We swooped in for a last minute getaway for our 25th anniversary--never having known about this area of Virginia--and came away totally stunned with The Shenandoah Valley and its surroundings. We used AI to find this place, and to our delight, Glen Gordon Manor is a treasure that will forever live in our memories. The manor has been under current ownership for about twenty years, and the chef/owner Dayn Smith lives onsite upstairs in the manor, along with this wife Nancy, who did the decorating for the manor. Maddie was a total sweetheart to us upon arrival (and any place we're greeted with a glass of bubbly earns a special place at the top of our list). We stayed 3 nights at Glen Gordon Manor (Sunday - Wednesday) in the Mews Cottage in the Fyvie room (there are a handful of rooms in this cottage). Fyvie was well-appointed and immediately comfortable. The small porch was a spot where we whiled away many hours (both morning and evening). The coffee delivery from the manor each morning was always so nice! If you've read ANY of the reviews here, you'll know that each room is outfitted with a multi-speaker SONOS system which was so clutch! Breakfasts served inside the manor were so delicious, and so filling! Each morning was something a little different--but the formula the same--usually beginning with a bread or scone, followed by honey-sweetened Greek yogurt with granola, and then the main which always featured a farm-fresh egg presumably from the chickens we gazed upon during breakfast. We couldn't sit still long enough to enjoy the beautiful pool during our visit, even though the weather was perfect for it. We spent quite a bit of our time visiting downtown Front Royal and even more time on Skyline Drive doing some hiking! For one of our hikes, we took advantage of the manor's offering of a packaged picnic lunch, and simply loved it. We enjoyed a five-course meal at the very sophisticated Houndstooth Restaurant in the manor, and were totally awestruck. We spent a lot of time trying to decide which dish was our favorite, arriving at a decision of "inconclusive" because they were all flawless. At the end of our incredible dining experience, the chef himself came into the dining room and spent a few moments at each table--what a treat! I overheard another guest comment that the manor has Pappy Van Winkle, why should I be surprised at that?! Wow! The only recommendation we could make (which has nothing at all to do with the Manor) is, try to plan your visit here on a Wednesay-Sunday ... we found that many of the vineyards were not open Mondays or Tuesdays ... and let's face it, this part of the region is wine country so the vineyards are a must! We visited Rappahannock vineyard, which was right up the street. Not disappointed at all!

However the tasting room more than made up for it. Cozy, charming and good people watching. In the winter there appears to be cute little wood burning stove inside. I saw that they used Real Solo stoves burning actual wood. Not some sad propane fire pit -- actual crackling fires. That kind of detail tells you everything about how this place operates. I love a good camp fire! The wines were genuinely good, and the staff made the experience even better. Super helpful with recommendations and clearly know their stuff when it comes to guiding you through the selections. There is pizza. It's available, but it didn't really deliver on quality -- stick to what they do best, which is the wine. If you are not in the tasting room, you can bring your own food. We LOVED the cats that casually wandered (snuck) into the tasting room like they lived in the place. They were super friendly and would walk past. On a clear day I imagine the outdoor space with those views and a real wood fire is pretty unbeatable. We'll definitely be back when the weather cooperates.

I love being able to experience Virginia wines while living in a different state and I love having my membership benefits when I do visit the area. The staff at Sunset Hills vineyard has always been welcoming, knowledgeable and hospitable. In addition, they are great with managing my shipments and account from afar and they make it easy to customize a shipment if you prefer different wines than they are offering. Their food service is great for pairing, I absolutely love their ciabatta bread and warm cheese spread with honey. My favorite thing to do is stop in, taste what is new and share a bottle and some snacks with friends while enjoying the views. Whether I am enjoying live music inside in the winter months or sitting on the deck or outdoor covered area in the summer months, Sunstet Hills Vinyard is my happy place to unwind.

We ended up getting a bottle to go as well since I enjoyed the wine. Lovely place for some good views and wine!

A time was had during my first but definitely not last visit to the Winery at La Grange!…read more Thanks to Guide to Imbibe, I stumbled across this gem a little less than an hour from DC. The parts of the winery I did see were beautiful. The house served as a Civil War hospital, then a home and now winery since 2006. I didn't get a chance to view upstairs or out back because I spent my entire time there in the tasting room. I was told upstairs has some parlours with seating for a more private experience. The outside view is beautiful with multiple tables to sit and enjoy wine and live music on the weekends. Mary, a fellow educator, took excellent care of me when I arrived! She was so warm and friendly and did a great job of explaining all the wines and helping me find wines that fit my preference. I ended up joining their wine club and left with 8 bottles. I also got to meet Flurry one of the staff member's dog. Everyone was so friendly and I'm excited to return with some friends!

Loved the quirky corky menu for a festive touch! We loved the Viognier, Virginia's signature grape! The Cabernet Franc Reserve was a casual wine that we were told would be great with pizza and Netflix! The coppery Cabernet Sauvignon was peppery and slightly dry which we liked! The Chardonnay subtle unique; more than oak and buttery, Zach said if you want just oak and butter, rub Land O' Lakes on a tree! Lol! The light Merlot "greets you at the front door" and cherry bombs you! Carmenere almost went extinct; thank you Chile for bringing it back! The wines were superb and we brought several bottles back home! The prices were reasonable and the experience was phenomenal! We thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed every moment at this lively winery and can't wait to return!

A year later, we're still so disappointed by our experience that we feel obligated to warn other…read morecouples. This venue has the looks of a dream wedding location, but the staff made our big weekend needlessly stressful. Instead of offering solutions, compromises, or showing any concern for reducing our stress, the team repeatedly created more problems, enforced policies with zero empathy, and treated us like an inconvenience rather than valued clients. THE GOOD (briefly): The property is undeniably beautiful--great views, flexible indoor/outdoor setup, and suited our budget. Desiree, the Club's Events Director and our Day-of Coordinator, was the one bright light here. She was kind and communicative leading up to the wedding, but sadly had no authority when it counted. THE BAD (and absolutely unacceptable): 1. Club members come first--brides come last. Despite spending over $40,000 at Evergreen, we were constantly reminded that the country club's paying members were their real priority. We felt like intruders, not celebrated guests. There was no flexibility or understanding--just hard "no" after "no" to simple requests. 2. Hanna the Innkeeper was rude, controlling, and dismissive. We rented the entire Inn to host our closest family and friends. When it started raining after rehearsal, our guests stepped inside to stay dry--only to be aggressively policed by Hanna, who kicked out anyone not staying overnight. She wouldn't even let them use the nearby Clubhouse to wait. Her behavior was rigid, hostile, and completely uncalled for. 3. Rain plan? Total failure. They claimed to have 74 umbrellas ready. We got maybe 20. Guests sat in the rain during our ceremony--something we were told wouldn't happen. Why? Because the rest were stored in a closet anyone at the club could grab from. Worse, Hanna accused our guests of stealing umbrellas. When we asked to check the closet for ones we had brought, she refused. Only when the GM finally stepped in did we find them--mixed in with the venue's. 4. Rushed out the next morning with zero grace. We expected to check out of the Inn by 11am--but were never told when our wedding decor had to be removed from the Clubhouse. As we tried to gather our things, Hanna barged in and demanded we clear everything immediately because of a Mother's Day brunch. No warning, no kindness--just a cold shove out the door. 5. False promises about ADA accommodations. We had a family member with accessibility needs and requested specific support. What we got was an uncompassionate ability to accommodate from Hanna. The beds on the main floor were too high, the showers weren't accessible, and Hanna misrepresented our concerns to management. Only after a personal meeting with the GM did we get a makeshift fix (mattress and box spring on the floor), but they refused to move the frame. The room looked ridiculous--and still wasn't truly accessible. 6. Sneaky pricing changes and unprofessional behavior. Two months before the wedding, the Day-Of Coordinator fee jumped from $250 to $1,000. When we asked for the original price to be honored, the GM responded with an email that seemed like it was for internal eyes only--defensive, condescending, and insulting. The level of disrespect was appalling. After more stress and the in-person meeting, we reached a compromise--but it never should've come to that. 7. Poor day-of coordination. Desiree, though helpful in advance, didn't have much control during the actual event. Between the ceremony and reception, the wedding party had little idea where to go and not much clear guidance. No one was directing the timeline so it was a bit chaotic. You hire a coordinator so you don't have to worry about these things on your wedding day. 8. $600 in wasted donuts thanks to carelessness. We had custom donuts made as take-home favors. Only half were put out (late)--the rest were forgotten back at the Inn at Evergreen. I noticed the number of boxes seemed low, but staff insisted everything was put out. By the end of the night, we were left with $600 worth of untouched, wasted donuts because they didn't bother to double-check. 9. Overcharged for food. The bridal party pre-ordered wraps (which were awful--dry and flavorless) for lunch. The day-of, we added chicken tenders, which were good, but the final bill showed 24 full orders for just two trays. They charged us $216 for a few platters. Ridiculous highway robbery. Seeing the final bill after the wedding, we were so drained, we just paid to be done with them. FINAL THOUGHT: This venue may be beautiful, but the staff, especially Hanna, will not treat you with care, respect, or basic hospitality. If you're not a country club member, expect to be treated like an afterthought. They added stress to every step of our wedding. We deeply regret booking here and strongly advise other couples to look elsewhere. There are beautiful venues out there that actually care about their clients--this is not one of them.

Book Evergreen for your wedding! Seriously, look no further! Desiree is THE BEST wedding planner…read moreever, and she and her staff are EXPERTS in anything you could want! We looked at 9 venues throughout NoVA and VA Beach, to include wineries, chic barns, and special event venues. Evergreen was the CLEAR choice! Not just for its picturesque setting, but you will not believe what is included in any of the wedding packages that you will absolutely not find at other venues. The Bridal Suite alone is to die for! So roomy, beautiful, and with plenty of space, beauty bar, mirrors, and dressing areas for the girls to prepare. The coffee and refreshment service is a MUST, and continually refreshed. Plenty of large dressing rooms, curtains, hooks and rods for hanging, mirrors, lighting, ceiling fans, seating, furry rug...they've thought of everything! The CC itself is fantastic. Club is private, so hubby was sadly not able to play on the epic course. But the restaurant is fantastic, and we had a total of 8 group meals there over the weekend. With the whole-Inn booking, a group breakfast buffet was included on two mornings, and it was fantastic! Other meals have pictures shown. This was 1 month ago, so I may get the actual names of dishes wrong, but you can't go wrong with anything in the menu! Pro Tip: There is a dress code in the CC/restaurant. They were very flexible and accommodating with our out-of-town group who didn't expect that, in our weekends' worth of only jeans, sweats, and actual wedding attire! But we definitely felt out of place among the actual club member clientele. ;-) Seriously... Bride's parents, look no further for your baby's fairy tale wedding! We would do it all again in a heartbeat!
