When we travel it's mandatory to talk to local people, what a great spot to do so, and such an interesting person behind the bar.

Disclaimer: I am friends with the owner…read more With that said, I have also recommended this winery to many of my friends. Three of my friends held their weddings here and I personally hosted a friends bridal shower here during the pandemic. I have to say the venue is PERFECT for all occasions. There are distinct areas that you can rent. During the pandemic, the owner went out of his way to help us set up the bridal shower, make sure the area was well ventilated, but also included heat lamps and fans so we would be comfortable. There is also an Air Conditioned tasting room that was super comfortable. I've bought cases of their wine and they make fantastic gifts. When just visiting, I love all of the activities they have and the wines. I will definitely be back and hope to host more events here.

He asked me where I was from and when I told him he said "I am sorry". Not cool at all. After that he asked if we liked red wine, we said no. He brought 2 glasses out anyway and insisted we try it. We finally gave in but we didn't like being pressured. We still don't like red wine. Then he asked if he could sit with us. We reluctantly agreed but instead of taking the empty chair he grabbed my wife's purse without asking and moved it to the other chair. What should have been a nice and semi private experience ended up being spent with a pushy host. Not contemplating going back.

Every time I visit the area from out of town, I do my best to check out different Virginia wineries but am continuously drawn to DuCard. I'm not a wine connoisseur but I do raise my pinkie when raising a glass. I do my best to try as many as I can - red and white, when not having to drive, just to experience the different wines available. All have been delicious and I always walk out with a few bottles. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the ambiance is loose, open, inviting, and just a cool laid back vibe. There seems to be entertainment every time I've visited and nosh is available as well. Definitely put this place on your places to visit when in the area.

As I've noted before in previous reviews, I'm especially picky in my winery choices. Prior to…read moremoving (most reluctantly) back to DC from living in California for 15 years, I had access to some of the best wines in the country. The wineries in the DMV area are generally lovely. But the wines? Well, they can sometimes leave little to be desired. It was such a pleasant surprise to visit this spot and find such high quality wines. I came here with my family, which included my partner and 2 young kids. Wineries can be a little boring for kids but there is so much to entertain the younger ones. First, there is a nice store that has a wide range of toys. And on the weekend we visited, there was a live band that completely captivated them. My partner and I decided to do the wine tasting with 8 pours. He went with the white and I selected the reds so we could try all of the pours. The Cabernet Franc was fantastic, which is one of the varietals that flourishes in Virginia. With that said, I think this was one of the best I've had in the region. My partner reluctantly tasted the Pino Grio, a lower grade wine he typically skips. To his surprise, this was his favorite on the menu with its dry profile and smooth finish. Finally, we enjoyed that this spot had a self-guided tour where you can go at your own pace and read about the winery process. Taking any winery tour with kids is such a challenge these days. So this was a great option to tag team and where we could both explore separately while one of us watched the kids. We'll be back!

It is such a cute spot with shaded Adirondack chairs offering beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The flights come in cute, antique, mismatched wine tasting glasses.

It was extremely peaceful and we'd definitely come back.

I decided on a flight of Provocateur, Bullet Sponge, Leftenant and a Molotov Fizz seltzer. One friend got a flight of cider and seltzer, and the other got a beer. We sat outside on the covered porch as it was a nice day and enjoyed our drinks. This is a smaller sized location with pretty views and a friendly staff. Their beverage options are a bit more limited than other places, but it's worth stopping in if you're in the area.

I visited opening weekend to this brewery/cidery combo (and wine, but not their own). Even on their…read morefirst day, things were really hopping. The tasting room is small, but there is seating outside (fortunately they also have an actual bathroom, not a porta-potty). There were chickens walking around so be careful where you park! I tried flights of the beer and cider. For the beer, my favorite by FAR was the Belgian Wit. I liked but didn't love the others. The ciders were also good, although not always my style. Personally I like a drier, more 'natural' cider making style, as opposed to flavor-filled ones. But to each their own; there's no wrong answer for this. They advertise themselves as a winery, but at least so far they don't have their own wine. But they do have a selection of local wineries, including Pearmund and Old House. Those are good ones to have, so if you visit for wine you'll be very happy. I love the Veteran/Military theme that permeated their decoration and literature.

The events are fun and everyone is so very friendly. Three workers (one was the owner) came over to us during our tasting to chat with us and see how we were doing on our tasting and they were all so friendly and nice. The tasting room has a nice feel to it even with the soaring ceilings. They have a gas fireplace but sadly it wasn't going today even though it was a bit chilly in the room. Their dogs are sweet and roam around looking for a pet here and there. There is a refrigerator filled with meats and cheeses and some waters and juices for you to purchase. But alas, their wines are just not good. The two whites we tried today lacked any kind of flavor and the reds honestly bordered on vinegar. I could tell right away by the color and the smell of the cab franc that it was off and one sip proved that. I want to like this vineyard because they are so kind and they try so hard but they really need another winemaker.

I visited Morais Vineyards for the first time yesterday to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and…read moreI truly didn't know what to expect since I had never heard of it before. From the moment we arrived, I was completely blown away. As we parked and walked toward the field--with gazebos and a dock with seating--I immediately noticed how kid-friendly the vineyard is. The playground setup was incredibly creative and perfect for sparking a child's imagination. I honestly wish I had known ahead of time because I would have brought my little one! The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained. There were horses roaming around, which added such a peaceful charm. As we explored, I kept noticing thoughtful and unique touches everywhere--from a stunning wine tree to large decorative clay pots, and even buildings designed to resemble a Greek town that house classic cars. It all made the experience feel extra special. There was a wedding taking place, so part of the property was closed off, but it was easy to see how perfect this venue would be for an intimate "I do." Inside the main building, they offered a great selection of food, an impressive wine list available by the glass, bottle, or flight, and hands down the best wine slush I've ever had. My only critique is that it seemed like the AC wasn't working inside, and I really felt for the bartenders who were working so hard as it got busier throughout the day. Overall, I absolutely loved this place. It's one of the few spots that truly caters to both adults and children, and I'll definitely be back.

When you say that a watermelon Jolly Rancher was the inspiration for your wine, you just need to stop calling it wine. Call it what it is - sugar water, with a twist of Dimetap.

We parked in the lot across the street although there is 2 hour street parking. Our server was friendly but it was a little disappointing that one of the drinks we wanted couldn't be ordered because it wasn't available (not sure why because it was just an old fashioned and we could clearly see the whiskey displayed behind the bar) so we ordered a different drink and the exotic mushroom pasta entree I ordered had a choice of being served with gnocchi or pappardelle pasta (which I preferred but again, it wasn't available so I went with the gnocchi). One of my friends got the beef sliders with mashed potatoes ($3 upcharge!!!) (they wanted the beef stroganoff but the chef wasn't able to make it without mushrooms) and my other friend the Brazilian beef stroganoff. The food was delicious. The ambiance was typical of a tavern with the TVs broadcasting the Olympics and the tall ceilings caused it to be a little noisy but not unbearable. We were too full for dessert but the carrot cake had been recommended so we ordered a piece to go (the biggest slice of cake I've ever seen!) along with a slice of their lemoncello cake. Good experience, I would've given them 5 stars had they not been out of so many things and unable to accommodate my friend's wish for no mushrooms
