    a long table set for a wine tasting
    Nadjma R.

    Sexy Boujee Winos (SBW) Our recent tour on February 9th was an absolute delight, as we were graciously hosted by two exceptional wineries. Our first stop was the stunning Fox Meadow Vineyard, where Amanda, our gracious host, was eager to collaborate with me on creating the perfect small bites and food pairings. Amanda and Stephanie were absolutely fantastic as they ensured that everyone was happy and having a great time. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the wine and food pairings were a huge success. The bottles were flowing, and the winery was filled with the sound of laughter and joy. Check out our mouthwatering menu featuring:- *2022 Pinot Grigio paired with Spanakopita- Freezeland White accompanied by Raspberry and Brie Phyllo *A delightful treat of Strawberry Sorbet- * Freezeland Red served with Butternut Squash Ravioli *2020 Merlot paired with Merlot-infused Chocolate Bon Bon *My favorite wines were the Freezeland White, Freezeland Red, and the Merlot A huge thank you is in order to Fox Meadow Vineyards for providing such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend visiting it as they offer something truly special that you won't want to miss out on!

    My husband and I visited on the Sunday before Memorial Day. There was ample outdoor seating with shade that allowed us to enjoy a beautiful view. We ordered 2 custom flights (4 wines, $25) and a small charcuterie board to share. Our favorite wines were Le Renard Gris and Le Renard Rouge. We thought the wine was pricey for the quality/quantity, but did enjoy it. The charcuterie board was a pleasant surprise and a good value for the price compared to other wineries! We got 3 cheeses: we got to choose our flavor of goat cheese (we selected honey) and also got Bellavitano and Camembert. We also got 2 types of salami, crackers, green and pink olives (never had a pink olive before!), fig jam, and chocolate covered almonds. We also supplemented with a baguette, which I felt was a good decision (especially for the soft goat cheese). We're big eaters and didn't finish the board. I would recommend this winery as a good stop if you're looking for lunch.

    This is my happy place. The wine is good, the people are friendly and the views are exquisite. It's only an hour 20 from DC but it's gorgeous and relaxing. It's currently owned by Amanda and Whitaker who are down-to-earth and are constantly working to make the place as comfortable and welcoming as possible. I also love their snack menu - the baguettes and cheese selections were what really sealed the deal for me when I became a member 2+ years ago, and I haven't regretted it for a single moment. Highly recommend.

    Hubby and I visited Fox Meadow during the pandemic in passing through town. It did not disappoint! Pro's: -Friendly and knowledgeable customer service -Wine tasting is self walk through. You get a few samples with a description card. This helped us choose which bottle to purchase. -Indoor and outdoor seating available. Indoor was very spacious following social distancing rules. There was a separate room with more tables. Balcony is open with a beautiful view. -The Chardonnay was our favorite. Very light and refreshing. -Reservations are required for weekends -Clean bathrooms Con's: -It is on the smaller side for seating and probably would get crowded or have a wait during prime times/days. -Closes early at 5pm -No outside food allowed unless it is at the picnic area -A bit more on the pricey side Would visit Fox Meadow for the ambiance and beautiful views!

    amazing cheddar

    LOVE this place. been back twice, didn't disappoint. I'd make reservations, just in case .. they do fill up fast. We got the flight, tuscany cheese, crackers and chutney. That chutney is a must! I've tried the mango and hot peach now.. amazing. The view is amazing ... can enjoy the beautiful blue ridge mountain .. make sure to sit outside on th balcony when the weather is acceptable!

    *pandemic era review* We made a trip here from DC to escape the city. We started with a private wine tasting, featuring a sample of 6 of their wines. It was very much a self guided wine tasting. Having a baseline knowledge of how to taste wines helps. But seriously, sampling wine for the sake of figuring out what you like (or what to buy from this winery) has merit too. I'm a bold dry red wine person and my eating partner is a sweet white person. We both agreed that Le Renard Rouge was our favorite red. I preferred the Oakes Chardonnay and my partner the Blue Mountain Mist for the white selection. We finished on the balcony with a bottle of Renard Rouge and some smile bites (small baguette, smoked cheddar and salami). The food could have used a better presentation, especially for the price as it all came in its store bought packaging. However this may have been the safest mode given the pandemic. We got a sample of their mulled wine, so delish! Covid things- they have a very large patio to dine on while overlooking the vineyard. They also have picnic tables out by the vineyard. The tables inside and outside are well distanced beyond 6 feet. They limit customers by requiring reservations. And mask wearing is adhered too. If you're in the area or looking for an easy day trip from DC, this is a nice spot.

    Dog friendly patio

    Love this place. Amazing views. Great, dog friendly patio. New ownership has also added lots of little touches and items to their menu (like charcuterie boards) that are very much appreciated. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    Chardonnay
    Ruth D.

    The Chardonnay was refreshing, the view spectacular, and the live music was excellent (talented, good voice, and did not over power the conversations in the room). The space wasn't crowded, which might have been because of the rain. Still, we had to wait a few minutes for our tasting. It was worth it though: three of the tasting had delicious food pairings of cheese or chutney. Then, my two friends and I had a great picnic and even ran into some other people we knew- always a good sign, right?

    Customer service: similar to other experiences, we were not greeted upon arrival and they failed to acknowledge us, we were not members. Once they finally got to us they rushed our tasting and didn't bother much to engage in any type of conversation with us. They wanted us to try the wine and get the heck out. 1 star for service for pouring out wine Scenery: stunning views and location. The drive and getting there and looking at the property made it worth it at least. Wine: tasting is overpriced to say the least. we had 5 tasting for $10pp with food pairing. We got there around 3 pm on a Saturday and by the time we had our tasting all but one of the food pairing was gone. They could have opened a new chutney jar or cheese, etc but they said they were about to close so they did not want to open new products..... Weird since they advertise they closed at 5 and also we were paying a full price. Prices:Overall the wine is just as good as something you can get a trader Joe's for $3-4 per bottle but you pay 5-6x th price here. Also, we like to pack a picnic basket and order a bottle or 2 and just enjoy ourselves. Their policy does not allow you to do this here unless you are a member (that's fine) but be ready to take your business somewhere else if you want to do that.

    I'll echo what the other reviewers have stated - although this is a young winery - they have some nice wines that have a lot of potential. I took two of my friends here today - it was a cold, cloudy, overcast day - a perfect day for visiting wineries! We tasted 8 wines. As one of the other reviewers mentioned - we were given a taste of foods with some of the wines to demonstrate how they change with food. We were given a couple of cheeses and some chocolate - depending on the wine. We started off with the 2006 Pinot Gris, then moved quickly to the 2006 Pinot Grigio so that we could compare and contrast the two. Next up was their 2006 "non-oaked" Chardonnay, which we then compared with their 2006 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay. We then moved to the reds. First, the 2005 Syrah, followed by the 2004 and 2005 Cabarnet Franc. We then finished with a dessert wine - the Freezeland White. Very yummy dessert wine! I bought a bottle each of the following: - 2006 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay - 2005 Syrah - 2005 Cabernet Franc - Freezeland White We then took our picnic lunch we had brought with us out on their deck and had a nice lunch before heading out: smoked salmon, salami, turkey, swiss cheese, crusty bread, wheat crackers, blue cheese, Irish cheese, Feta-stuffed olives, baby carrots, strawberries, blueberries, lemon-dill Hummus, and chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert!

    Fox Meadows gets my vote for best tasting experience offered by any winery in the area. Jim walked us through our full tasting ($7.50), which included some food pairings. Jim was awesome. He took pride in sharing history, fun facts, and the right tempo for an enjoyable tasting. The Cab Franc was delightful and my favorite. This wind was smooth and medium bodied. We bought a bottle for a steak night...later that night. Very drinkable. The detail that Fox Meadows pays - including some cheese pairings and a chutney. Letting you know when pairings were coming so you'd know the pace. Really nice. The views are beautiful. It's a smaller deck but they also had some pretty sweet music playing. Good job all around.

    The Freezeland White is a very good, sweet white wine and a red that is comparable but a little less sweet is their Chambercin.

    **I will preface this by the fact that for once in my life, I did not do my due diligence and…read moreresearch the wineries rules and regulations before coming. The review does not reflect the fact I did not get to try their wine, but rather the way I was treated when I attempted to plan a trip to visit the "right" way** We were driving past this spot on a nice Sunday, coming home from a family lunch, and thought why not stop in? I did not have a reservation because (as mentioned above) I wasn't aware of needing one and I wasnt sure when I would be able to stop in as I was just passing by (we live 1+ hour away). As we pulled into the long dirt road, the front gates have no clear sign that says 'By Appointment Only' - perhaps a good add before your clients drive up a steep unpaved road to just be turned away. None of the vines appeared to be in use so the drive up may be more beautiful one day when the grapes are on the vines. The parking lot is a bit cramped and full of fancy cars, giving us a taste of the type of clientele that would be inside. We came in and I inquired if I could do a wine tasting. The staff member told us we needed a reservation but that he would do his best to try to see if they had space - totally fine. My mistake again- I did not realize that this winery required reservations (no other winery I have been to in Charlottesville, Middleburg, or NOVA has done so) so my first assumption wasn't that I needed a reservation. Again, no sign at the front that says this and would have saved me time. The space was obviously gorgeous, the views spectacular and it felt very Napa and upscale. The staff member returned back and told us they couldn't accommodate us- ok, disappointing but ultimately is what it is. I asked the two staff members standing there how early they recommend making reservations, as we dont live in the area so I need to plan ahead. They told me it was hard to tell but that basically any time it's warm, it will be hard to get a reservation and that "Saturday visits are a pipe dream" and Sundays are "pretty impossible too". They then kindly told me "you could try to snag a reservation maybe a Thursday or Friday". Mind you, their hours are 12-5 on Thursday/Friday...I live an hour plus away, let alone with traffic. I guess my only options are to take off work to come visit as it seems there will be no chance for me to ever get a reservation for 2 on the weekends.... Needless to say, it felt like the staff really could care less for our future business and we politely left. The staff did not offer to help us book a future reservation or anything of that nature - just a snooty response that I probably shouldn't bother every attempting to return on a weekend. Hilarious enough, I decided to look up their website and low and behold - they had tasting reservations that same day at 3 PM (45 minutes after we first asked about a tasting) - no offer to us to wait or come back to return, just basically turned away. Cherry on top- they have tons of reservations open for future Saturdays and Sunday. If you don't want my business, you dont have to tell me twice. If I want to deal with pretentious folks, I'll fly to Napa and drink wine actually grown onsite.

Although the staff were friendly and helpful, their divided attention noticeably impacted the overall experience. The venue offers attractive hilltop views; however, the tasting room itself is small and felt cramped even at half capacity. The wines were solid--slightly better than those at the neighboring vineyard--which aligns with the winemaker's established background and experience. The winery is family-friendly and allows children. Service was pleasant, and pricing was more reasonable than nearby options. I would consider returning with friends, bringing a picnic, and spending a relaxed afternoon outdoors while enjoying a few bottles.
