We did the tour and tasting over Memorial Day weekend while visiting the area. I wish I'd read the other reviews first and found a coupon, but the tour is pretty reasonably priced.The winery is on a gorgeous historic site. My biggest complaint about the tour was that I didn't learn more. The tour starts with a very cheesy video... More

A small winery with a surprisingly large restaurant attached (with few meal options). Be warned you have to book your tasting in advance - they are all scheduled at certain times and you can't just show up and start the tasting ad hoc. The wine was OK but not great and they only allowed us 3-4 tastings. We didn't tour... More

Virginia not only grows grapes, but it now has over 200 wineries! As always, we appreciate the time that our visitors take to leave reviews. However, we wanted to clear up a few misconceptions in this guest's remarks. While our tours do leave at scheduled times there is no need to sign up in advance, other than for the reserve... More

I went online and booked the "Tour, Tasting, and Lunch" package. Word of advice - you don't save that much money by getting the lunch with the tour, and if you pick up one of those Williamsburg Guide and Coupon books found in almost every hotel and restaurant in Williamsburg, you can often find a 10% coupon for the Tour...

Did the general public tour, tasting and lunch on a Monday. Tour was informative. Though the video was older I found it historical as opposed to "cheesy", as described by others. My exceptions: they are on such a strict time schedule (or constraint) there is not time allotted for questions. When a question was asked it was responded to minimally... More

We took the Reserve Tour and Tasting on a Saturday afternoon. There were 2 other couples in the group, so the small size allowed us the opportunity to ask many questions. Learning about the vineyard and growing season was a plus! We really enjoyed the reserve wines and being able to taste some of the higher priced wines as part... More

We stopped at the winery after another day trip. Our tour guide was great! Even though we have taken the tour before, we learned some different things about wine. The tasting was with large group, but I felt like the hosts were attentive to everyone. The wine is good and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and really helpful. This... More

We love to try the local wines when we travel and got the reserve tour while we were in Williamburg. An excellent experience. We have toured Napa and learned more about the cultivation of the vines than at any other winery. This was the 6th winery we tasted in Virginia and by far the best. The reserve wines are great...

Have not been there in a number of years. While the restaurant for lunch is still ok, most of the people at the winery itself were not very friendly. Did not see any info on a tour and no one even asked us. The gift shop has about half what it used to have and many of the wines are... More

Who knew that Virginia wines were so good. We've visited this winery on each of our four vacations in Williamsburg and always come away with some excellent wines.

My husband and I went on the tour of the winery and enjoyed learning about its history. It started with a video about the vineyard and the winery. Afterward the guide gave us a tour of the building and wine cellar. Our tour guide was fun and personable which made the tour more enjoyable. After the tour we tasted 8... More
