    Bar in barn 5
    Bobbi H.

    We have been to Black Draft several times and I just noticed I had not reviewed them, so here are some notes..... Beautiful grounds!. It is a farm with stunning rolling hill views. Several different tasting rooms ( a couple are converted barns) so there is a lot of seating. Lots of outdoor seating as well. Live music and food trucks Big parking area Staff are friendly but nothing out of the ordinary Mixed drinks and PBR. Spirits are ok, good for mixing, I dont think they are for sipping. Gift shop on site with logo apparel, bottles and small gifts Note each bar area is a separate check system so you cant move around the grounds all on one tab. My rating rationale +.5 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    Fun distillery in a beautiful area just west of Downtown Martinsburg. I like to call this the graduation from wine tasting. Just remember, you're sampling liquor so get ready for a fantastically fun time! The lady doing the samples is a hoot and hauler! She's got lots of fun facts and jokes which instantly make her your new best friend. Don't get scared. Yes, it is liquor but they have deliciously tasty cocktails if you're feeling a tad timid. They can create a homemade seltzer with any of their spirits. My recommendation is the mint vodka with watermelon. Have that on a nice summer day with some food from their food trucks. Honestly, even if you're not a drinker, come here and order a beverage + food. The atmosphere and views alone are worth a visit.

    Wow! This place is amazing! Right outside downtown Martinsburg in a great location. The views are beautiful, the place is also beautiful. I can't say enough great things about this place. The service was so friendly. They make their own liquor and you can drink that or they have lots of fun cocktails using their liquor. They also have other drinking options. All for amazing prices. They always have a food truck and the one that was there when we went was BBQ and tasty! They have TVs where you can watch the game. They also have live music which we got to enjoy while there. If I lived here I would frequent this place!!

    Lovely rural location outside of Martinsburg. Well maintained, two spacious buildings plus plenty of outdoor seating. If you want to hear music, there's a space for that; if you want to talk, there's a space for that as well. Cozy fireplace and sofas and chairs as well as tables. Food truck the night we went was on point - I believe they alternate different food options. Fully stocked bar, and they even have one standard beer for those of us who don't want hard liquor. Place includes a small general store where you can purchase their products to take home. Service was friendly. Can't wait to visit in the summer.

    This place is the absolute best!!! Amazing owner! Amazing staff! Amazing drinks! Amazing place and views! And they bring in some amazing food vendors and live performers. I wish there was a better word than amazing because it really doesn't do the experience justice. Everyone was soo nice and friendly. You can tell they enjoy working their and after meeting with the owner and getting a personal tour for our HUGE group that was in town for training, I can see why and would definitely want to work there too. The owner, Glen, gave out group some samples directly from the barrels still in process and lesson on each sample. He's so personable and you can tell he loves and have fun doing what he does! A regular visit here entails a free tasting of all the liquor they make here and they have some tasty cocktails made from each for purchase (great prices!). My entire group worked our way down the cocktail list (some of us a few times haha). My favorite was easily the mango strawberry lemonade and peach rye sour, but they have something for everyone. They will also make you whatever mix you want if you don't want to choose from the cocktail menu, they have other fresh juices to choose from. They make, bottle, and label everything right there on site! It's impressive! They have a gift store that sells all their liquors, T shirts, hats, and few other things. If you are a first responder, they give a 15% discount on bottles (might be anything in the gift store, can't quite remember).

    Black Draft's Rise and Shine is so unique and delicious, and this is coming from a non-coffee drinker.

    Awesome environment and the tasting was informative and fun. I was there one day by myself and did the tasting. I can't remember her name (maybe Jill) but she was awesome. I liked everything we had in the tasting and purchased a few assorted bottles. The live music was great and the Food by Fire (I think) had DELICIOUS Brussels sprouts!

We were lucky to be her only guests this morning and we covered four establishments, 2 sweet and 2 savory. We started with a local ham sandwich plus bakery rolls both excellent with a butter/mustard sauce. Next stop was a bakery store where we had brownies and cookies and bought pecan rolls to take home followed by pizza, finishing with ice cream. All were small local businesses. We had a slice of the pizza at a rest stop on our trip home. We had lots of other leftovers and were not pressured into spending for extra food, but there was certainly lots of good stuff to share with family upon our return. Silver added lots of good information on what it was like to be a Gettysburg resident at the time and after the battle. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. Not too much walking.

All communication was prompt and easy to understand. The payment process was simple. Instructions for where to meet and questions about food allergies or other issues were appreciated. Even in the rain, this was just so much fun. We started at the Maryland Center for History and Culture. As a museum junkie, I loved that we started with a quick tour through Baltimore history! And we got to pop into the Jim Henson exhibit. They have the Labyrinth Dress!! After that we started walking. Did you know the Ouija board was created in Baltimore?? I did not. We walked into the Enoch Pratt Library and poked our head into the Peabody. And we did a quick tour of the Washington Monument. I did not know you could go inside it for free. The food part was even better! Started at Tio Pepe's which was delicious and such a cool building. After more walking we stopped that Helmund for more food. Our final stop was at Topside for a cocktail and dessert. Zero complaints. I've been telling folks about this experience because it was so much fun. I look forward to doing the other tours.

Each stop gives a full portion so come hungry and ready to learn. 2) Guide: We had Jim and he was the perfect balance of personable, interesting, knowledgeable, and passionate. He clearly knows the city well and is a foodie himself. He did an excellent job of teaching this local some new facts and giving tourists a more holistic view of Washington, D.C. 3) Mission: The company is local and gives back to a non-profit called Bread for the City with every tour ticket purchased.

I have heard from many people that their tours and tastings are unbelievable. I cheat a little because I already have a freezer full of their beef and plenty of wine at home, but I think my wife will finally book us for a tour and tasting in the spring. I have never seen a more idyllic setting for a farm, it looks nothing like any of the farms I grew up working on. And for me, I think that is the best part about Ovoka - it is a farm that is unique but no different than many others in that their farm never sleeps, their farmers never truly get a vacation, they earn every penny they get, and unfortunately do not get all the pennies they deserve for the value they provide. Not just value in the sense of the quality of their amazing beef products, but the value they provide for preserving a farming tradition that was once all we had and has unfortunately dwindled, but remains the backbone of our country. This is where your food comes from, not Wegmans or Whole Foods. Before you visit, call to make sure the food truck is open for lunch so that you can take it inside and buy a bottle of wine to wash it down with.

My girl friends and I signed up for this food tour to eat at food restaurants and have fun amongst each otherm the tour guide treated us like children, and acted like she was a historical teacher the whole time. We were not overly disruptive and just wanted to each other's company while having good food. We signed up for a "FOOD" tour but instead Jen instead that it was also a historical tour and made us very uncomfortable by over-lectueinf and quizzing us about historical facts about Leesburg, slavery and Civil War. At one point, between the third and fourth food tour stop, she made us take a huge detour around the town so she could over explain about histories behind slavery trading in Leesburg. At once point we got really bored and tired of being treated like children (we are all professional women over 30+ years old), and started laughing behind a bit in the street to chat. She had a full to turn to one of my friends and say 'plesee tell your friends to stop talking and pay attention to what I'm saying about these important events.' She over-shared that she leads school tours in DC during g other parts of the year and maybe she confused us with the school-aged children. But we did not enjoy our experience with her. I contemplated not sharing this awhile because I really think hard about leaving a negative review, but even two months later, her condescending attitude and the way we were treated as a group really stings us. I hope this type of tour guide can be curtailed and mapped for a "food" tour experience they advertised and we paid for instead of historical lectures. The tour guide needs to be re-educater.
