull down the country road that leads to Backporch, you look out at the fields and pray that where you're headed lives up to the picturesque setting. And friends, it absolutely does. The first glimpse of the barn feels like stepping back in time - rolling up to a barn-raising or the neighborhood harvest celebration. Inside, the people are charming and polite, the food is delicious, and damn do they make a nice glass of wine (and cider!). It's a humble setting, a presentation style that's comfy and casual, and sometimes (like today) there is the bonus porch vibe due to featured live music. We are in this region somewhat by chance, but by gosh if we didn't get lucky finding this gem. May just be my opinion on a lovely late summer afternoon, but give it a shot - it's well worth it and then some.

Backporch is a wonderful place. The owners are amazing and the staff wonderful. Great range of wines and the tastings are a great way to try them.

A 10/10! Hospitable, warm, fun welcoming and classy establishment! If you want to be treated like family GO visit them! Their selection of wines and ciders are ON POINT. The live music,amazing drinks and welcoming staff makes that BACKPORCH experience memorable. Go check them out!!!

The owners are very friendly, and the food is delicious as is the wine. Tastings are cheaper than any other local Winery.

Sorta don’t want to let the word get out how great this newer-ish place is, so shhhhh. Both the owners & space are adorable! Hummingbirds whizzed by as we sat on the porch sipping wine. Chardonel & traminette ? were a super-unique find. I don’t often buy bottles to take home, but the traminette was best I’ve ever had, so had to tote some back. Dog-friendly. Can’t wait to be back in the area & come again.

Love this place, the owners are awsome and so is the wine.

Super nice place. Good wine, good food. Owners are absolutely wonderful people. We were given tickets for our anniversary by our son and his girlfriend. We had never been or heard about this awesome place.We were out there for our 35th wedding anniversary and when they found out. They stood up and announced it to all the guests and then came up to us with a bottle of ? wine. We cannot say enough good. We will be back. Can't wait!!!
Delicious wine and great conversations! A quick drive from a local stay at Westmoreland State Park.

We very much enjoyed our time at Backporch! We did the 8 tasting sample with 4 whites and 4 reds. The reds were decent (nothing I didn't enjoy finishing) but it was the whites that shown. Every single one was spectacular and we had trouble narrowing down which one to take home. The staff were all also very kind and accommodating. The pizza wasn't anything to write home about, but we appreciate their offer to put toppings on one half to accommodate different diet restrictions. The liver magic was a nice touch. Definitely a venue we're excited to visit again.
