6 Best Wineries near Lovingston

“What an incredibly beautiful winery! The new building completed in August 2023 is quite the showplace. The fire was perfect for the cold day and the records playing in the background were delightful. The owner, Ed, and his father in law were so welcoming. We really liked the wine as well. We can't wait to bring friends to this hidden gem!“

“Beautiful property, wonderful views, relaxing atmosphere, and tasty wines. The owner is very personable and friendly. Pretty drive to get here too. Stopped here after hiking at the Nature Conservancy property a half mile away. If you are in the area and have some time, well worth your stop.“

“We visited Hill Top for one of the stops on my bachelorette weekend trip and this was definitely the best place we visited! They were SO friendly and treated us like family, let us meet the goats and dogs, and had the best wine and mead. We’re so glad we stopped here!“

“We visited this property on Friday 5 April 2024. It's really out of the way if approaching from Afton but not so much if approaching from Charlottesville. We arrived from Afton and the last five miles were a one lane gravel road. If you remember that '70s movie Delivernace you could hear the Banjo playing.The first impression was that this is a low budget operation compared to places in Afton such as Pollak or Veritas. Don't let first impressions fool you. The money and the passion are in the wines here. If you enjoy fine wine in a non-pretentious environment then you should make the effort to find this vineyard. The server seemed far more widely travelled and knowledgeable than anyone else at the other vineyards we visited on this trip. Highly recommended,“

“I like really sweet wine. They did not have a wine that I liked, but my husband liked a few. However, they did have a mead that I really liked. The lady who helped us was so nice. We enjoyed our time there and learning about what they offer.“

“Brent Manor is our absolute favorite! We visit any time we are relatively close to the area. Even though we don't make it to Brent Manor very often, the owners recognize us every time. They are extremely friendly and welcoming. The wines are excellent (we love the lemon crush winetail and the rose especially). This is a must-visit winery—don't pass it up.“
