Been to a bunch of wineries in VA, you are missing out if you have never been! Great views from the deck and the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. Take a group, go with a date, you can't go wrong with Casanel. Their staff especially Anna and Katie are very knowledgeable on the wines and give amazing tastings.

We were out driving so the kids (age 1 and 5) would nap, and felt like stopping at a winery (when don't we?). It was a pretty quiet, chilly Sunday afternoon, and the very nice server told us we were welcome to go downstairs and hang out; there is a TV, a couple of cozy chairs, some tables, a microwave...

This small, relatively new vineyard is a great place! Aside from beautiful, the staff is friendly and inviting and the wine is very good! Five tastings for $5. Katie, a daughter of the owner, is the wine maker. Not only is she vastly knowledgeable of their wines, she knows many ways to cook with the wine! Our visit to this... More

To get to Casanel, one must drive through pisturesque Virginian suburbs and farms. Once there, you find a beautiful vineyard nestled in a peaceful and colorful valley. The family is hospitable and glad to welcome you. We were offered a taste of the wine we wanted to try to make sure that we liked it. The selection was perfect; the... More

First chance to attend a wine tasting at a winery. Certainly picked a wonderful place to start. Staff were fun, friendly and informed. Live music and food outside the day we attended. So relaxing to sip wine, eat, listen and soak up the scenery

If you like your wines on the sweeter side this is the place you must visit! The wine tasting was only $5 to try 6 different types of wines ranging from their whites to dessert wine. Everyone was so nice and informative..they truly know their wines. Great place to just hang out with the girls on a sunny afternoon. They... More
