First, be warned that this place very difficult to find. Google Maps took us to a house address and we had to call them to get to the right place. Once we got there, the view was beautiful. They asked us to sit down at a table and said they'd bring the wines over to us. The entire time, it felt like we were intruding on a private party (a lot of people were hanging around the bar - it may have been for their wine club). They weren't very attentive - they waited a long time between each tasting, to the point where it felt awkward just sitting there. We tasted four wines, then assumed the tasting was over because they stopped coming over. TL;DR: the venue is beautiful, experience wasn't great, but the staff (while inattentive) was very friendly. The wine was eh - none we tried were good enough to bring home. The only thing that made it better was that the tasting was free since they've just started offering that.

I love finding hidden gems like the Rivah Vineyards at the Grove. I was in the area exploring some…read moreof the other wineries (there are three others within 10-15 driving distance) and wanted to try Rivah Vineyards since it is the newest, having only been open since November 2019. NOTE: If using your phone's GPS, Google Maps or WAZE are slightly off. Once your GPS indicates, "you've arrived" drive another 2-3 minutes and you'll see the entrance on your right. Drive up the slight incline and the first building on your right is where the main tasting room is located. Likely as you get out of your car, the unofficial mascot Happy (young chocolate lab mix) will come running up. But no worries, since he's a friendly pup who probably will have a ball in his mouth and just wants to play catch. Oh yeah, this place is very dog friendly! The best part of Rivah Vineyards, is the proprietor, Bryce. He immediately greeted our party and his enthusiasm was evident. Bryce is a local farmer and grower, who has spent many years assisting other vineyards in the area with their operations. So after helping other people, he decided to set up his own winery...and his decision is our gain for Virginia's every expanding wine industry. Bryce is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to Virginia wines and we probably spent more time talking to him about how the high clay content determines which grapes grow the best than, we spent actually spent drinking wines. If visiting and lucky enough to encounter Bryce, ask him about VA's terroir. Terroir in French literally means "soil" or "earth" and having a background as a farmer, allows Bryce to know what grapes can be grown for their estate varietals and which grapes are best grown in other parts of VA. For instance, while I really enjoy viognier white wines and at one time, this was designated as the "official grape of Va," Bryce actually explained to us that viognier grapes are rather inconsistent and don't really grow so well in VA's terroir. Honestly, too often when I go to wineries, the people I speak with during my tastings are either reading from a card describing the wines or don't really have a background on the product. Speaking with Bryce was like a "Master Class" on wine production. As for the wines themselves, really good for a small operation! I picked up these three bottles: YEOCOMICO WHITE: Blend of Vidal Blanc, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnel, and an off dry Petit Manseng. Not too dry and not too sweet. Good balanced white wine which pairs well with poultry and seafood. ELEMENT: One of the better VA RED wines I've tasted in a long time. Aged in French and American oak, this blend of Petite Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin, and Tannat. slight notes of plum and pepper corns and black currents. Probably best with red meat, but honestly, I could also enjoy this with cheese and crusty bread. SWEET SUE: A blend of 95% Chambourcin and 5% Concord concentrate aged in stainless steel. Named after Bryce's grandmother, this Rosé speaks of the winery owner's grandmother, definitely a strong palate of red berries and fruit supported by a 4% residual sugar. I wouldn't call this a "dessert wine" since there's low sugars, but it has a nice finish without being sickly sweet. Rivah Vineyards does not have leather couches or dark hardwood tables with large stone fireplaces, typical of some of the more "high-end" tasting rooms found in other VA wineries. But don't let that discourage you from visiting. There is a deck out back with a nice view of the Yeocomico river, which should be great for enjoying a glass of wine when the weather warms up. If in the area visiting some of the larger established wineries, I also HIGHLY recommend stopping by Rivah Vineyards to sample some of their excellent wines. And during your visit, be sure to play a few rounds of catch with Happy.

The wings were good, though the sauce was drizzled on rather than fully tossed. Cons:The fries were just okay. Despite staying to enjoy the live music, our wings and fries were served in to-go containers, and we weren't provided plates--expected to eat straight from the boxes, even though plates were clearly available behind the bar. Beer and cider selections were also more limited than expected. Overall: The venue has a great atmosphere, live entertainment, and decent wings, but the limited drink selection and the inconvenience of eating from to-go containers indoors significantly affected the overall experience. Therefore, I need to give this one a 3 out of 5.

There seemed to be something for everyone there as there was a field with slide and stuff to climb on right by the goats pen for the kids to play. There was multiple places to sit spread out amongst the grounds so finding a table for us to have our dog with us not next to another dog, was very easy (and there were a lot of dogs :)). There was a beer pavilion but they also had wine and I think liquor. Then there was a slushie shed where we worked our way through trying the various slushies. Food truck and there was a pavilion you could also order different food from. This was a good experience for our group as everyone got to get things that they wanted to try and were able to do it on their own bills and just bring things back to the table.
