15 Best Wineries near Waterford

“Went in during the week and had a wonderful experience. We did a tasting and enjoyed all 4 wines very much. Each was unique and described perfectly. Since it was a week day we were allowed to bring in food, although the food they have to offer on the weekends looks great! They have a nice display of chocolates from Conche in Leesburg. There is plenty of space inside and out but we chose the seats by the indoor fireplace and it was perfect!“

“My partner and I visited this cidery during our stay at a bed and breakfast nearby. We really enjoyed the cider flight and wine flight! The mulled cider wine was a nice touch! This place can be tricky to get to if you plan on using an Uber or Lyft. The workers were so kind. One of the workers helped us get to the brewery nearby and back to our bed and breakfast because Lyft rides were so hard to get to. This is definitely worth a visit!“

“My family recently had a wonderful visit to Terra Nebulo. The tasting room is beautiful and very cozy. We were lucky enough to arrive just before sunset and the sun setting over the adjacent hills was beautiful. The wine was very good and fairly priced. I highly recommend visiting. Keep in mind that dogs and children are not allowed, so plan accordingly.“

“We hosted a small “wedding debrief” with close family and friends at Three Creeks the Sunday of our wedding weekend. They have a gathering room below the tasting room that was perfect for our group of 30. P-J is incredibly accommodating and their wine, of course, is delicious! We loved getting to incorporate one of our favorite wineries near Leesburg into the weekend.“

“I adore Zephaniah. There outdoor space is quite welcoming and makes it hard to leave once you have your favorite wine and cheese pairing. Though this winery seems to be lowkey and overly humble, they have exceptional wines. It is a family operated winery which the family members here treat you as if you were royalty--from the moment you enter their establishment they are gems.“

“Great place to meet up with friends! It's great that you can bring your own food.I had a flight of their white wines; all were good - the Chardonnay was the standout.Our group of 4 loved the petite verdot and we happily had 3 bottles while listening to the live music ?“

“Willowcroft is the most quaint, unassuming wineries in the area. They have a great variety of wine which are very unique in my opinion. For example, I don't normally like a steeled Chardonnay, but I love theirs and how refreshing it is. Same goes with their Riesling.One of the most surprising aspects of this winery, though, is the gorgeous view!“

“We had burger for lunch special instead of calzone/pizza as advertised on their website. Their wood burning oven is available starting in May (no dates on their website)Lori was very sweet and friendly.Glasses could have been cleaned better as they were smelly and very spotty.“

“My husband I visited Casanel as part of our Anniversary weekend in December. It was our first visit to Casanel Winery and we really enjoyed the experience. Theresa and her team were fantastic! We had a lovely tasting of good wines, enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire and toured the facility. There are patios to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the tasting room is spacious and a great event space. We can't wait to return!“

“I loved this vineyard. The service was amazing. The manager was so sweet. The ambiance is cute. I also actually really enjoyed the wine flights. At first glance I thought the truffle flight was expensive for a small box of chocolate BUT I really enjoyed the chocolate and the wine so I would recommend. I also tried the sweet flight which was equally as good for a great price.“

“We visited Sunset Hills somewhat by accident on Thursday 4 April. We were finishng up at a nearby vineyard and checked the Plugshare app to see if any nearby vieyards had EV charging stations. Up pops Sunset Hills eight miles away. We didn't realize until arriving that this vineyard had won a number of gold medals in the 2024 VA Governor's cup.We started off with a taste of the award winning 2020 Reserve Cabernet Franc which could only be described as hard nosed like a young Saint-Estèphe Bordeaux. Our server looked a little panicked and said "you obviously know more about this that I do, let me get my colleague." For the initial round I opted for the Meritage which was considerable softer than the Aabernet Franc. It too was a little young, but opened up nicely after a few minutes.By the time the first round was finished the weather had turned particularly bad. The car was charging and we had nowhere to be for several hours, so why not revist that gold cup winning Cabernet Franc? It turns out that the wine was highly approachable after breathing for a few minutes. In retrospect I wish I had purchased some to take home.“

“Great little winery,Great wine selection, especially loved the cab sav and the unusual chardonnay.Very good food selection as well, and a huge shout out to Angle, our hostess and sumalie (I'm probably misspelling it) for such a great service and making our visit so fun“

“I reached out to Bleu Frog in search of a venue to host my wife's surprise 30th birthday. Every person at this establishment was a true professional. They were patient, answered all my questions, and made everything very easy. My wife, her friends, and family had a great time at Bleu Frog. The day of, the staff were very personable and such great people. My wife and friends enjoyed the wine selection and the ambiance. Thank you to the staff at Bleu Frog for making my wife's 30th a memorable experience.“

“The family had a wonderful time at Otium Cellars today. The grounds are beautiful and the facilities very nice with all the wood and stone structures. Not a bad wine in the tastings we had. Really enjoyed their German inspired options and loved the Blaufränkisch!Special thanks to Megan, Liz, and Viraat! They were all very accommodating, super friendly, and attentive.With all the wineries we've been to in the area, I'm, surprised I haven't been to this one before. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Had an amazing time here with a few friends! The tasting room has an intimate, unique atmosphere, and everything feels and tastes genuine, and down-to-earth. No obtrusive marketing scheme, no unnecessary additives, just a master of his craft with the fruits of his labor. Will certainly be back again!“
