A dog completes a vineyard!
Elizabeth F.

This place is a true hidden gem. The vineyard is opened on Sundays from 1-5. There is a small sign for it on Riverside Drive just by its gravel driveway. The place is beautiful. There's patio seating and a lovely rustic indoor space. Now, the wine is pretty solid. On my previous visit, I had the Old Virginia Red (smooth, easy drinking type) and the bread and spreads (bread is from Raising Sun Bakery--delicious). I called it my lunch that day. On a more recent visit, I was with friends and ordered the Petit Verdot. Dry, but didn't quite have the pepper notes as described. We also got sangria (with pomegranate juice), very good and a bit strong. They add blackberries in the sangria, which offered a nice touch. We also got bread and spreads and some chocolates, too. It's a nice atmosphere and wonderful space. Virginia, the owner, thought about all the details. I love the peanuts at the table, it's a nice local touch. Service is attentive and helpful.

Had a private work event and Hamlet blew us, and the clients, away. Virginia was an absolute sweet heart and was happy to chat and share her story of the winery and how it evolved. The menu was seasonal and incredible. Tough to beat tomato pie and coconut cake, chased with some great wines. Purchased a few extra bottles to take home and I can't wait to crack them open and share. Cheers!

Hamlet Vineyards is all around incredible! From their stunning interior design, peaceful farm, tasty pickings and GREAT wines! My partner is from Martinsville, VA and whenever we are back down visiting his family, we cannot stay away!

Cindy was very helpful explaining the wines during our tasting

This is odd, this was hubby and my 2nd time here and things sure have changed a lot. We found them by accident when we went to visit hubbies parents. I'm not sure if they advertise, because the 1st. time we came, we were the only ones there. This time, it was very busy. It's the place to go, see and be seen! But we still like it!!

We decided to stop in for a visit on Saturday when the weather turned sour. Stanburn is a family run winery that sits on 20 or so planted acres. The vineyard itself is very well maintained and has a number of varietals planted. The tasting room is small and cozy and is decorated with awards, pictures, wine refrigerators, and some winery merchandise. Tabatha was very polite and was happy to talk about the winery and its history. Many wineries overlook this part and choose to focus on getting people through a tasting to get to the next group. It was nice to have a conversation to go along with the tasting. The wines were all refreshing. They are not overly tannic, so if big and bold tannic wines are your preference then you may not enjoy Stanburn's wines. Stanburn's Traminette was a treat. I find traminette to be hit or miss due to the often times unpleasant combination of aroma and residual sugar. Stanburn's take on this grape is to ferment it dryer which I found to be very pleasing. The Cab Franc Reserve was fantastic. The longer time in barrel greatly enhanced the character with a touch of oak that elevates this wine over the 2015 Cab Franc. The Chardonnay is clean and crisp and was held in stainless steel. If you avoid Chardonnay due to the "buttery" aspect, fear not. This Chardonnay was held in stainless steel which makes it a different beast compared against one fermented or aged in oak. I could keep going, but the bottom line is that if you're in the area, or if you see one of Stanburn's wines available for sale, do yourself a favor and give them a try.

There is a large offering of over 20 varieties. One of the current owners led our tasting and gave us detailed explanations of the history and thought process behind each wine. There are 11 wines that were the original Autumn Creek wines and then the new owners have added some new wines and new blends under the label Gioia dell'Amore Cellars. We liked all of the wines that we tasted. Our favorites were the Diamond Girl White & Red Blends and the Embrace Meritage red blend. After our tasting we purchased a bottle of Diamond Girl Red to enjoy on property. Outside the tasting room are a large deck and a brick patio with sweeping views of grapevines, a pond, a waterfall, a gazebo, a covered area and an event venue (where an anniversary party was taking place). It made for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.

When we left around 1:15 pm, only five other customers were there. The food was horrible, not one person in our group liked their food! I ordered a salad ($26) and chose to add steak as my protein. When my order came, it was totally wrong! It was a well done steak (ordered medium rare) with side of broccolini and fries. I ate one bite of the tough steak ($40) and decided not to eat anymore. I did eat the sides and found them to be average. When asked if I'd like a box to put my leftovers in, I declined. Others in the group ordered shrimp and grits, salmon, and chicken. The shrimp and grits were very runny, the chicken dish was too spicy and the salmon was undercooked. Needless to say, looking at their most current Health sanitation ratings for 2024 was an 80, and 2025 shows an 85. The buildings and grounds showed signs of neglect as well.

There was ample seating outside the checkout area; about half the seats and tables were under a covered, very large screened porch, the other half is out in the sun with large umbrellas to provide shade. The vineyard itself is small but the view is pretty and the wine we had was very good. The staff were all helpful and friendly. They have one bathroom available to customers but it was very clean, well-stocked with supplies, and the water was hot with good pressure (which is important for hand cleanliness). This trip was a 5 hour drive from where we live, so if we come back again, it would be for another family reunion. But, if you're local or a short drive away, it's definitely worth checking it out.

Staff was nice enough to let us try the Off Dry Flight in turn. They are dog friendly as long as dog is friendly and leashed.

Friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about their wines and wine in general. This is definitely a legit winery. Some southern VA wineries only have very sweet wines or fruit wines, but that is not the case here. About 10 or 12 different wines from about 8 to 10 different varietals of grape (don't remember exact numbers). The wines were great and a group of 5 of us bought 5 different bottles of wine. The winery itself is gorgeous. The building for the tastings additionally houses a rental space on the upper level that is also gorgeous. It opens onto a patio with beautiful views of both the grape vines and the VA countryside and mountains in the distance. You can buy a bottle (pre-chilled if white) and enjoy it and the views from the patio. As a side note, their label design is really cool. I can't say enough about how nice and engaging the staff of Ramulose were. It is a family run business with a father-son owner combo and each of their wives as the wine maker and general manager. We were able to meet three of the four family members and they are clearly passionate about what they do and determined to do it right. They definitely seem well on their way already. We will be back for sure, for the great wine, the great views, and the great people involved with this up and coming winery.

But after the charc board which we got as an appetizer I had no chance of finishing it; the french kiss sandwich (Country sprouted white bread, brie spread, grilled chicken, Granny Smith apples, parmesan cheese, pickle spear, chips) that came to the table looking underwhelming but turned out to be very impressive; and the Star City Flatbread (Artisan crust, organic pesto, Alfredo sauce, Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, goat cheese, Swiss cheese, garnished with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese) that was really great tasting but we couldn't do it justice after the Board. Service was good. Only one person in the dining room at lunch but she handled it well. She may have been working the kitchen as well, not sure. Restrooms were large and clean and well appointed.
