You can't go wrong!!! Although they don't offer food, they have food trucks outside with great options. my daughter had a pulled pork sandwich with beans and fries, amazing. and I had a crab cake sandwich with chips, so yum and so full of crab. 5 stars, A+ service

Our dog ... well dogged and was happy to be out of the camper. Overall, the beer was good, nothing earth-shattering, but they had some very solid flavors.

I was expecting a little more so our experience fell a tad short. I just thought it would blow me away but it's just not quite there. I was, however, really impressed with the amount of variety on the menu from local brews, local wines, and some European types! Reds, whites, rose, ports, dessert wines...YOU NAME IT! The wine was tasty, I opted for a sweeter white wine from VA, and my bf opted for a dryer red wine from VA. We slurped it down! The food was underwhelming. I don't believe it's prepared in-house. The flatbread we ordered had some bland chicken and was missing some color and seasoning. The fried pickles seemed frozen and the jalapeño poppers were nothing to get excited about. However, the local jam they served with the poppers made a BIG difference! I had never tried such a combo and that was pretty yummy!! Who knew jam and jalapeño poppers complimented each other so well. I'd love to try thier charcuterie boards too....maybe we just ordered the wrong items for a winery/brewery. Worth a pop in-

We stopped by Castle Vineyards on a Saturday evening, excited that they were open late (until 7PM)…read more The interior had rustic farmhouse decor, with a bar to order at and plenty of seating. 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.

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!

My wife and I decided to take the trip out here from Alexandria for a nice weekend getaway…read more Oktoberfest was going on at the brewery and an apple festival and several other events were happening that weekend, so we weren't able to find lodging close by. However, we decided to still go down and just make it a day trip. I am glad we decided to still go down. Everything was amazing! The views, the wine, the beer, the food truck, and the people! If I could give our experience six stars I sure would! I had never had a wine flight before. Those mini wine glasses were super cute! I was told that this was their first yield of bottled wine since they planted their grapes a few years ago. For them to be new, it was fantastic wine! And then we had the Oktoberfest flight. All of the beers were crisp and had very distinct flavors. Their descriptions fit them all to a T! We were very pleased with both flights to say the least. Since it was Oktoberfest, they had pony rides (we just rubbed her and gave her a little love), a food truck, very nice decorations and live music. I'm glad we got to experience the first Oktoberfest fest there. It will not be out last time visiting. If you want to meet great people while sipping amazing beer and/or wine, do yourself a favor and visit this spot.
