    Tuscan Parm Frites
    Scott B.

    Well let me say I've seen bunch of friends come here and love it. All these years passing this place we have never been. Well this weekend we had family in town and this is what we chose. First the place: Really nice and seems very well kept. I know the place is 8 years old or maybe a little more. Since it was terribly humid and with rain nearby we decided to stay inside. Staff: We were greeted by a nice lady who took her time explaining the wines and getting us ready for our visit. Again she was very friendly and helpful. Meals: It was all very tasty. There were four of us, so we shared samples with each other. The really good thing was the Buttermilk Chicken. Well done. Perfectly fried and had a really great taste. The order of fries (Tuscan Parm) had a nice flavor. We all like it. I do think for portion was slightly smaller vs the cost. Again only by a little bit. The Wines: I was driving so only tea for me. But my guests and my wife all found wines they really enjoyed. I will say this the Side Way's 2023 was liked by all of us. So I will say we all enjoyed this place and its offerings. I would suggest a visit. I am also confident we will be back. I actually give it a solid 4 1/2 stars but I rounded up since that wasn't an option and the place was too good to round down.

    Wine flight

    Cute gem in the most random location! It almost looks like you're in Charlottesville towards the vineyard/off the balcony. Came to trivia night (which was so fun)! I ended up doing a wine flight, which came with a mini glass so I was very happy. The wine menu is extensive and had great options. You can also opt for cocktails! Tried the parm frites--very crispy, lots of shredded parm and rosemary. Then we shared the bigger charcuterie board! Overall, really pleased and the staff was very friendly/knowledgeable. Will definitely come back with my mom!

    Seasonal Cocktail

    Always an amazing experience. We started with the seasonal menu, we sampled one of the wine flights, and got an amazing lamb burger, and then finish the evening with dessert.

    Wine flight - you can select which wines you're interested in trying.

    Absolute recommendation!! The wine flights where you can select which wines you're interested in trying. The bartender was SO helpful and was able to recommend some that she thought that I would like and I DID!! Every glass was perfect! The food menu items were top notch! The vineyard roll is like a charcuterie board in a roll. The flavors just dance in your mouth Thai chili brussel sprouts were an amazing surprise of perfection. The ambiance was chill, inviting and just perfect for the experience that we were looking forward to. All of this for a great price for an awesome experience! They have various options like brunch, jazz, open mic nights, etc. I plan to return as often as possible!

    Sweet Tasting Flight

    This was a nice little gem in an unsuspecting location. It's a small quaint little vineyard but the food and wine tells the bigger story. There was a decent selection of wine. I opted for the wine flight so I can try a little bit of all of their popular pours and I was not disappointed. Each one had its own unique flavor. I'm usually a red girl but the white was nice and refreshing. It paired well with the strong flavors and acidity from the charcuterie board. Also, don't miss out on the the crab dip! The old bay adds a nice finishing touch. I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area

    I have been there many times and is always a pleasure to taste the wines and enjoy the food. The service is great and the atmosphere is very cozy .

    A phenomenal wine slushee on a humid Sunday!!!!

    The Tuscan Parmesan Frites were crispy and absolutely delicious. Our server Melissa provided a detailed and thorough guidance of the wines we selected, all while we stared at the nestled tree branches float with the breeze of this humid Sunday.

    Truffle fries
    Rob M.

    Kind of a bar atmosphere when we went. Food was ok, the truffle fries weren't very crispy, nothing worse than a limp french fry. Dipping sauce was good. It is a nice venue, just tighten up the details a little. Wine was very good. Service was very good, barkeep was super friendly and helpful. Worth checking out. Cheers

    Always enjoy an afternoon at Ashton Creek. The wine, good eats, ambiance and service is a 10/10. Make sure to check out their calendar of events! So close to home yet I feel so far away. All year round goodness.

    Frankly, their crab dip and BLT flatbread makes everyone else's attempt fall flat.

I hate going to a winery and not enjoying half the wines because what they say they are, are nothing like how they taste. That is not the case here at all! Debbie also labeled our flight tray, so there was no confusion over which wine was which. As far as the atmosphere, it was early on a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other couple there when we arrived, but more folks came in while we were enjoying our wine. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day, but there is indoor seating and it is very nice and clean. Debbie (owner) was very friendly and informative about the wines. We did not try the snacks as we had had a large breakfast, so I can't comment on those. We bought 4 bottles of wine, which I felt were reasonably priced $15-$25 with a discount for amount spent, which was unexpected but nice. We will definitely return.

The grapes are a bit younger (oldest vines about five years) so the flavors are sharp and punchy. There drinkable now but also will age well. They have quite a variety on the tasting menu - from port style, whites and reds. We had a great tasting experience with one of the owners and felt comfortable sitting and drinking wine after our wine tasting. No snacks yet, but they are planning on getting.

We were hoping to find a vineyard and found Spring Run on one of our searches. We were unable to reach anyone by telephone at first but it was already kind of late in the day so we just drove over there and unfortunately for us, we happened to go when it was closed. We called while we were in the parking lot and the super friendly owner answered and apologized that she was closed that day but talked us into visiting them the next day. We almost didn't make it the next day but we managed it and I'm so happy that we did! The owners are super friendly and explained the history of the vineyard and it was so beautiful and peaceful to just sit there and enjoy some wine and cheese and talk to the owners. We did wine flights and my favorite was their blackberry wine which we both ended up taking bottles of home with us. I thought the blackberry wine would be too sweet as I'm not a fan of sweet wine but it was more fruity than sweet and had the perfect taste. We also tried the Goot Essa Cheese and Rip Rap crackers and I can honestly say that it was some of the best cheese I had ever tasted! It's a 3 year sharp cheddar and it went perfectly with our wine flights! We also ended up taking a couple souvenir shirts with us as a memory to our awesome experience. I have family in Virginia and will definitely be making time to visit this vineyard again when I make it back!

We wanted to sit outside, but if you want to do self-service, you have to sit beyond the patio. There wasn't a lot of shaded seating left so we decided to go by the river with some blankets for more shade (we were a group of eight). We ordered both of their roses. I really enjoyed their bubbly rose. We also go the truffle fries and charcuterie board to share. We enjoyed munching on those. They have women and mens restrooms indoors. There is a lot of free parking out front. There are indoor seats available, but I believe inside and the patio are only for full service. If you want something a bit closer to the city, this is a pretty spot.

    Well this was a second visit here with the first time last fall (September 2024). Today (July…read more2025) we found out that in our opinion this place is consistent. Each visit we brought out of town visiting guess for lunch and flight tasting. Let first talk about the meals. This time I decided on a burger and chips. It was a nice size meal and perfectly cooked. The wifey had the Turkey Bacon Ranch Panini with chips. She liked it and it also was a very filling meal. My guest has the Southwest Cobb Salad and she really liked it and the portion was huge. She ended up taking about 1/2 home for a late dinner. The Truffle Fries appetizer was outstanding and also a very large portion. The both ladies did have wine flights and both found a wine that they really enjoyed. As for service: our young lady was very nice and took decent care of us. She checked on us a couple times during our nearly 2 hour stay. As for the location: We love it. The view on a sunny day of the water/grounds from the patio deck is wonderful. Although on both times of my visits we have eaten outside but the inside is really nice and cool inside on hot day like today was. One last thing - reservations. We made a request for the outside patio and we got exactly what we wanted. We are also glad we made reservations because we would not have been outside without them today. The inside although a nice crowd - wasn't full. There were tables. But with all this said I highly suggest reservations. So go and enjoy your visit at USV.
