The inside seating area is small, but very homey - our friends and us took up the four chairs by the window and yapped away here for hours and it is honestly a bit of a Richmond core memory for me. The bartender was so attentive and helpful in choosing amidst the multitude of options, and really made sure our experience was exactly what we had hoped for. Will definitely be back!

As for the food, we asked for our charcuterie board to go, and it was still pretty in the box. There's also honey sticks, body care items, mugs and apparel.

Windchaser is unmatched by others with its incredible home charm and its incredible location 'next to' but not in the Williamsburg outlet area. Will be back!

Highly recommend trying a flight, which is surprisingly filling. For their mead flavors, I really enjoyed #21, Apple/Cinnamon, which is also the house favorite. #19 Mango 5 was a close second followed by #14 Pineapple. Overall, all of them are really delicious, and would recommend the Pina Colada slushy. One can also buy bottles to take back home! For mixed drinks, recommend the Gold Mine. For food, the sweet potato fries with apple butter dip is delicious, along with the honey ham sliders. If you're here for an afternoon, check out the charcuterie board! Our server Robert was fantastic, providing great advice for what to drink. There is a nice outdoor patio, that can get busy over the weekends! It's usually not too busy with self-seating and chalk for fun designs. Be prepared for changing seasonal flavors.

I am a sucker for flights and they have flights of Mead so that was the main draw for me and it gives you a chance to sample a variety of flavors and blends. They have an entire wall of award-winning Meads. The atmosphere really elevates the experience. With live music, a welcoming outdoor seating area, and a relaxed cozy vibe inside it's a place to spend a few hours unwinding. They offer light snacks, which pairs nicely with the drinks.

She was very welcoming, upfront and honest with her recommendations for our 2 flights that we selected. We chose from meads and berry wines as well. Emily didn't steer us wrong at all. After ordering we sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. Both flights came with oyster crackers and chocolate covered almonds. The Lavender and Persimmons was my fave selection.

We stood in a long line just to be told we could not purchase anything. We did go back to the car and found some cash for a glass of wine. The cashier recommended their "bacon castle" red wine and it was pure vinegar - we had to pour it out. My Mom wanted to try their wine slushy, which is what we paid for, but then were told they are completely out and we would have to wait at least another 20 minutes for it to be made. We then asked for a spritzer instead, which was cheaper $6 cheaper for two glasses. But when we asked for the money difference back, the cashier looked at us like we were the crazy ones. Plus, the spritzer was not good either. We did like the little goats roaming by the tower though, which provided a nice ambiance, but that's about it.
