Every day should be this good. Our day at the Shelburne Vineyard far exceeded all our expectations. We didn't want to leave. We were there on a Sunday, a beautiful spring day - the sun shining and the small group of visitors kept growing as the afternoon progressed. Unknown to us, the Vineyard had a busy agenda planned, but first they steered us to a grassy area away from their main parking area to park for the night. We went inside to the cool and comfortable wine tasting room and were greeted by a very friendly engaging staff. Ruby offered us a sample and ran through their day's agenda. A talented group of musicians were setting up their equipment on the shaded patio outside while guests were spreading blankets on the lawn or setting up a picnic on one of the several available tables. We were meeting old friends there and hoped we could find a seat. The band played much of the music that I grew up on (Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, the Dead, and lots more.) We picked out a few bottles to put in the frig in our rig ... then went back inside. Our friends (that live nearby in Vermont) joined us first inside where we shared a charcuterie board. We later moved to our Class B with them and enjoyed our little picnic, accompanied by their delicious wines. Then late in the afternoon, we went back inside because a jazz ensemble was to perform. The sun was still shining and everyone there was feeling the vibes. We met the owner who had a staff that he should be very proud of - they were very gracious to all the guests that came through. Be sure and stay here if it's in your path. read more

Went to the vineyard on a whim and it did not disappoint. Starting with the wines, they could be hit or miss. It really depends on your palette, and you have to understand that the grapes local to the area will not be your typical grapes. My family got flights, both sweet and dry. We really liked the 2023 Louise and 2022 Marquette. In fact, the Marquette was the best of the bunch from my point of view. The ciders were both really sweet, but the Eden Angeljus was pretty good and reminiscent of Mead. The Riesling was also a favorite. We got a cheeseboard for two, and that was freaking delicious. It came with a maple cranberry preserve that was out of this world. But the cheese, and even the crackers, were exceptionally good, too. Beyond that, the service was exemplary. Ruby in particular was a joy to talk to and quite good at her job. Finally, the live music they had playing was surprisingly good. I did not expect that kind of quality on a random Saturday in May. I highly recommend going to this winery. read more

Shelburne Vineyard is a beautiful property and a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. The building is charming, with a cozy upstairs loft featuring vintage seating for tastings and live music. We did one of the signature tastings and one of the sweet plus a yummycheese board with meat - very good and general amounts of crackers! The music was good and they were having a jazz band play later that evening. Outside, there are lovely views of the vines. Along with wine, there are food and non-alcoholic options. We enjoyed the tasting, found a wine we liked, took home two bottles, and couldn't resist one of the candles. read more

Visited Shelburne Vineyard a couple days ago and had an amazing experience! I came here with my partner to celebrate an anniversary and was met with excellent wine and even better service! Our servers, Ruby and August, are the main reasons I wanted to leave a review. They were knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun!! Never a dull moment with these two. Will definitely be coming back!! read more

Have been to Shelburne Vineyards many times, most recently in early October. The property is beautiful, and we love when we're able to grab a table outside. We enjoy their wine flights - the Daisy and the Lupine were very tasty, and we grabbed a few bottles of the Substrata, Cayuga, and Subduction to go! I don't drink locally grown New England wine often, but Shelburne Vineyards is among my favorites that I've tried. The service during our last visit left a bit to be desired. The host pointed us to the bar which is first come first serve, we grabbed 2 open seats, and proceeded to wait 20 minutes before any of the bartenders even acknowledged us. We requested menus, but after waiting another several minutes, we just borrowed menus from the group next to us. Fortunately we weren't in any rush, but noticed a couple of other groups frustrated by the slow service leave before ordering. Most of the times, service is fine, folks are generally very friendly, and we always enjoy stopping by whenever we're in the area! read more

I had such a wonderful experience visiting this winery in Shelburne, just outside of Burlington. The setting alone is worth the trip -- classic Vermont beauty, peaceful surroundings, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay all afternoon. The wines were excellent. Each one was thoughtfully crafted and beautifully balanced, with flavors that really reflected the character of the region. Whether you prefer something crisp and refreshing or smooth and bold, there was something to love. What truly made the visit special was the people. The staff was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling pushy. They took the time to explain the wines, share insights about the vineyard, and make the experience feel personal. The service was exceptional from start to finish -- attentive, friendly, and professional. You can tell they care deeply about both their wine and their guests. If you're anywhere near Burlington or visiting Vermont, this winery is absolutely worth a stop. I can't wait to go back. read more

We had a great experience at Shelburne Vineyard yesterday choosing varieties of wine for our upcoming wedding. Ruby welcomed us to the tasting room and patiently poured and explored with us the several kinds we were considering. It was a lot of fun, an experience we highly recommend as a part of wedding preparations. We left with a case of excellent bottles of reds, whites, and cider that we are excited to share with our guests. read more

I don't tend to go to wineries in the United States unless in major wine growing regions, but we went to Shelburne Vineyard co-located with Eden Cider for what I could describe as a life changing experience on what types of wines Vermont puts out. Shelburne Vineyard is a distinguished winery located in Shelburne, Vermont. Known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices and the production of high-quality wines, Shelburne Vineyard has become a notable destination for wine enthusiasts in the region. They are co-located with Eden Cider, who in their own right are known for its dedication to traditional cider-making techniques and the use of local apple varieties. We had a HUGE Charcuterie and Cheese Platter paired with four amazing ciders and wines. Eden Foxwhelp Cider: A Bone Dry / Sparkling Cider 2021 IAPETUS Substrata: A Dry Light Barrel Aged Wine 2022 Shelbourne Vineyard Whimsey: A Dry Fruit Forward Meddow Rose 2021 Shelbourne Vineyard: A Dry Oak Aged Marquette Reserve - super complex and one of the best Marquette wines I have ever tried ____________ read more

Rainy day outing that was least expected. Enjoyed the Red wine flight, I'd say 2 out of 4 were to my liking. (Petite pearl & marquette) Paired the flight with charcuterie board. Good small size board that was sharable. Weren't bombarded with discussions of wine, was able to enjoy at my leisure and if I had questions, it was welcomed. read more

Absolutely loveliest time here. I came for a drink and some alone time, people watching, talking to strangers. I found myself being served by Ruby and August. Truly made my entire experience. Their conversation, expertise, and hospitality blew every expectation i had of the night out of the water in the best way possible. read more

We used to love coming here for the tastings and to pick up a bottle of wine. We were disappointed in our last visit as they no longer have tasting but instead offer flights. Not the same. Very underwhelming and after raving about a great experience to our friends it was disappointing to say the least. read more

We had such a pleasant experience. It was so laid back. Great music and service. We did the lupine flight and the buttercup flight. The wines and ciders were great. We did the cheese plate for 2 with locally sourced cheese. They had board games available and corn hole outside. read more

We had a private educational tasting to celebrate my friends bachelorette party and we had a blast! Kate was the one who did the tasting and she was so knowledgeable and taught us about the wine making process, the history of the winery, the wine labels, how to pair foods and taste wine, etc. Kate was fantastic and I would recommend anyone to request her for a tasting! The wines and charcuterie boards were delicious as well! A must go place for any occasion! read more

Shelburne Vineyard was fantastic. You're able to order wine or cider by the glass, or by flights (pre-set by flavor profile/sweetness level or custom-made). I personally really enjoyed their sangria slush and their sweetest cider. We also ordered their meat and cheese plate (jam, figs, meat, cheeses, olives) which was on the smaller side but still excellent! They have both indoor and patio seating set against the backdrop of their vineyard. Service was friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

Disappointing. Only allowed to buy a flight or glass of wine...no bottles allowed to consume at site. Lots of yellow jacks flying around outside so had to move indoors since my husband is highly allergic. One of the yellow jacks landed on our cheese board that server saw when helping us to move inside. No offer from server to replace the cheese yellow jack landed on. The wine slush was way too frozen so much so that we were unable to sip it through the straw they served it with. read more

Stopped here right after they opened on a Monday, we were the only one there. It's a cute little place with seating inside, outside and in a loft area. The view from the windows is of the vineyard. Staff were very nice and helpful. We both chose to do a flight of wine. There is several flight options to chose from and all have a theme from the show the office. You can also pick any combination of wines or cider. We also chose a local Brie and crackers to go with our flight. Wine and ciders were good, we even purchased a few bottles to go. In total the flight was $15 each and you got to keep the wine glass. They are also dog friendly! read more

First winery my wife and I hit in the area. We enjoyed it very much along with cheese and crackers that we purchased. Nice to sit on the patio and look at the mountains and small vineyard. I enjoyed watching the sheep eat the weeds. Service was very good. We booked our time on-line using the local app (not opentable). read more

We stopped at Shelburne Vineyard as part of a bachelorette trip. We were seated in the loft and luckily we were the only ones up there, so it felt very private which was nice. I tried the Kelly flight and enjoyed most of the wines except for the ice ciders. We also got all of the meat and cheeses from the menu and we really enjoyed the goat cheese crumble. read more

Being a wine lover, I was super impressed with the wines from Shelburne Vineyard. There was balance, great flavor and acidity in the wines. They also offered a few ciders and a dessert cider, which I purchased to bring back home. Tastings are held outside or inside. Very inexpensive and the host was a Sommelier who knew a lot about local wines, local ciders, and all about Shelburne Vineyards. I highly recommend visiting. read more

I love wine. When I saw Shelburne Vineyard pop up in my yelp searching I was thrilled! This place is so cute! You can stop by at any time for a tasting- it's about 8 wines for $8. You can also do a pairing with cheeses but we opted for straight tasting. The servers at the vineyard are so friendly and walk you thru each of their varietals. They were all rather good but my fave was the harvest widow. It was actually a mistake that came from the result of hurricane sandy I believe back a few years ago! I also really enjoyed the Rosé in a can! This is totally a thing in Vermont and I'm here for it all day! They also offer tours of the vineyard daily. We opted out of that because we stopped in before our flight home. Wonderful experience with some lovely wines! Not too far from downtown Burlington so it's worth a visit. Also, if you're like me and riding with a +1 who is all about the beer- Fiddlehead brewing is directly across the street. Makes for a nice his and hers day of drinking! read more

Lovely setting, helpful associates, and wonderful wines. I went home with a bottle of the Marquette reserve.

This vineyard is located on beautiful grounds and offers a great selection of wine. Tasting is $8 and you get to try all of their wines! That includes 5 whites (including a sparkling and rose), 4 reds and Ice wine. You get to keep their glass too! The pours are really small so if you are going to share a tasting, I would recommend get your own. They also do a wine and cheese pairing so you can sit outside and enjoy their gorgeous grounds. They are famous for their can wine, rose in a can! They also have white in can which was not on the menu but our hostess was happy to pour for us. There is a really cute dog, super friendly. read more

I'm really not sure where to go with this review as my first impression wasn't positive. I made a reservation for 12 PM as that is required now due to social distancing and because they only offer outdoor seating now. I arrived about 45 minutes early so I waited in my car in the parking lot. About 15 minutes later a guy was working outside and looked over at me and decided to slowly make his way to my car. As he got next to my car I pulled down my window and he asked if he could help me. I explained that I arrived early for my 12 PM reservation. It ended up being the owner. I don't see what the big deal is if arriving early and waiting in my car. Anyway, him approaching my vehicle and asking why I was there turned me off. It's not like I was doing drugs or passed out. I'm sure many people wait in cars without being questioned about their intent. As far as the experience itself, it was good. I stuck with the Rose and White wines and you really can't go wrong with anyone of them. I also had a Fennel Salami and 2 year old Cheddar, both of which were good. I'd like to return but I'm not sure I will. I enjoyed the wines and experience itself but getting treated like some kind of criminal because I arrived early really turned me off. This place would have gotten a 4 star if it weren't for this. read more

I love bringing visitors here. Any time we have family or friends visit, we always take them here. I last visited for a friend's 30th birthday. There's an upstairs loft for parties which was really nice. Cheese boards can be ordered for parties but I do not think it was sufficient for the expected party size so I think they need to up that quantity a bit. The celestial which I believe is new is absolutely amazing. I actually need to go back and grab this to keep on hand. My first thought was "this tastes like juice," which can be dangerous and even perceived as a negative but it wasn't that sweet. It had the perfect amount of bubble to it and not like champagne at all. Not a big fan of champagne here. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more

This place is pretty neat. We sat on the back patio it was a nice place to relax, converse, and try wines. The cheeses are awesome. The wine was ok we were not really impressed with a lot of the wines. It was still a good time and relatively cheap and fun experience! read more

What a great find! We were in the area for the weekend and went in for a wine tasting. First, the setting: the tasting room is really nice with a center bar and tables set around the room and an upstairs loft with additional seating. We sat at a table in the tasting room. It was a beautiful setting for an afternoon wine tasting when it's too cold to be outside. Second, the wine: there are 4 pre-designed flights you can order that are named after Schitt's Creek characters. (You can also create your own custom flight but the Schitt's Creek flights were so fun!) My husband and I shared the Jocelyn (sweet and delightful), the Moira (all white wines), and the David (an eclectic mix) flights. We loved so many of the wines we tasted but our favorite was the 2021 Lake View White! We ended up going home with bottles of three of the wines that we tried (but got 3 bottles of the Lake View!) Finally, the staff: Everyone that we encountered at the Vineyard was so friendly and helpful, but Margaret, our server, went above and beyond. She answered all of our questions with a smile (and we had about a million) and told us all about the way the wine is made. We especially loved hearing about the Iapetus wines (the wine maker's passion project). It was an absolutely wonderful afternoon and if we're in the area again we will definitely be back! read more

A nice winery with lovely views of the vineyards. We were able to make a reservation which was really helpful. I absolutely LOVED the Schitt's Creek themed tasting flights. We tried 3 out of 4 and found a lot that we really enjoyed. Properly wined up we ordered bottles to ship home and the process was absolutely painless. There is a nice selection of gourmet chips, cheese, and charcuterie that you can purchase to make a nice picnic. I'm a big fan of the winery and highly recommend stopping by if you are a wine enthusiast. read more

Shelburne Vineyard is my favorite place. Every month the vineyard and grapes look different, and since they've acquired Eden, the variety is immense. I am a Barrel Thief which is the best deal in Chittenden county- I joined this and few other wine and food clubs (both local and National) in the beginning of the pandemic and this is the only one that I still have! I love bringing friends, colleagues and family to the vineyard, my partner and I have frequent date nights there, and everyone is so friendly and kind. I love that this place is in my part of Vermont, and I am always happy to be there. read more

Very sweet, quaint little vineyard. The workers were very sweet. My husband and I both got the tasting menu and enjoyed trying the wines. It was very reasonably priced for the pours they gave you, and you got to keep your glass at the end! I didn't love all the wines, but that's totally just a pallet thing. I wish they had their full service going but- Covid. I'd recommend going here for the experience for sure. I bet it's very pretty during the spring and summer too. read more

We made a stop here as we were checking out some local sights on our off day from snowboarding. Tasted some wines but didn't quite love the wines just yet. It's a young vineyard and still needs time. I'd revisit it again in the future but for now I'd stick to the NY wine making regions instead. read more

Are you looking for the quintessential Vermont experience - in a relaxed atmosphere? Just a small drive south from Burlington, VT - this vineyard and winery is set with a backdrop of Lake Champlain. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. For under $10 dollars you can partake in a wine tasting of up to 10 different wines (season dependent). The staff will share how each grape type is selected, how the wine is made and the flavors / profile you can expect. They also offer crackers and water between wines. Cheese trays and wine by the glass is available if you are looking to extend your afternoon. There is a covered patio which protects you from the sun, while also providing an exceptional view. Their wine selection is large enough where you have variety - but not so large where the wines lose their quality or individuality. A great stop while on a romantic getaway or to spend some quality time with friends. read more

Visiting from NYC and decided to go here for some wine tasting. I guess it wasn't the vineyards fault but my family is a fan of sweet wines and there were very few to try here. They give you plenty of different types of wine to try (10) and some pretty tasty rice crackers. The servers were very nice and informative. I believe they give free tours too but we opted out. The dessert wine was our favorite! Super sweet and yummy! They also let you keep the glass which was pretty cool. Everything cost $8 and you got the equivalent of one glass of wine. The price was fair. But I left not the slightest bit tipsy lol read more

Had a great visit to Shelburne Vineyard last week after it coming highly recommended by a friend. We had a flight of reds, followed by a glass of rosé for myself and a glass of white for my SO. All great, but we tend to favor dry reds, so our favorite was the Marquette. They seem to be pretty strict about online reservations, which is great to maintain safety for both customers and staff during this time. We really appreciated how spread out the tables were on the lawn, and that you could use a QR code to pull up the wine list. Lastly - I cannot forget to recognize the very friendly, hard-working staff! read more

I came here for an event and really enjoyed meeting one of the owners, Gail, who was super friendly and informative about the area and the vineyard itself. My favorite was the Harvest Widow's Revenge, but I also really enjoyed the Cayuga White. The Lakeview White was delicious as well (I am always trying to find sweeter wines for my mom). It's a pretty location and I intend to being back visitors in the future. I've hard that the pizzeria across the street is to die for, but it was so packed that day, we went back not Burlington. So next time, we will do pizza and wine. read more
