Everything a winery should be! Their tastings are what tastings used to be where they explain each wine and give you crackers and the glass to keep for only $12. The owner was so kind and sweet and we had such a great and relaxing time. Their wines are very good and affordable. Definitely worth going to if you are in the area.

WHAT A PERFECT HIDDEN GEM. ✨
Fantastic wine & friendly staff. Flights, tastings, slushies, cheeses, visitor food trucks, and occasionally have the Tiki Bar open. The Red wines - 1734 and Green & Royal are my favorite. Located in Orange County, in the country, but truly worth the drive! Relaxing setting, indoor & outdoor seating available, and they have a puzzle table which is a great way to build & meet others. ?⬛

This was such a wonderful experience…my husband and I are touring (we live in Western NC) throughout Virginia…. And visiting some of the local wineries… this was our 2nd one today and we have had such an enjoyable time here as well! Incredible wine, such a hostile host and hostess… very accommodations and patient husband host here! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience..

Excellent wines and cheeses. We bought 7 bottles. My favorite was the Green and Royal. I have never had a red like this before at any other winery. It is smooth to start but with a bold and dry finish.
The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. The signs on the way in are humorous. This place is definitely worth the trip.

If you are adventurous enough to make it down the long gravel driveway through beautiful central Virginia farmland, you will not be disappointed! We were the only guests there and Kenny treated us with such warm hospitality. We did a full wine tasting and chocolate pairing. Each wine was excellent and I learned so much about wine that day. We bought several bottles to take home, as well as a block of perhaps the best cheddar cheese I have ever tasted, shipped in from an Amish farm in PA. Our only disappointment was that the resident cat was off duty that afternoon, but he was fully commemorated through bottle labels and portraits! Highly recommend visiting Chateau MerrillAnne - a perfect afternoon detour from Lake Anna.

Enjoyed a nice afternoon here. From our tasting to a glass of wine each, great ambiance, folks are friendly and inviting, worth stopping in!

Boyfriend and I popped in on a whim and did a wine tasting. Emily did a wonderful job presenting the variety of wines and how each is made. After the tasting, we sat out on the back deck, sipping on red wine slushies!

Quirky fun place with good wine. If you like cats, you're in luck. If you like wine, you're also in luck. Very easy going place, not like other snooty wineries.

We visited them for the first time today.Kenny and Emily are AWESOME!! We had the BEST tasting!!!!!! I'm not a red wine drinker, but after today and Kenny's gentle guidance, I've been converted. We WILL be back!!!!!! An AMAZING hidden GEM of a place for sure!!!!!!
Enjoyable experience! Our family wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a great time. The owner/host was engaging, and it was fun to hear the stories behind each bottle. We also learned some history, and had the chocolate pairing with the wine as well. I highly recommend!

Definitely the best tasting I have ever had in terms of quality of the wine, price, and the knowledge/experience provided by the staff. They had plenty of seating for our large group inside or outside (with or without shade). Can not recommend this place enough! I ended up taking 4 bottles of wine home ? We will definitely be back.
