Tasting was only $7 for a good amount of different wines. The bartender was very knowledgeable in the types of wine and answered any questions we had. We ended buying 6 bottles of wine, which they offered a discount on the purchase of 6 or more. Would definitely add this to the list of attractions to visit while in VT! read more

We arrived just past 4 pm and were looking to taste some of the wines; the employee present told us that since it had been slow, they had "already put away most of the bar stuff" but there were 6 open bottles of wine (both red and white) on the counter. Their website says "Our Tasting Room is open 7 days a week, all year. 11:00 am - 5:00 pm November through April" so this was just poor customer service and laziness oh her part. The employee was fake-sweet to the point where she was just plain rude. Having said that, the wine is alright. read more

I attended an event held by my best friend here and the organization and professionalism by the staff was exceptional. They were extremely helpful during the entire process of setting up and serving. They were very personable and down-to-earth yet at the same time knew how to conduct themselves in a professional manner. The wine tasting was fabulous. The wine bar staff were spot-on when it came to knowledge of each wine they sampled for us yet were not matter-of-fact which is normally something I would expect from a place like this. Great experience, great people. read more

After reading the other reviews, I'm bummed that my friends and I had such a bad experience here. We traveled here in April 2011. I know the vineyards weren't exactly blooming, but we at least wanted to see inside and taste some wine. We arrived during their business hours, but received awful customer service. The woman behind the counter saw us walk in, but didn't greet us until we were standing at the counter for a few seconds. She was very matter of the fact and acted as though we were bothering her. There was six of us and we were the only ones there. I asked about a tour and she said there were no tours..... ok that's interesting because it says open year round. We were there on a Friday afternoon. So then I asked about wine tasting. She said we could purchase a glass of wine, but that's it. No option to get samples of different wines, just to buy glasses of them for $6 each. Well we decided we could do that at any restaurant and with no tour, we left. It's just that she was so unfriendly and literally acted like we were a burden.... we were just trying to give her business. I am even more dissatisfied knowing that others had great experiences and were able to taste their wines and receive a souvenir glass for $5. I would definitely never recommend this place. We were on a road trip and went a bit of a ways off our journey because we had read about this place and wanted to check it out. Very, very disappointing and a big waste of time. read more

Worth a stop for a quick "10 wines for $7" tasting if you're in the area- nothing too fancy, just some solid, local wines to try. The purveyor was very sweet and patient with us, and I found their wines to be pretty tasty (we bought a bottle of the Porch Rocker to take home, although there were 2 or 3 others I was seriously considering as well). Would be great to sit outside here on a summers day with a nice glass of white, taking in the beautiful scenery. read more

I guess it all depends on what you compare it with. I live in wine country so my bar is set very high.

Great place! The staff was very nice, gave us a little tour and answered all our questions. The wine tasting was great We especially liked their sparkling wine, bought some bottles of that to take home. The reds are nice too, perfect for souvenirs. read more

Wine was ok. The place was fairly crowded. 90% of their outdoor seating is in the direct sun with no umbrellas so we were stuck inside with everyone else who did not want to get burned. I didn't get that I'm at a vineyard vibe, couldn't really relax. Saving grace was that we were across the street from Fiddlehead so moved over there quickly. read more

Giving this two stars because I enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting and the building itself is gorgeous. Here is why I will not give it a higher rating than that: I read other reviews on here before coming and was hesitant to drive the half hour because the most recent reviews were saying how rude the staff was. We gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking people were just being nit picky. Unfortunately the reviews were right. The woman that helped us when we first walked in was semi friendly but you could tell it was very forced and she did not want to help us so that immediately made us feel unwelcome. When paying for our bill when we were done with the tasting we mentioned that we also wanted to do the free tour, the girl that checked us out was very rude and said "well let me see if we are even doing a tour." Even though we asked the staff when we first came in and they said they would be doing one. Not to mention the website advertises it. We ended up doing the tour which was quick and the guide was nice however we did not receive a complimentary glass which is also advertised on the website. Two stars is only really for the wine and cheese, everything else is left to be desired. Never felt so unwelcome by staff members, wouldn't recommend. read more

We stopped in while visiting the Burlington area while on a long weekend trip and were pleasantly surprised! While Vermont doesn't strike you as a grape growing region, they do pretty well! Some grapes are imported, but many are grown locally as well. The wines were overall very good. I especially liked the reserve Marquette and we took a bottle home with us as well. The tasting room was pretty- quaint yet spacious with some lovely paintings on the walls. I really enjoyed our visit. I'm sure it would be even more lovely in the summertime. read more

This place was AWESOME!!!! Lazarus (I believe that was his name and if I spelled it wrong I'm sorry ) was the Best! We had a great time and will definitely be back. The Untamed wine was the best! Definitely my favorite. read more

What a nice surprise! I drag my wonderful boyfriend to wineries all over VA and MD. He's always a good sport, too. The tasting fee is very generous ($5 for 8 tastes). I like whites, but the reds were very nice (from what my BF shared with me). To my surprise, he selected a white for his glass. We liked a few of them but bought the Lakeview. Our pourer was friendly. The view was wonderful and the tasting room is very roomy. They do get a little busy, so you have to wave them down to checkout. Very surprised to taste such yummy wines in VT. Never knew about about VT wine! read more

Small sampling room, but super friendly and helpful staff. The wines were great...especially the ice wines! We had two toddlers with us, and they were patient and gave us crayons and coloring books to keep the kiddos entertained. read more

This place is so cute, tasting is great. I wish they added more appetizers to go with the wines, but overall I like going there. Make it a good trip and go to Folinos afterwards, right across the street. read more

I got married at Shelburne Vineyard in September, and it was a wonderful experience! It's a great place for a small, intimate ceremony. The staff happily attended to our every need. I highly recommend it as an event venue. As far as the wine goes, I must admit that I didn't have very high expectations for Vermont wine, but I was truly impressed! The Cayuga white is especially good--crisp and clean with a lot character. And great for calming the nerves before your wedding ceremony! Stop in and visit these folks the first chance you get! read more

We just had my niece's bridal shower this past weekend at the vineyard. It was so much fun and such a beautiful place to celebrate a wonderful event. All the staff was wonderful to work with but a special shout out to Sam and Taylor. They were such a great help with all the preparation and handling a very loud group of women. Taylor even did a wine tasting above all our voices. It was so such a wonderful experience. read more

I am not one to write reviews however my experience today at this winery definitely warrants one. I came here this afternoon with seven other girls as part of a bachelorette party. It was our first stop, and we were excited and eager to taste some wine and check out the vineyard. Unfortunately, we left after feeling upset over the lack of customer service we received. When we initially got there, we were greeted by a friendlier woman who got us tasting menus and told us another staff member by the name of Tori would be right with us. Then another woman came up to us, and when one of the girls in my party told her we were waiting for Tori, she rudely responded "Tori isn't here". She seemed annoyed with us from the get go. She asked us to divide up as we could not be on the same side of the bar for some reason. She went on to tell us that tastings are $9, but because we're a large group, they would be $12. She then proceeded to call out two members of the group for "not listening" which made them feel very uncomfortable for the remainder of the tasting. We didn't get any bottles to enjoy there as we were pretty annoyed at the lack of customer service and professionalism and didn't want to linger much longer. When checking out, each of us got charged $15 for the tasting. So how we went from $9 to $12 to $15 is still a mystery to me, and way too expensive...I don't know any other wineries around here that would charge that much for one tasting. She didn't even print receipts for us. Long story short...extremely disappointing. I have been here before multiple times in the past with no issues. I probably won't be returning and will certainly not recommend to others, especially if they're looking to come in a "large" group as it was clear we were a bother to this particular staff member. read more

I came here about a month ago and did a wine tasting it was a lot of fun and the staff was nice!

Cute vineyard. Came here mid-October for a tasting. Opted for the cheese and wine pairing. We sat outside on the patio as it was on the warmer side for that time of year. Wine was ok, but we don't drink too much "fancy" wine. Staff was friendly. read more

Wanted to do a tasting and buy a couple of bottles, but stood at the bar for 25 minutes and no one would help us. Left to go to Fiddlehead and got growlers there... went back into try again for a tasting, and was rudely l told that they weren't doing tastings anymore... needless to say I didn't purchase any of their products read more

The wines were very good. The tasting room is in a nice location and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The dessert wine was extremely delicious but pricey. Tasting fee is $7 and includes a keepsake wine glass. It is not waived if you purchase multiple bottles of wine. read more
