“Plenty of space to spread out with your group with inside and outside choices. Food is always spot on delicious! But why wouldn't Cider-Mosas be offered in the Cider Barn for Sunday Brunch where you pick up food, instead of in the Distillery Barn?!“
“Awesome...barbecue / chicken, great Mac n cheese ? They are in the valley but definitely worth the drive down the mountain if staying at Wintergreen Resort. Maybe 10-15 minute drive. I'm from NC and we have the BEST barbecue. But this was definitely a close runner up.“

“Looking for a good brewery, and a place to eat look no further. We did have to wait for a table, but we were seated far quicker than the expectation. This is by far the best brewery and Restaurant close to the Wintergreen resort area. The beer was absolutely fantastic and the food was incredible. I had the Philly cheesesteak, and it was by far the best one I have ever had. Also, had the Parmesan fries so delicious. The service was great and very attentive. We had Martha as our server she was fantastic!“
“Cider’s been a new thing for my better half and me since moving to Central VA. We’ve driven by Bryant’s a host of times. On Saturday, I made a solo journey out because my honey had a book club gathering. Glad I did.There was music, but best of all, I got to try my first dry Virginia cider. It’s way less sweet than some of the “bigger” cideries in the area. But dry doesn’t mean, less viable. In fact, I really dug the dryness, plus there were a couple of sweeter varieties. The Apple Pie was enjoyable with about half the sugar of the sweet ciders that many seem to like. I do not.I enjoyed their Dark Unicorn, which is bourbon barrel-aged and really enjoyable. Oh, the Punkin Spice was a nice fall variety.The rustic barn setting of the tasting room makes for a more comfortable setting when the weather’s cold and outside just won’t work.Great staff that makes you feel welcome on your first visit.Will definitely be back.“
“This is a great brewery! The beer is awesome, the food is wonderful, the property is great, and the service is top notch! I love hanging out by the river. There is always live music, fire pits for cold days, and plenty of activities for kids!“
“Totally didn't realize that this was here. Very chill. We watched the 2024 eclipse while sipping an IPA and chowing down on wings from the food truck. We will return. Has a small playground for kids and I hear there is even a driving range.“
“We have been here many times before, but today was just amazing! We have a special needs child and our server Carrie was so kind to him. She included him in her interactions with us which meant the world to him! We had great service and wonderful food too! We look forward to going back soon and having Carrie take care of us again!“

“AMAZING! The vineyard hosted an artisan show and the turn out was really great. The owners Stephen and Adrienne were there and very involved. Their manager Liz did a great job organizing the event and everyone in attendance had a great time. If you have not visited the Vineyard please put it on your calendar to go soon!“
“We stopped in after seeing the advertisement for the Christmas Vacation evening event. What a fun time with delicious drinks! The decorations are so festive and the staff were great. I had the eggnog cocktail and the Santa one. Both were delicious and I loved to optionally to buy the glasses!!!“
“What a terrific experience with Ann and the team at Valley Road. Engaging and personal - we also shared time with the exec team who happened to be onsite sharing the story of the vineyard team and their recent successes with their award winning wines… Big fan of the Torn Curtain.!.!.!Thanks for a wonderful experience - from your Indiana friends.!“
“Cute place with fantastic views. Service was great ladies were very helpful and welcoming. We did not eat but loved that they had a soup flight! Had a Hot Toadie - warm cider with cinnamon sugar rum. Perfect for a cold mountain day and got a mug to take home. Cool spot check them out!“
“Love that they cater towards smaller parties. With so many options in the area, not sure why large parties come expecting to be accommodated without reservations. A large party showed up just before I left and had a bad attitude about their policy. There were multiple signs while driving in stating the policy as well as on their website.Keep the small group vibe! Loved it!“
“Veritas Vineyards and Winery is an annual visit for my family as the wine selection is our favorite overall in the area. Additionally, the atmosphere is gorgeous, there is indoor and outdoor seating options available, they have excellent food to grab for your visit, and their staff are always helpful and friendly.“
“Came in on a rainy Saturday to test it out since we always loved Devils Backbone canned cocktails and IPAs. It's definitely a large spot when the weather is nice but in terms of indoor seating there's not a ton of seating. Lots of fire pits and covered areas outdoors though so even on a rainy day the place was busy. The outdoor bar was open and we waited in the cool cigar lounge for our table. There was a 45 minute wait even though tables were open (you order by QR code). Our waiter was quite nice though so we never waited long for drinks or food. I highly recommend the nachos and we asked them for more chips because the chip to toppings ratio was large (which is rare). We got the wings too which were perfectly smoky but would have liked a bit more sauce. The food menu was great if you were a bbq fan but would have loved to see a few more simple options like a grilled chicken sandwich, etc. We stopped into the liquor store and the merch area and prices were fair in both, with some nice shirts and the canned drinks to go.“
“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!“
