New Kent Winery & Talleysville Brewing Company

A great option for groups as there is a winery and brewery co-located here. I've enjoyed the White Merlot wine and Double Cut IPA here.

We visited this winery over the weekend and unfortunately had a very poor experience that I feel compelled to share.

The pricing here is excessive across the board - tastings, wine, and food are all overpriced for what you receive. What really shocked us was their policy on bringing any outside food or beverages. On a 102-degree day, they were turning people away at the door for carrying water bottles, yet they don't provide complimentary water inside. Instead, you're forced to pay $2.25 for bottled water or go thirsty. I've never encountered a business that serves alcohol without offering free water - it seems like a basic safety and hospitality standard.

Their tasting policy is unnecessarily restrictive. Despite my fiancé purchasing a full bottle of wine, they still refused to let me sample a third beer, strictly enforcing their 2-sample limit. This inflexibility was frustrating and ultimately cost them a sale, as I left without ordering anything.

The service felt cold and unwelcoming. Staff members were rigid about every policy with no consideration for customer satisfaction. They wouldn't even provide ice to keep our purchased wine bottle cool.

As for the food, I ordered sliders for $14 that were barely bite-sized and mediocre at best - definitely not worth the price.

The combination of high prices, inflexible policies, unfriendly service, and basic hospitality failures made for an unpleasant visit. There are many other excellent wineries in the area that actually care about their customers' experience. We'll definitely be taking our business elsewhere in the future.

Skip this one and head down the street to Jolene instead - much better experience all around.

You never know what to expect with East Coast wineries. These guys did not disappoint, standouts for us were the Merlot, Cab Franc, and Vidal Blanc. Beer was excellent as well with the Piwo being an exceptional standout. Kevin was super knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating. Definitely on my list to revisit when we come back down this way. 🤘🏻

One of my favorite VA wineries. They have wines for every palate. The owners and staff are so friendly, and the cat is a plus! The upstairs loft is spacious and the inside is cozy. The outside has abundant seating. The only thing I’d say I’d love to see added is charcuterie boards! But, they let you bring in whatever food you want, so that negates that!

Great selection of wines and beers. Gorgeous setting - good selection of appetizers. Definitely going back!

I enjoy going to this winery especially if I need a quick location near me to un-wine. lol The area is always clean and very welcoming. I love sitting outside with one of my favorite wines and soak it all in. The scenery is nice on a sunny day and very comfortable solo or with friends. The food is good and the people who also come visit is nice to talk too.

We visited while it was raining and discovered that the indoor seating is a windowless cinder block room in the basement. We didn't try the wine but the beer is mostly awful with some nearing drinkable. We got some (very mediocre) soft pretzels, and the cheese that came with them was pretty inedible. Hard to think someone could try much less than this.

Our less than pleasant previous experience kept us away from New Kent Winery for years. Yesterday we decided to try again. Fortunately it was not busy and the gentleman behind the bar was friendly and patient as we made our selections- nothing like what we experienced on our first visit so long ago. I enjoyed my flight, and even purchased a bottle to bring home.

Saw the sign on the side of the road, passed it and we turned around to experience the winery and tasting but when we asked for a little extra jam (even offered to pay) we were told that it was not possible. We purchased a flight of wine, we wanted to pay for a second while eating the brie and baguette and we were told "this is not possible". A glass of water, not available. We had to pay for a bottle, again, that is fine, but a glass of water?. Well, the baguette was cold and old, the brie was fine, but it cool off too quickly because of the weather.

Dianne was knowledgeable and friendly, enjoyed our experience

Very nice venue with friendly knowledgable service and great tasting options!

Love the wine and the staff. Might have to try the beer next time.

'Greeted' by owner Jo in parking lot. Felt unwelcomed.
Will never return. My money is green too, Jo!

Drove an hour to come here only to share this beautiful winery with a 5YR OLDS BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!! Kids everywhere jumping off benches and kicking over the chess board all while parents just allowed it to happen. Absolutely no regard for anyone else. We spent 85 dollars on a med board and 1 bottle of wine only to be handed a zip lock bag when we wanted to leave due to the chaos.
Since when did wineries turn into Chucky Cheese? Ive been here before and it was NOT like this. Wine wasnt great either. Couple mediocre meritage with chucky cheese for $100 bux with tip...NO THANKS
We will not be back.

My husband took me yesterday. I loved it! We did the wine tasting , great experience! Delicious board 🤤, crab cakes and spinach dip. Live music , great for a couple get away. The only thing was that the tasting area was very crowded, it was our first time and we felt lost. Didn’t know where to start or who to reach since everyone was busy with other customers.
