Live music, wine and food! You can't go wrong here! We came in the winter so we weren't able to use any of the beautiful patio areas however there was ample room upstairs and the music was great.
Beautiful view! The staff were great, helpful, and informative. They have outside patio seating, covered seating upstairs inside seating, and a few chairs in the grassy area to enjoy the view. Loved the format of a flight for the tasting. We also needed a snack, so we got the olives and cheese. The green olives were the best I've had in forever. The double-decker bus is ao cool. The plan is to potentially have tastings inside. I think it would be a very cool AirBnB stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and recommend.
Nice drive and super friendly staff. We had two different flights and the charcuterie board with the goat cheese fig tartine! Oh it was delicious
When we visited Luray Cavern and wanted to check vineyards around the area, this vineyard showed up on Yelp. We were glad that we found this place. The place is very charming. The service is very friendly and dog friendly. There are many tables upstairs. My husband and I ordered Reserve Flight and Red Wine Flight. I really enjoyed Sparking Rose. It was very refreshing. My husband loves port wine. He enjoyed Fandango. The red wines are pretty good. We bought a bottle of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. They are medium bold, not too dry, and tannin. It was very smooth to drink. We really enjoyed the visit to this place.
We searched Vineyards in the area and this one came up. My husband likes port wine so we decided on this one. Port wine came be hard to find at wineries. This Vineyard was definitely down a beaten path in the middle no where. I mean no where. The property itself was beautiful. The view of the mountains was beautiful. Once entering were greeted promptly. We decided to do a flight each. I decided on the spring flight and hubs did the sweet flight. Both were pretty tasty and hubs said the port wine was pretty good. We decided to order 2 red slushees which were super yummy! We also got a Charcuterie board too. That's was super dooper yummy! We didn't take any wine home. Just had a good time relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. Would definitely stop here, it's worth the drive off the beaten path.
We decided to reserve one of the igloos. The igloo was beautifully decorated and well heated, The charcuterie boards were well made. We ordered two for 6 women and there was a little left over. The service was top notch - they were there as needed without hovering. Of the wines, the mulled wine was my favorite.
Tucked away winery along a picturesque drive on a 2-way road in Mt Jackson, VA. Had 2 flights of a variety of red and white wines along with a most wonderful charcuterie board. Taylor was our host who went out of his way to accommodate us. The place was nicely appointed inside and outside. Well worth the drive!
This vineyard is definitely worth the visit if you're staying in the Basye area! My husband and I went for our first anniversary and we had a wonderful time. The grounds are beautiful, as is the interior. The service was great and the wine and charcuterie were delicious. We loved the warm mulled wine! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in town. We made a reservation but it wasn't very busy so we didn't need it.
To get to this winery, we made a turn off the interstate and followed the GPS directions through the beautiful Virginia countryside. This winery is in a beautiful location with the driveway running along side the vineyard. There a lovely building with a large patio and a pavilion, also. We were traveling with our dog and I went into the winery to see if she would be allowed to accompany us. The owner was very enthusiastic and said she couldn't wait to meet our dog! Well, that made us happy and we knew we picked a fabulous place. The day we were there, they weren't doing tastings, but flights were available for purchase. It was a very hot, humid day; so we got a decided to go with a sweet flight. It included 2 wine slushies (red & white) and 2 other additional wines. Both of the slushies were delicious. As for the other 2 choices, they were fine, but not what we wanted. The owner was very friendly and made sure all the visitors were being attended to. She even had a treat for our dog. We needed to get back on the road for our trip home, but this was a much needed break from the interstate and the 4 hours drive. Husband and I chose the white wine slushie and a bottled white wine called "Summer Splash" to take home. Also, I purchased two souvenir wine glasses. I hope to find myself on the road again in this area and will definitely stop in here again.
We stop by this winery during a rainy Sunday, we were doing a bike tour and that was our last stop. The wine and chocolates were delicious. he winery is nice and has beautiful views, the person at the bar was extremely nice, we didn't had anything to cover from the rain, he made panchos for the group. The service was excellent, we will be back for sure!
Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Beautiful day. The ambiance was classy and sweet. The service was polite. The food was decent. If you are coming here to learn about the wine you are tasting, you may not get that unless there are no other customers. But if you are coming here to drink and enjoy the view while alone or to be social, you will love it here!
4 stars for sure. One of the better wineries in the Shenandoah - and that says a lot since this area is an up & coming place for wine. 13 acres of vines, somewhere over 5,000 cases/year, and just about 100% estate. The owner is something of a superman. Not only is he the winemaker and vineyard manager, he also manages another vineyard. If I was in his shoes, I'd be kicking back with a bottle every night...which is probably why I'd make a bad winery owner. Cave Ridge is bigger than some neighbors; while many are mom & pop operations, Cave Ridge's tasting room is more polished and can accommodate bigger groups. My server seemed knowledgeable about their operation; I tried stumping him with questions about their wine making style & production, but he knew his stuff. The whites generally didn't impress me (with one exception), although every one had a nice nose. But I really liked the reds, and was surprised by the number of desert wines that stayed around 12% alcohol. They seemed especially proud of their Chambourcin, which they used in many of their creations. $6 for the standard 6 wines, or $10 for 10 which includes several desert style wines (plus I got a 'bonus' tasting). What I tried: 2014 Char'Ve: 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Viognier. Very clean finish; liked it a lot. Viognier: Floral nose, not too sweet, but this is rarely a grape that I enjoy Traminette: Super floral nose and lychee palate 2013 Riesling: Pretty good 2013 Chambourcin: Nice smoky palate; not fruity like I'm accustomed to for this grape 2012 Syrah: Plumb palate; Syrah actually grows relatively well in their area, which is pretty rare 2012 Fossil: Red blend; wasn't a huge fan 2012 Petit Verdot: really nice; maybe my favorite of the lineup. Not as full bodied as some other PVs. Mount Jackson Rouge: Desert red wine but not very strong; the Chambourcin really shines thru La Petit Traminette: Desert white wine with a nice lemon notes Fandango port-style: Huge nose & wonderful almost peppermint flavor. One of the best ports I've tried lately
Cave Ridge is a local winery to try! All the staff (Randy (owner), Becky, Dan, Taylor, Dakota, etc etc) are all wonderful. The venue is lovely year-round, especially spring and fall! On weekends, they have live music at the covered pavilion. Their lushies on a hot summer day, makes the visit worth it alone! read more

During my recent stay at Bryce, I spent Saturday afternoon visiting a couple of wineries. Cave Ridge was first on my list. I opted for the full wine tasting. We started with the whites - and then moved on to the reds. The only wine that resonated with me was the 2011 Riesling. I am more of a red wine drinker - but I did not find any of their reds really making me say "Wow! - I need to drink this again!" The tasting room is nicely appointed, and the small courtyard outside features a fountain and some tables and chairs. A nice view overlooking east towards the Massanutten Mountains can he had here. Staff were very friendly and nice. read more
I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Cheap tastings and comfy outdoor seating with gas fire pits. Because we motioned to buy a bottle, they let us try a few of their wines which was very nice. Loved their Chardonnay and Viognier. Also, they had some great pours when ordering full glasses. Very respectful and informative employee UPDATE: WENT BACK AGAIN with my girlfriends family and wow was it even more pleasant! This time it was more crowded but they had gluwein for the holidays and local vendors, cooks and restaurants. I had the meat jambalaya and it was amazing!!!! $5 for a big cup. Saved the day. This time we sat upstairs and the overall ambiance is very lodge-like and inviting. Will definitely go back. read more

Beautiful, well maintained grounds. We came here after a rafting trip in WV while heading back to DC. It was the perfect pit stop. We got hit with a summer rain but the sky cleared up and we sat outside on the upper deck and listened to the fantastic live music upstairs. Everyone was really sweet. The wine was pretty good as far as Virginia wines go. I am generally a red wine enthusiast but the Chardonnay won the taste test during the reserve wine tasting. I am shocked! There are some lawn games on the property. It is a fun place to spend an afternoon. I will definitely add this to my VA winery must stop list. I forgot to mention, the pours are really small compared to a few other tasting rooms nearby. But the scenery is beautiful! read more

We had such a fantastic time at Cave Ridge Vineyard. It was my and my mom's birthday, so we came here to check out some tastings and the scenery. They didn't have tastings, but were offering wine flights, which included a fall-themed flight that I enjoyed. The staff were super kind and accommodating. We sat outside by the cozy and warm fire pit to taste our wines, and brought our own cheeseboard, which the staff gave us plates and napkins for. What a lovely experience, would definitely come again the next time I'm in town! read more
Of the three wineries we visited, this was sort of the best of both worlds. It was a pretty setting; nice inside tasting area and beautiful patio and vistas. The wine was relatively affordable (by Virginia standards) and was actually pretty good. read more

We stopped in after visiting nearly all the other wineries in the Shenandoah Wine Trail and we were very happy to have come here! The staff was VERY knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating! As we were doing our tasting, they made great suggestions and gave good examples. They grow many of their own grapes to make most all their wines. They also have a nice selection of reds and red blends and their ChardiVie is very nicely done! The grounds are nicely kept with a beautiful seating and patio area outside near a lovely fountain. Prices are a little on the higher end of midway, but not too expensive. You definitely need to give them a try! read more

I've been to this vineyard twice now, December 26, 2014 and again on July 15, 2015. Both tastings were delightful. In December, we were lucky enough to be there when the owner was doing the tasting. He gave us nice pointers for how to "taste" red wines. I purchased a bottle of a reserve sweet red wine. My friends and I also purchased glasses of their mulled red wine and enjoyed them upstairs by the fire. AWESOME mulled wine. In July I took my husband for a tasting. We really enjoyed the personable tasting. My husband liked seeing the fossils that were found on the grounds. We purchased a bottle of the Mt. Jackson Rouge. read more
