The wines are incredible and this is coming from a pretentious Northern California wine drinker. I…read morelove the setting in a semi industrial district. That's no frills and truly gets down to the nitty-gritty of great wines. I think what would make this a five star gig is to have even something like a food truck out in the parking lot dishing out. Something is simple as margarita pizzas or something to pair well with this phenomenal wine venue. Kudos to the staff for being incredible and engaging and I will be back without a doubt. Staff is incredible as are the wines.

Located in an old industrial building the tasting room may be small, but it is a very cozy vibe with lots of modular seating to meet up with friends, relax with a glass of wine, and spin some vinyl. There's a ton of parking out back, although it does get busy as it shares the space with a brewery next door. The wines on offer here are always rotating, with CWC's own wine label as well as featured wines from winemakers participating in their apprentice program. They have various events all times of the year, so check out their website if you are interested in supporting a small business and a diverse group of up-and-coming winemakers. I visited for the first time during a winemakers karaoke event, and it was a beautiful night of community, quirky karaoke performances, and direct chats with the winemakers themselves. To say I had fun was an understatement! The wine styles themselves tend to be fresh and newer blends or less common varietals made in very traditional methods, with low interventions and reduction of additives to the final wine. They also have a wine club for those interested in supporting their winemaking efforts on a regular basis. If you enjoy wine or are just getting into wine ,you'll love this place.

When traveling solo it can be tough to visit wineries even if they're dog friendly outside because you're expected to go inside to order, and I refuse to tie my dog up. Not this place - he was gladly welcomed in the tasting room! The other patrons were super friendly and after seeing me take a picture of my dog they were quick to jump in and make sure to do a whole photoshoot of me with him. All the staff were in love with my dog and even grabbed some treats for him. Basically, if you have a dog...this is the place to go! I got the white wine tasting flight and didn't love a couple of the wines but I'm admittedly not a wine snob and I mainly drink sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio. Have never been a fan of chardonnay so I don't think it's that theirs is bad - more of personal preference and I'm sure others love it! I ended up getting another glass of the Vidal Blanc because that one was excellent! We visited 10/26/25 and loved seeing the fall colors in the background. It was pretty empty on a Sunday so we easily got a front row table where we could look out at the vineyards/trees/mountains. Will absolutely be back here if we're ever in the area again!

We went to Veritas for lunch and wine tastings. Both were good…read more We sat outside on their veranda and enjoyed the view with our food and wine. It was lovely. For lunch, we had the Apple Brie and Turkey sandwich. That was such a good combination. We also had the Arugula and apples salad. It also was good. The main tasting costs $20. They also offer an option to customize your wine tasting for $30. Both provide four wines. We customized and had the Sauvignon Blanc, the Viognier, the Rose, and the Petit Verdot. All were good, and it was fun tasting such an eclectic mix of wines. The staff are kind and professional. Our server gave us a little history on the vineyard, which we really appreciated. There's no pressure to buy bottles of the wine.

There is a cozy indoor open space for seating, with some fireside seating, couches, and high top tables of four. There is a big wrap around patio also with outdoor seating with a closer proximity to the amazing views. The food options here are nice, nothing too far from meats and cheeses, but I'm okay keeping it elevated with the main thing the main thing. Their wines are mostly dry, but good especially with foods. On this particular visit my friend and I had already had lunch, so opted to share a bottle and a cheese plate. It was perfectly portioned to share and enjoy a nice friend date with scenic views. I enjoy Veritas and it's a great stop for an hour or so to wine down and relax!

I started researching various wineries and vineyards along the Monticello Wine Trail, because we had stayed at B&B in Charlottesville once a number of years ago. I settled on Afton Mountain Vineyards and I am SO glad we found it. We booked an overnight stay in one of their cabins. The very modern, well-appointed cabins can be rented even on weekdays when the winery itself is not open for tasting hours (we checked in yesterday, on a Wednesday). A sleepover at a winery! What a great thing to add to my summer adventures! The whole property is beautiful; very peaceful and serene. We enjoyed wine we had purchased earlier in the day on the back porch last evening and then coffee this morning. Our checkout time was 11:00 this morning, so we headed to the tasting room then. I wanted to try their Albarino wine. We purchased two glasses from a lovely employee in the tasting room, and sat outside for over an hour just soaking in the gorgeous scenery. They have thought of every amenity.

I noticed that flights shared by 2 appeared to have more of a pour. I purchased an excellent bottle of Albariño ($32) and a snack of antipasti olives & cheese.
