I stopped in briefly as a halfway point between locations and ordered 2 bags of chips off their site before I got there. The kind worker welcomed me warmly and also gave me a complimentary cup of hot cider! It was delicious! The place looks so cool with a lot of outdoor seating. I’ll be returning with a few friends soon.

My daughter planned a trip to wineries for my 80th birthday. This was her first visit to any wineries but I have been to wineries in other countries and several in the US. I would tell her all about them. When we (7) walked in the door no one said a word! Just stood behind the counter and looked at us! I finally asked him to tell us about the place. His response was "We have been open for 8 years and have only dry wine" Then just stood there looking at us. She asked him something and he pointed at a list. I left!!!! I wonder how you got all the good reviews!!!!! Place looked a little dirty. I would never tell anyone to go there! RUN Plus whatever they got to taste was terrible. If you had a zero I would rate it that!!!!

Love love love this winery and cidery! Super friendly employees, great wine (Sauvignon blanc is my fave and I'm a red wine girly), relaxed atmosphere and plenty of outdoor seating. They also have snacks and charcuterie boards for purchase. They have events too; I went last weekend for their independent author book fair and had a blast. Please support this local business!

What a GREAT place!!! We were staying in the Cedar Grove area while going to Virginia International Raceway and each night stopped by the tasting room. Wesley was helpful with suggestions and the cider is AMAZING!!! The PawPaw and Summer Sunset were our favorites.

Visited briefly on my way to Virginia for a little break. I was the only person there on a Friday afternoon and the experience was incredible. The staff was very friendly and walked me through their offerings, helping me decide the best cider for me. They recommended The Bitter End ,which is hands down the best cider I've ever had. I even bought a bottle to take home. They only have outdoor seating that I saw, but lots of it is covered. It's a great way to have a relaxing time with a drink and enjoy the outdoors. They leave it feeling wild with lots of weeds and wildflowers, which fits their aesthetic very well. Definitely go out of your way to stop here!
