Tasting Room & Taphouse at Mount Ida Reserve

One of the most beautiful wineries I’ve been to! The family who works here is so kind, and so friendly! My friend and I actually got stranded with no ride and Kole and Drew were so generous and thoughtful and took us to our hotel. I’m still amazed by the kindness and generosity. We will be back! Great place!

Elisha our server was the right amount of attentive and professional! The venue here is stunning, the pizza one my favorite in the area. Thanks Mount Ida for a lovely afternoon lunch time experience.

Seem to pick and choose who gets good service and who gets treated kind crap. My wife and friends were treated quite rudely and told their behavior was rowdy. It’s a group of teachers who had 2 glasses of wine. Horrible service and management

Staff was rude from the start and took the menu out of our hands when we walked up to order. Our entire group left after one beer and when one of us asked to speak with someone the manager said “it was in response to the behavior of our group”. This seemed a very weird critique when we just lining up to order a beer. This is a group of schoolteachers who were entirely sober. Management should be able to take feedback and improve without trying to put the blame on the customer. Go to Blenheim Winery instead. Very friendly service.

I like the atmosphere of the back patio area; there’s open air seating, a bar area with big screens streaming sports, and a large grassy area to spread out and enjoy the view.

My wife and I have nothing but compliments for the food and drink. I’m not usually into whites but the ‘22 Viognier had the perfect blend of flavor without being too sweet. The standout dish was definitely the jerk wings; the marinade’s flavor was magic

First and foremost, the service was impeccable. They were very busy (Sunday morning brunch) but the staff made you feel like you were the only people in the entire building (and it is huge!). The brunch menu is expansive, and frankly I could not think of another brunch my wife and I have experienced that was this good from start to finish. I had the jerk pig belly grits platter (amazing flavors and just the right amount of heat), we shared a cinnamon roll and the farm potatoes. My wife has the standard eggs Benedict. All was top of the line, hot, delicious and so memorable. We also have a glass of the sparking line and I have a beer sampler. Only slightly off beer in my book was the stout, just too “alcohol” based stout - tasted more like a porter. Otherwise, all thumbs up and cannot wait to go again next time we venture to Charlottesville.

This is one of the nicest wine tasting experiences we have had. The Halloween decorations were exceptional

Came her after visiting Monticello and glad we did. Beautiful location with great food. Had a flight of beer which was tasty. Sangria slushies were delish (and strong). We all got a bunch of apps and smash burgers which we all enjoyed. The only negative is that there was little shade on the patio and the sun was just beating down on us as it was going down. There are large shades they pulled down but didnt cover alot of the tables. Service was also very good. Definitely will return.

Loved the wine, food, service and atmosphere.Highly recommend!

The food was lovely, the view is amazing, the wine was enjoyable and you should definitely try the port

Absolutely breathtaking!
Wine was great, the Blue Ridge mountains view was phenomenal and the staff were fantastic!
Kole, he was fun and very attentive have excellent customer service. We had an awesome time!

Today I celebrated my birthday with Mt. Ida and it was fabulous the wine, the food all of the staff, just perfection. I have to give a special shout out to Kole who was the best, sweetest and most wonderful person, and to the tasting room manager, Lynn, brava for all that you do to keep everything running smoothly, keeping it fun and personable.
Love you! ♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful scenery and great drinks

Highlights: Fries, views, raspberry lemonade, and our babe of a server- Elisha. They were so personable from start to finish.. truly have made both of our visits top notch! Dare I say- the main reason we came back! 10/10 service. Thank you Elisha for being the best ever- they were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, hospitable, professional, and funny. Service like theirs will change your whole week around for the better. Hope to come back and have my day made and leave with a smile on my face many more times! (Their recommendation of the raspberry lemonade was the best) Elisha for the win!

Great service by Elisha! Good burger. Get the wine slushies. Sat outside under cover….nice view. Very comfortable temperature-wise.
