    Wine tasting, white cheddar & pita crackers (for purchase)

    It was an unexpected delight to stumble upon this little gem outside Waterford. Great atmosphere, with the acres of vines immediately outside. Wonderful customer service, with the staff being very friendly, and one of the owners taking time to say hello to the visiting guests at the tasting bar. Would recommend adding this to your next wine day, it's worth a stop! Excited to see how the wines continue to evolve & age overtime. Will be back!

    Went here on Mother's Day, our server Vonda was wonderful. The owners Mike and Gerry were socializing with all of their guests and we had a wonderful time. Mike is a scientist by trade, so his wines are technically very good. He is also something of an artist and it has made his wines really special. I have been to many of the larger and more established wineries, and I have yet to find a better tasting. They serve a Rosé, Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay, Chamboursin, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc (I have them down because Gerry convinced me to help her as a server once in awhile). All of them are excellent. A few other wines are available, a late harvest Vidal Blanc that is a very nice dessert wine. Finally their crown jewel is the Petit Verdot, this wine won a Gold Medal in the 2021 Virginia Governor's Cup and was included in the 2021 Governor's Case meaning it was one of the top 12 wines in Virginia. This wine is only available in the tasting room by the bottle. I highly recommend this place, they have an air conditioned tasting room, a 3 season porch, a pergola, and picnic tables and chairs on the grass. They welcome dogs and children accompanied by adults, and encourage people to bring a picnic and hang out for the day. COVID restrictions our over, as everywhere in VA you should wear a mask if not fully vaccinated everyone else may go mask-less.

    Celebrating our anniversary.

    Casanel Vineyards & Winery - Soaked Pinot Gris

    Super short version: Great winery with good service that is also not rowdy. Fantastic place to…read morego for a glass or three of quality wine in relative peace and quiet. Short version: Casanel, a small family owned winery, simply put our favorite winery bar none. Notable for their Cabernet Sauvereign (hard to grow in Virginia) and their Petit Verdots, all of their wines every year have been good to great. Service is good, pricing is fair and reasonable considering the market, and the atmosphere is welcoming and warm. They do allow dogs and food outside, but do enforce a no dog and no outside policy indoors, in part to ensure that there always is a place that is quieter for those who seek it. Long version: My wife and I judge wineries on three scales - quality of the wine, quality of the service, and other (which includes the views, value for price, food options, etc). Wine Quality - Casanel wine has been consistently good to great in spite of difficult years. Although they have had a change in wine makers, the samples we have tasted of the product that their new wine maker Adam has produced, I believe, will continue their reputation for quality. While many of these produced by Adam are not yet available for sale, they also have a strong library of wines that are well worth checking out and, we believe, value for money. That said, our pallet tends to lean toward the dry reds (PV, Cab Sauv, and others), but they also produce a Chardonnay that has gone through malolactic fermentation and lightly oaked, producing a flavorful wine that is not a butter bomb. They also produce a few other whites and reds that are also worth a visit, including Norton (both still and as a bubbly), a Carmenere (an all but lost burgundy grape), and Pinot Gris in several styles. In the warmer months, they also have several roses including last year an orange wine (based on a white wine made like a red). And that is about half of their offerings. If I had to say that they had a weakness in this category, it would be that they don't have that much to offer sweet wine drinkers, but they do have an option or two. Service - The Casanel winery team does all they can to create a warm, welcoming environment to their guests and, being that we are frequent visitors, they have become our winery home away from home. Notable is Theresa, the operations manager who with her team handles the front of the house. Victoria does a great job keeping interesting events going on. Nelson, the owner, is a character with great passion for the US - while you may not always agree with his views, you certainly will never question his love of what his hard work and the opportunities of this nation have granted him. Elliotte does a thousand jobs including helping with communications and the website. And one cannot go on without mentioning Anna - the general manager who quite literally is the glue that keeps everything going. Hers is a thankless job of putting out fires, dealing with difficult customers, and ensuring that her team (mentioned or not) have the resources to have all run smoothly. If Casanel had a weakness in this area, it would be that this is not a place for loud drunken parties nor a place for children and animals to run unrestrained or without supervision - but to us, that is a strength and not a weakness. Other - As noted above, this is a catchall category for us. Casanel's main tasting room was hand built by its owner, and the secondary tasting room is a historical structure. Both are lovely as are the grounds. While the wine is a bit pricey, the quality is there and therefore in our books represents a good value. Further, there are a number of efforts that occur behind the scenes that also contribute to the experience. Be it from the vineyard crew who manage to keep the vines healthy and attractive in spite of weather and pests thus allowing quality fruit to be had to the production staff ensuring that quality never fails, there is significant effort that goes into the bottle before it is labeled. In closing, when one considers the consistent quality and superior customer service this small winery provides, it certainly should be on your list of wineries to check out.

    Very nice tasting room with extremely friendly staff. Make sure you enter from the main entrance…read moreon Canby- some GPS will take you to a side entrance to the working part of the farm. We were promptly greeted and very politely told of how many were ahead of us which was not an issue at all. We went for a self guided flight of the reds- the Bordeaux blend, Carmenere, Cab Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Norton. The Bordeaux, Cab Sauv were very good, and the Norton was almost like a port, which I really enjoy. The Petit Verdot was the weakest of the batch by far and one I would never touch again. On the other end was the Carmenere which was an excellent wine I would absolutely come back for. Its quite a pleasant winery with some very good wines to try.

I love being able to experience Virginia wines while living in a different state and I love having my membership benefits when I do visit the area. The staff at Sunset Hills vineyard has always been welcoming, knowledgeable and hospitable. In addition, they are great with managing my shipments and account from afar and they make it easy to customize a shipment if you prefer different wines than they are offering. Their food service is great for pairing, I absolutely love their ciabatta bread and warm cheese spread with honey. My favorite thing to do is stop in, taste what is new and share a bottle and some snacks with friends while enjoying the views. Whether I am enjoying live music inside in the winter months or sitting on the deck or outdoor covered area in the summer months, Sunstet Hills Vinyard is my happy place to unwind.

    Such a beautiful vineyard in Loudoun County. Lots of seating available outside for our fall winery…read moreday over the weekend. It's also dog friendly which is a plus as I was able to bring my dog to join us outside. We ordered a bottle of their Riesling and some ciabatta bread with cheese that came in a tub. The ciabatta was nice and fresh and the spread wasn't too bad either. It was good to have that as a snack while sipping on our wine. We ended up getting a bottle to go as well since I enjoyed the wine. Lovely place for some good views and wine!
