We were running a bit early for our hotel check-in and decided to find a winery. And, wow, did we…read morefind a great one! We were greeted by Steve, who shared info about the tasting and invited us to head to the fireplace and he would bring in our tasting flight. Because we do this a lot, we opted for a tasting flight of white, and one of red. This gives us an opportunity to taste small amounts and then decide what we might like more of. Frankly, we were surprised! The whites were not sweet - and we particularly liked the cuyoga white (sp?) so well that we enjoyed a bottle of it along with bread and oil. We enjoyed the reds a well, but just not as much as the white! Melissa kept the fire tended, it was a very nice experience to end our day of traveling.

It's a beautiful space indoors and out. Unfortunately, the rain went loose upon our arrival and we were unable to enjoy the outside area. They do have a new outdoor bar, which looks great. They did have live music on the stage outside. And the tables that were undercover or all filled. Of course there was plenty of room inside and in the winter they have a beautiful fireplace. I had a glass of sparkling white, and my husband had a red flight. We were only there about an hour, but I'm sure I will be back again next year if you like wine it's definitely worth a stop. Oh & they are dog friendly too & have water, bowls, and dog biscuits for your pups.

This review is for the Latrobe location…read more While visiting our aunt in Latrobe, we had dinner at Carmine's Pizza & Pasta and noticed some interesting bottles behind the bar. We were curious and asked the staff about them. She told us they were from Rusty Musket Distilling. She also mentioned that the distillery was located on the same street so we quickly checked the map. We found out they're only open on Fridays and Saturdays and luckily for us, it was Saturday and they were still open when we finished dinner. So we decided to stop by afterward. It's a small place with a bar counter and a couple of tables. We mainly wanted to do a tasting and pick up a bottle as a birthday gift for our aunt. We tried the moonshine and two different whiskies. I'm not usually a whisky drinker but the maple one was sweet and surprisingly enjoyable. In the end, we bought the Mountain Rita which is their margarita-flavored moonshine. It really does taste like a margarita and is dangerously good. It doesn't taste strong at all, even though it's 40% alcohol! Our aunt has lived in Latrobe for more than 30 years but had never heard of this distillery. I have a feeling she's going to love the Mountain Rita and start telling everyone about it!

After many trips to the DMV, we decided to do a little exploring during our latest visit. After a…read morehalf an hour Lyft ride, we found our way to the Murlarkey Distillery in Manassas. Once on the compound, it was difficult to miss; large glass doors and walls with the humongous crest on the front of the building. We decided to do a walk in tasting and were lucky enough to have Jonathon be our guide to all the outstanding spirits made at the distillery. Jonathon was extremely knowledgeable about the distillery's history, products, and merch. Jonathon's passion for the distillery was continually on display, and he kept the spirits light with his unique brand of humor. Be mindful that the tasting room was packed, so I also recommend making a reservation to ensure you can enjoy the experience. The options for the tasting were the clear or amber flight options. The clear choices being some of the steeped fruit and tea liquors, served with mixers for their signature cocktails. These drinks were what the distillery was most known for. The ambers were their more recent whiskey offerings, consisting of differing ageing and steeping techniques, to create their very different spirit flavors and textures. Jonathon was able to give us the history of each spirit, as well as provide mixing options, if they were a little strong for the palette. The ambers were all unique and each provided a little something for you to think over and you tasted your way through the Murlarkey display. We really enjoyed the tasting, the whiskey, the ambience, and especially Jonathon, who made the experience totally worthwhile. We grabbed a couple bottles, some of their great Bootlegger Boys merch, and made our way to their cocktail bar, Proof to taste some more of their signature cocktails. If you're in the area and looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours, look no further than the Murlarkey Distillery. Hope to see you soon.

My first winery experience was in Castle Vineyards when my friend and I did a mini bachelorette…read moretogether in the Luray area. This place is serene and extremely peaceful and I could probably just sit outside and take everything in for hours. There are a few boardgames to play as well. There aren't a lot of seating inside, but during the daytime, the place was very laid back and not overcrowded. There are no marked parking spaces, but people typically park on the grass and there is ample space for so many cars. The interior of the main building was very simple and "bare bones" but had a homely charm to it and the lovely woman who served our flights was such a gentle, warm person who complemented the peacefulness of the place! My friend and I ended up buying our own bottles of wine and my fiance absolutely loved the Barren Ridge's Touriga wine that I got for him! Will definitely be back to bring him the next time around! Just a great place to take a step back and enjoy some wine!

They offered both tastings and flights, but my friend and I both chose a glass of Rosé. The staff member had described it as crisp and dry, but it was still a bit too sweet for my preference - not terrible though. We sat on the rocking chairs outside and admired the nice view of green fields. I think they were setting up for a private event in the meantime, because people kept showing up with their own trays of food, and a whole bunch of children and dogs. Overall, we liked the ambiance here but the wine wasn't especially memorable and service was lukewarm.

Steve is the father that started making wine as a hobby in 1984, fast forward to 2017 it became a reality, opened in 2020 and the pandemic happened. But now the winery is opened 5 days per week for wine tasting and carry out. The daughter Roberta runs it and said they're turning the side deck into a location you can enjoy doing wine flights, having a glass of wine etc; Roberta has the right southern charm to run the business. She did a wonderful job telling us about the different wines, what was available for tasting. Everything is Italian theme. Even the sweet wines. She said at first her dad only made dry wines. She told him if you want to sell the wine, you must make sweet wine. She said he doesn't when in the barrel due to a bad experience with oxidation. She said he uses staves to oak in steel, which is easier than having to worry about topping off constantly like myself :) she said he typically ages the wine for 4 years. Such patience. She said they are adding new wines every 2 months. That's spectacular to be able to do that. Overall, enjoyed the winery. Everything we had was wonderful. One good thing is that we got a card that every so many wines you purchase, you can obtain a free one after so long. We will be back. Cool vibe. Roberta does an amazing job.
