The winery is located away from Williamsburg itself but is very easy to find. Each wine tasting is for 7 wines, you can choose either the regular wines or all of the... More

“VERY ENLIGHTENING AND TASTY, TOO”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

We were taken on a tour of the winery, established in 1983. We learned of its history, got to taste some wines, and then had a wonderful dinner. Quite a treat. The guide was very knowledgeable not only of the history but of all the different wines produced, how many they produce, and why.

“Huge Winery”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

There is a wide variety of wines and you get to choose 7 tastings for the basic tasting. My suggestion is to go with someone, then you can split the tastings - the day we went there were 14 wines on the tasting list.

No complaints here. Very informative tour of the winery. Great tastings with providing lots of knowledge. Great rainy day venue. The wines are pretty good. Love that they go from sweet to dry to dessert wine. Very nice.
