    My friend has had a membership here for a couple of years and I've been fortunate to enjoy the member day on a quarterly basis. The complementary snacks are definitely a hit miss but I do love the a free glass of wine. The seasonal charcuterie boards and fresh made baguettes cant be beat. I look forward to that every time! The view is lovely and the chairs comfortable. We've enjoyed great seating indoors and out. Definitely make a reservation. My one gripe is parking: there's no designated handicapped spots which sucks. My friend generally ends up dropping me off at the entrance and then parking back down the hill. This is literally the main thing that keeps me from getting a membership of my own.

    Reservations @Delaplane Cellars to kickstart the Fall season. This winery is beautiful with amazing elevated views. There are picnic tables near the vines for seating and an array of other indoor and outdoor options that best suits your preference. There was a slight mixup with our reservation but it was quickly sorted out with minimal issues. Reservations have a time limit for seating which is strictly adhered to so keep that in mind. The wine tasting (flight) in my opinion was priced well but there is no engagement as the card and wine is just brought to your table for you to discuss and figure it out yourselves. I think this way is missing a big marketing mistake. In my opinion, you would want to sell the wine you are producing.... Just a thought. Nonetheless, no wine we tried was tasty enough to our liking to purchase anyway so no missed opportunity there. Lastly, the menu is limited but you can bring your own food. Also, if you want to order food to be delivered or can be done (as explained by the hostess). There was live music inside. The interior space is really small so keep that in mind. Also, the music cannot be heard outside. Because there is a rather enjoyable winery with expansive options not too far from my home, I don't think this place is worth the drive for me to visit a second time but I do recommend it to others.

    An absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable--Dederick was attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The tasting room, loft area and expansive patio with breathtaking views were awesome and very relaxing. The wines were all good quality. We preferred the whites over red, especially the Chardonnay- they offer 3 versions- oaked, unoaked and barrel fermented! We brought bottles of all three home. Reds were primarily bordeax style blends, each with unique characteristics. It's rare to find a place that exceeds expectations on all fronts like this. Highly recommend for an unforgettable winery experienc! My rating rationale  +1 Service +1 Wine~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    Our late Saturday afternoon visit was nice. You have to check in once entering and they will seat you. We placed our order and were seated then had to follow up with them to get our wine. It took about 30 minutes before we had our wine and others arriving after us were being served. Just a glitch with our order. A beautiful venue with great views. I liked the wine as well. The large deck has a lot of umbrellas so it is a wonderful area to sit on a warm but breezy afternoon!

    I enjoyed my time at Delaplane Cellars so much! I came here for my friend birthday and we had a 10/10 experience. We booked an igloo and got the charcuterie board and everything was delicious. The chocolate truffles, pickles, everything! The service was great! Richard was so nice, funny, and always checked on us. I would say this is a pretty casual and classy place! If you want to celebrate birthdays or other significant events Delaplane can be a great spot for that too. The views are amazing and when the sun is out you can capture some of the best photos. I would definitely recommend you to visit. I'm already planning to come back.

    I recently spent a laidback Sunday afternoon here with a friend and cannot say enough about the positive experience! We started with the standard flight, which then led to tasting bubbles (a traditional method blanc de blancs), and culminated with a bottle of their 2019 Piedmont Station Bordeaux-style red blend. Wine collectors will appreciate this winery for their age-worthy reds, but casual drinkers will also appreciate the sparkling options and early-drinking whites and roses. We had excellent service from the attentive staff, while live music and gorgeous views of the distant hills played in the backdrop. This is a new favorite on my Virgina wine list, and should be on yours, too!

    Tasting

    Stopped by for a tasing on a lovely Saturday afternoon and had a great time. We sat on the balcony and were able to overlook the vines. The wines were great and we got a charcuterie board to go along with it. All of the ladies were very nice and attentive. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

    Delaplane Cellars is absolutely stunning. The views are to die for, the bites are delicious, and the wine is robust! When we walked in we were immediately greeted and given a run down on how to order. Within minutes of ordering, the waitress brought out our wines for the wine tasting. We also ordered a sampler platter that was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back. We visited another Virginia winery a few days before going to Delaplane, but Delaplane was light years ahead of that one. Five star experience!

    Delaplane cellars offers an elegant tasting experience with comfortable leather seating indoors,two levels of outdoor decks, fire pits outdoors and gorgeous sunset views. We tried the wine tasting before deciding on a bottle to pair with the Virginia Sampler - three cheeses, sausage, marcona almonds and pistachios, olives and olive oil plus an outstanding fig chutney to accompany a fresh baked baguette. The sampler truly can substitute for a lunch. All of the wines we sampled were outstanding - their French oak aged Chardonnay was the standout among the whites for us. Just enough oak to smooth out the edges without being over oaked. (We are not fans of the 80s style heavily oaked Chardonnay - this is definitely not that). All of the reds were outstanding- we settled on a bottle of Adjacency to accompany our charcuterie sampler board. Service is excellent, our server checked on us multiple times and even brought out more olives and chutney. There is live music on the weekend. Parking is on the grassy slope below the tasting room although there is a drop off area in front if necessary. There's an uphill walk to the main entry.

    We went here to enjoy a day off since this is my boyfriends favorite VA winery. The scenery is gorgeous from the grounds the property to the views in the distance. We sat on a patio table under an umbrella and it was all so peaceful there. All of the staff was very friendly, greeted us promptly and came out a few times to ensure we had everything we needed. My favorite part was hands down the amazing charcuterie board. While pricey at $43, it has all top quality cheeses, olives, dried fruit, salami, fig jam and fresh baked bread. Sensational plate that would cost me this much if I bought all the ingredients at the store. Well worth it! The wine was decent, their Chardonnay reserve was my favorite, but the tasting had a great variety which I recommend trying first.

    Finding spaces and places to feel comfortable and relaxed during a pandemic can be challenging. Additionally, it's so much easier to get caught in a bit of a routine (or rut) when your social life might be more limited than in a pre-COVID world. That's why I'm so glad my friends planned a little adventure out to Delaplane, just an hour drive from DC. Despite the traffic, even the the drive out there was a nice change of pace, especially once I was able to break away from some of the congestion and enjoy the open landscape. We made patio reservations on a Sunday afternoon and we totally lucked out on a picturesque day. When I pulled up to the property, I was pleased that there was plenty to parking and it was abundantly clear I wouldn't have any issue locating my friends that had already arrived. They were already seated and had ordered a tasting for us, while they set up their picnic spread that they packed for us. (They sell food as well but best to call ahead to ensure!) The staff wore masks and the tables were nicely spaced out. If you were to enter the the interior, masks were required (which I always love to see.) Everything was pristine, clean and the staff was so nice and friendly. There is a time limit on patio seating, so just be sure to arrive on time. The good news is, there are also picnic tables and lounge chairs just below the patio where you can just take in the sites of the vines and enjoy some sun and fresh air. While I was only here for a few hours, it felt like a mini getaway and would be a perfect place to spend a local staycation. They also have private rooms that would be perfect for a special occasion or as an event space. I was also excited to learn that the Delaplane is now Black and minority owned, which is pretty rare especially for this region. Obviously, I'd love and support this business regardless, but that's just one more unique feature that aligns with some of my own consumer interests. If you haven't been out to visit, I definitely encourage you to do so soon!

    Patio sunset

    Excellent wine tasting selection. Beautiful sunset views. Live band. Insulated deck, patio, and Fire-pit seating options. Great customer service. One of my favorite wineries in the DMV area especially after finding out that the owners are Black and POC. I've been twice - once with a group of friends (Fall season-made a reservation), second solo (Winter-no reservation). I'm usually a red over white wine kinda girl but their white - Petit Manseng resembling a Riesling is my absolute favorite. Their winter special - mulled wine is also the best I've ever had. They even offer blankets to keep you warm in the winter months at no additional cost. For live entertainment, they had a father/daughter duo singing and playing country music. Highly recommend, bringing your favorite food/charcuterie board to pair with the wine since they allow outside food.

    The new deck!
    Rachel C.

    Delaplane still has solid wines and spectacular views. The charcuterie boards are as good as if not better than the wine. I got there too late in the day to get the fresh bread (they were out) and I own that regret. They've added a second deck in addition to me outdoor picnic table seating near the grapes! All tables felt a safe distance apart, and most folks and all servers wore masks. I've come in the winter pre-COVID and they had wood-burning fire pits, so it feels like this patio is something we will all benefit from even once summer ends. TL;DR The wine is good, the views are great, but the charcuterie and fresh bread are the best--and they have even more outdoor seating!

In other words, this isn't a group event at a big winery with lower priced non-estate wine options type of place. Lost Mountain Vineyards used to be called RdV. In June 2024, RDV was acquired by Eutopia Estates which is owned by the Bouygues family of France. For now they are Bordeaux-style blends focused on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. They have some white grape vines but they are not ready to produce wine yet. They tasting experience/tour lasts about 1.5 hours. You tour the front of the vineyard, the barrel cave and bottling facilities. Then you taste their three top red blends paired with ham, cheese, peanuts and biscuits. All the food comes from Virginia farms and producers. Both the wine and the food are excellent. As was the service for the tour. Details on the wines here https://lostmountainvineyards.com/wines/. Tour reservations via Tock. The one major downside is the price point. Over $300 for the tour and tasting for my wife and I. We recently visited Daou in Paso Robles and had more food and wine at a lower price. Also the price points on the wine are not tied to market norms. The Lost Mountain is $225 per bottle and the Rendezvous $110. This is considerably more than some of the best Virginia wines. For example, Linden's 2021 Hardscrabble Red is $68, The Barboursville Octagon 2021 is $75 and Glen Manor's 2022 Hodder Hill is $65. And at Total Wine one can purchase dozens of Bordeaux wines with 95 and up ratings for less than $100. We had a great time and enjoyed some high quality food and wines. But due to the price point relative to other great vineyards we will not likely be back.

    Good experience. Not worth it…read more The bottom line is $240 for a tour and 5 (3oz) pours with food is tipping the line of outrageous. Service was great, venue was good but absolutely outrageously priced for not much more value (if anymore) than a winery 5 minutes away. The wine is good but if you want a bottle it's $130. No joke $130 bottle of wine that isn't blowing you away. RDV (now lost mountain) is trying to promote an image that isn't there or consistent with their product or surrounding area.

The winery is both dog- and kid-friendly. All the parents we encountered kept their children supervised, which is a winery rule and one I really appreciate now that we have kids ourselves. Most of the dogs were also very well behaved, though one was repeatedly growling at passing dogs, which was off-putting. While the winery can't control every patron, we choose to leave our dog at home when she's not in a social mood, and it would be nice if all dog owners did the same.

But at the sight of a mile-long line of cars slowly inching up the hill to the entrance and no clue as to how long we would have to sit and wait, we decided to make a U-turn and head to the friendly-looking farm we had passed on the way. Turned out to be a great decision. Valley View Farm is a cidery, winery, orchard, and farm market wrapped in one and set against a beautiful backdrop of rolling green hills. So basically you can sip on cider and wine, pick your own apples, eat local cheeses, and check off your grocery list all in one place. Your visit will start at the red barn at the top of the hill that serves as both farm market and tasting room. This is where you'll buy your bag for apple picking, try the wine or cider, pick up some grass-fed beef from the freezer, and/or grab some apple butter (there are easily 15 varieties) or a $25 jar of CBD honey (yep, that's a thing). This is also where you will interact with the staff, an awesome bunch who managed to keep their cool and crack a genuine smile even when they were overwhelmed by the growing line inside the market. We purchased a $23 half bushel bag - the largest size available - and strolled down to the orchard, sipping on a light cider with just the right amount of tart. The apple trees were still plentiful even this late in the season and we managed to fill our bag with a nice array of red delicious, galas, and granny smiths (which were delicious, by the way). Afterwards, we strolled back to the grass, laid out a blanket, and had a lovely picnic lunch marveling at those rolling green hills and our two-year-old doing an unintended impression of Julie Andrews singing "The Hills are Alive". It couldn't have been a more perfect day. A few more helpful things to know: - Masks are required for staff and patrons inside the farm market. - The orchard offers plenty of space for social distancing. - If you prefer not to lay on the grass, covered tables are available on the porch and to the side of the farm market. - The bathrooms are two porta potties located to the right of the farm market (there aren't any inside) so...bring hand sanitizer if you just can't hold it. We loved our visit and are already plotting the next one for pear picking!
