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.

The owner Jesse was around explaining the basics of wine making and giving tours of his small working winery. If we had any questions about Pawpaws, Debbie was there to answer every question and selling saplings. I bought two and hope for successful trees to have my own pawpaw fruit in the future. Couldn't ask for a more perfect weekend and remember, Life is to short to drink bad wine. Cheers to JBR Winery for a great time.

I know basic rule of thumb is red wine for meat and white wine for chicken, but I prefer red to white wines and JBR's Springdale Vineyard Vintage-Pinot Noir from Virginia was just the right balance of fruity sweetness to enjoy with my chicken dinner. My guests raised their glasses in agreement.

So I was a little unsure whether the wine selection at Beliveau Farm Winery would be for me. But I'm happy to say that these guys are making some great wine. Yvan and Joyce, the owners, know what they are doing in terms of grapes and wine, because they have traveled and enjoyed wine from all around the world. They have a good thing going on here. When I visited, I did a wine tasting, which was paired with different flavored potato chips. So I got to taste several different wines. I'm more of a red wine gal, but one of my favorites at Beliveau is the Crazy Professor, which is a white wine blend: Vidal Blanc, Chardonel, Pinot Gris. They also have a tasty Cab Franc (one of my favorites, too), and another Crazy Professor wine, but this one is a red called The Professor's Crazy Estate Blend, which is Cab Franc, Syrah, Merlot and Tempranillo. Almost all of my favorites in one bottle! So, yes, you will find some great Virginia wines here. You can enjoy a glass indoors or outdoors. I hope you sit outdoors, though, because the grounds are beautiful and expansive. This place is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, too. There's lots of open space for kids to run around, and some big rocks for them to climb on.

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).

Our party of 4 started with a wine tasting at the bar with a very friendly, knowledgeable pourer. Every wine was good, some better than others but all good. (It should be noted that they do not grow their own grapes due to the altitude.) After our tasting we ordered food and got bottles of glasses of wine and found a table on the covered patio as it looked as if it could rain. They were not offering their wood fired pizzas this day because of the possible bad weather which was disappointing as we were all looking forward to it but we did order some sandwiches which were pretty good. All in all a very good experience and their winery dog made it even better. Oh they also have a bocce court which was nice to see but we didn't play as it was wet from a previous rain shower.
