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

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

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

Shelburne Vineyard - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Shelburne, Vermont

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

Shelburne Vineyard - Wine flight - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Shelburne, Vermont

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

Shelburne Vineyard - Tasting flight of 4 reds - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Shelburne, Vermont

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

We always make a stop at the Shelburne Vineyards when we are in the Burlington area. They have great wines, a great staff and comfortable location. read more

Am incredible vineyard! I did the tasting with my mom, aunts, and grandmother and we had a blast! The woman doing our tasting was perfect, she was knowledgeable and answered all our questions but she also didn't rush us and was generous with the pours. I'd recommend this vineyard to anyone who likes wine! You can also buy it by the glass or bottle. There's a parking lot, it's easy to find, and you can get great pizza across the street! read more

Very disappointing customer service! I wanted to take my husband for a surprise tour and confirmed it with the owner, Ken, in the morning. This phone call was to plan out the logistics since we would be an hour's drive away. He mentioned that the tours are through 1-4 PM, one at every hour. When we arrived, one of the staff members (won't mention her name), very rudely approached us and said "we are understaffed so we can't spare anyone! The person who confirmed with you isn't here". We had traveled for an hour, and between so many vineyards in Vermont, we picked this one to tour. So while we completely understand the understaffing problem, the least we would expect is some courtesy or at least an apology. The wine was very good, but they could certainly work on communication amongst themselves and the customer service skills to make the customer's experiences more pleasant. read more

The wines were very good, particularly for being in a region not typically known for wine. Unfortunately, one of the girls working the tasting was sarcastic and rude and it put a damper on our visit. We felt like we were bothering her by doing a tasting and when I commented that I really enjoyed a particular wine, she rolled her eyes at me and sarcastically said "glad we were able to surprise you". Luckily there were two behind the bar and the second was much more friendly, though not exceptionally knowledgeable. I asked how many varieties of grapes they grew and she immediately answered that she didn't know. Seems like a basic piece of information to know about the vineyard you are working at. She made no effort to try and find an answer to my question. Wine is definitely a 4 star. Service was a 2 star at best. Hence the 3 start average review. FYI - The tasting room is not dog friendly, which in my experience with vineyards, is somewhat unusually - even more so considering this is VT, but fine - owners are free to make their own rules. Problem was that we weren't able to do a tasting on the patio area outside, which was dog friendly, because they stop doing outside tastings 1 hour before close. For those who like to travel with their dogs, this is useful information. And by the way, we always send one person in to check on the "dog friendly" status, while the other waits outside with the dog for confirmation it is OK, so I don't believe the service above was because we had our dog with us. We asked, they said no, so we left him in the car (it was a cool day). read more

Visited today for the first time and really enjoyed ourselves. My grandfather and I sat outside, with the staff member Olivia helping us. You can bring outside food so we made a little picnic. We both enjoyed flights which were delicious and very well priced. Everyone was super helpful and accommodating. We will absolutely be back. Thank you! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE! It was pretty busy but we were helped immediately! We sat outside and ordered a wine and cheese pairing and the choices were amazing! We went back inside and bought a bottle of my favorite from the tasting. The highlight was the three legged dog that greeted you as you got out of your car then went on the tours!!!! read more

We enjoyed the wine selection for the tastings. We are visiting from Wisconsin and are growing the same varietals. Cheers

This is a beautiful spot to stop when you're in the area. Great views, friendly staff, and a fun wine tasting experience. Vermont is not known for its wine for sure, but this is the best in the area by a long shot. I really enjoy their Rose (even the Rose in a can!) and their dry whites. It's so fun to have a winery nearby and enjoy that tasting or flight experience. Highly recommend. read more

Out of the four vineyards we visited on our recent vacation this was the best by far. They had a larger selection, a nice tasting area, very knowledgeable staff and the wines were just better than the rest. There is a small fee for tastings, but you get to keep the glass and choose 7 (if I remember correctly) wines to sample. I recommend checking them out if you are in the area. read more

Had a great wine tasting experience here. It was pretty empty and the guy behind the bar was a diamond. Cool dude to talk to, great recommendations and the wine was excellent. Also they have a really sweet dog! read more

Was excited to try out Shelburne Vineyard as I have driven past many times but never had time to stop in. Since I don't know much about wine I asked the girl working there for some recommendations. She just have me an informational sheet with a list of each wine and told me to read them and then choose one. Gee, thanks for your help here. I must have been imposing on her time as she was deep in conversation with a friend. I ended up doing my best to choose a wine and while ordering it mentioned that I was just guessing and that I had no idea what I was doing. Huge eye roll from both her and her friend. Don't think I could recommend this place to others after an experience like that. read more

Shelburne Vineyard holds a special place in my heart. I visited the vineyard in September while on my first trip to VT with a couple of friends. Despite the rainy weather, my friends and I decided to try go wine tasting and we could not have found a cuter place with better wine! The wine-tasking is done in an "island-style bar" where people gather around and the instructor speaks about the wine and she pours it. It is an informal wine-tasting in the sense that you're not in a private room. In fact the tasting bar is part of the beautiful and open lobby with huge windows and glass doors that look out to the vineyards. Since it was raining when we went, we were unable to do the whole tour, but I'm sure it's fabulous! And the wine... how could I forget the wine?? Most of their wine selections were excellent. My absolute favorite is "Lake View." It is a white semi-dry wine with a nice aroma and perfect to drink alone or with food. Their wines range from $12 to $25, and they ship all over the country. They use mostly their own grapes, but also import grapes from Long Island and other NY vineyards. If you're ever in Burlington, VT area, you must check out Shelburne Vineyard!! ...and take a case or 2 home. read more

This is a great Vineyard to go to if you're in the area. We did the wine tasting, which we enjoyed as a group, and it was beautiful to do this during the fall. The glasses they let you keep are pretty nice also. The wines were delicious, but the samples are pretty small. They offer a short tour of the winery which is interesting, and very informative. It's a great way to spend a few hours outside. Across the street, they have Fiddlesticks brewery and a delicious pizza place, which makes for a great day. They also have weddings at the winery. read more

I took a mini trip this weekend to Burlington Vermont and me and group of friends decided to go wine tasting at this vineyard. I was very disappointed in the service that I received. We made reservations for 430pm and when we got there we were seated outside in a table that was at an angle, the cups and glasses kept sliding off the table. The server took 30 mins to actually take our order cause the server kept forgetting her pen. There was one server attending to everyone outside which probably explained the wait. When she did take our order she told us the cheeseboards were sold out but she could offer us some cheese and crackers. The cheese and crackers that were offer were not appetizing. We were not informed of the price of the cheese and crackers that the server gave us and the bill was slightly high at the end of our tasting. Overall the experience was disappointing. read more

We were so excited to get married at Shelburne Vineyard. It started off well with the original event manager however unfortunately, when she left, we were not made aware of this. There wasn't a transitional email or phone call from anyone at the vineyard to let us know where to send questions or who our vendor's new point of contact would be. We started to get nervous as our messages to Taylor (the old event planner) went unanswered. Eventually once we reached out to the main email connected to the vineyard we heard from Sarah Travelpiece. Sarah did not introduce herself so we were not sure if she was an existing staff member or the new event coordinator. We did ask her who she was in a follow-up email and she then informed us to contact her moving forward and that Taylor's emails were often missed and sent to her junk mail. Additionally, a month prior to our wedding she sent us an email that was curt and very confusing about our duties as renters of the venue. This was after we had to put her and VT Tent Company on an email together because she hadn't been responding to the agent who had called several times. We thought this might have been a hiccup in the passing of responsibilities from Taylor to Sarah so we excused it. However, again FIVE DAYS before our wedding Pizzeria Verita and VT Tent Company separately reached out to us letting us know they had both called and emailed Sarah to no avail. We were told told us she had a family emergency which is why she had not been responsive. We thought that if this was the case someone from the vineyard would have stepped in on her behalf given an upcoming wedding was a week or less away. This was extremely stressful. When we arrived at 5PM on the day of our wedding we were surprised that while we were going to pay an extra 1000 to rent the venue 30 minutes early (at 5 instead of 5:30) there were still patrons being serviced until 5:30p This was difficult as both were drinking, not ready to leave, and we felt we were intruding on their evening while also knowing we needed to set up the centerpieces, dancefloor, rearrange tables, etcetera. The event coordinator was I helped up. She and the staff did very little to assist in the set-up process. While our wedding party set up the area the staff members were seen drinking wine behind the bar, texting on their phones, and talking amongst themselves and at no time did they ask if they could assist. At the end of the night our caterer gave the staff pizza to be stored for us and this was not given to us and we were not told about it until our vendors followed up with us when asking for feedback. We found all of this very unprofessional and the lack of support from the vineyard disheartening. We reached out to the owners several times and they also did not reply. This was all very upsetting. While the venue is beautiful I would not recommend this place due to the lack of management, organization and professionalism. read more

We stopped at this winery on our way back home from a business trip to Burlington. They have many good wines. They have a Cayuga white made from grapes right from the Finger Lakes region here in New York State. They mentioned that they can't grow the Cayuga grapes there in Vermont because the vines cant withstand the colder winter temperatures at the higher elevation there. read more

Great selection of wine for the wine tasting. There was even 2 additional tastings that were optional. Before each pour, the host would describe what and where the wine can from. I end up buying a bottle of the dessert wine for the description and the taste. read more

Great experience. We had a 12:30 reservation and needed to push it back due to weather. It was a little challenging to get through to someone off hours, but as soon as we did, they were very accommodating. It was our first wine tasting and the hostess/waitress helped us navigate and gave us excellent suggestions. The wines were good, cider was superb. The cheddar, of course, was outstanding. It was very relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come back if we visit Vermont again. read more

Shelburne Vineyards was a great stop while exploring around Burlington. The vineyard is only a few minutes drive from the downtown area and right down the road from Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. We came for a tasting and enjoyed a glass overlooking their beautiful property. One unique thing was their rose wine- it's the first to come in a can! read more

My husband and I visit Vermont once a year and stopping by Shelburne Vineyard is a must ! The first time we came we did a standard tasting and everyone was so sweet and accommodating. The winery sits on a beautiful, well-kept property and If the weather is nice I highly suggest sitting on their patio. We most recently went this past June and the staff did an excellent job at keeping everything clean and sanitized with everything going on. I haven't tried I wine I disliked from the vineyard, but my favorite is their Iapetus collection! So happy they ship to PA because now I can have my favorites year round. read more

Would not recommend. Cheap pours, lame cheese. We were told the wine in the cheese pairing equates to 2 glasses - there is no way it was 2 glasses. Maybe 1. There are way too many other wineries in the area to waste your time here. read more

Wonderful experience. Great spot for a date or gathering with friends. Beautiful views, excellent service and great selection of wines!

Stopped in for a quick wine tasting. Multiple open tables and only 3 people at the bar - multiple empty stools. Hostess said we needed a reservation but suggested we buy a bottle and take it home. Wth?? You won't allow us to sample your wine at your empty bar but expect we'd want to buy a bottle. Uh, no thanks. The lovely winery just down the road was very accommodating so we're actually glad this place was 'too busy' read more

Decided to come here today for Mother's Day today. We got flights of wine. They don't have any beer here anymore (they used to carry fiddlehead, I believe) so my step father didn't drink anything. After getting our flights, our server didn't come back for 15 minutes or greater. It looked like there were too many tables sat outside for the number of servers that were working. I ended up paying and leaving when I really wanted to hang out and get at least two bottle of wine. Our service definitely could've been better. Our server was wearing a Stone Corral shirt which I thought was odd. read more

Charming winery in beautiful Shelburne, Vermont. I would highly recommend the tasting to get a better understanding of the vineyards' offerings. Wines available are listed on their seasonal wine menu which offered a variety of reds, whites, meads, and ciders. Most wines are made exclusively from the grapes on site, but there are some that are blends as well. The servers are all very educated about their wines and offer wine crackers to cleanse the palate before moving on to the next tasting. When finished, you keep your sample glasses as souvenirs (our cupboards boast a relatively good stock). Also ask about the wine facility tour to get a more intimate understanding of the wine making process. The vineyard itself is beautiful and they do weddings and other events on site. I went this past week to their Wine and Food festival which was fantastic, offering many established and emerging local food artisans, and benefitted the Vermont Food Shelf. Keep your eyes peeled for further events here, you won't want to miss them. read more

$7 for 10 tastings - what a deal! The wines, which were mostly white, were all pretty tasty, but our favorite was the reserve red. It's aged in oak, which I'm a fan of. The tasting room staff were extremely friendly and knowledgable about the wine. I saw a sign about live music too, which would be great on the patio or the lofted area above the tasting room. read more

Usually love this place but you need to be very, very patient. Today was a disappointment and left with a sad feeling about our experience. Took almost 20-25 minutes to get our order placed and then waited another 20 or so minutes for our cheese and meat tray which wound up being completely wrong. Reluctantly we said ok to the wrong order after it seemed to be "complicated" to the server who was kinda out of it - sorry to say. My husband saw our original server on his way to the restroom and politely mentioned our order wasn't correct and she insisted on bringing out the correct order which was nice but when she brought it she kind of just dropped it on your table and left like she was annoyed. Geez!!! The second server was surprised we got the corrected order and said "Well you've already eaten some of the other order" and I said well if you need to charge us for two that's fine...it was a really awkward conversation. Honestly we were trying to have a relaxing low stress time but the servers were just so tense and irritated that it made for an unpleasant experience overall. In the long run they should have just said oh sorry for the wrong order and bring out the new one (as they did) BUT without the extreme attitude. For a few dollars of inconvenience on their part they have given us a bad experience to share with friends and I'm not too interested in visiting any time soon. So sad. read more

We're big beer drinkers and beer was our main focus on our trip up to VT. However, when we found out that there was a smile winery outside of Burlington's center we had to go. We've lived in Virginia's wine country and gone on numerous tastings on Long Island, NY. I have to say, Shelburne's VT wine can definitely compete. There weren't as many wine options as we're used to, but the Cayuga and Lake View White were excellent. Many of their wines have been the recipients of big awards and I have to say they are well-deserved. The tasting room was beautiful and homey. Very classy, clean atmosphere. Ashley was our wine tour guide and we both agreed she was excellent! She was inviting and friendly. She gave expert advice on each wine during the tasting--i.e. What food would go well with each, how the wines were formed, etc. She answered all of our questions and offered more information than expected. Great guide! Whether you're up in VT in the Winter, Fall, or Summer, this winery is worth a look! We'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped in Saturday for a tasting. Two people were behind the counter. The female was attentively interacting with another couple with their wine tasting. The male behind the counter totally ignored us. Even when I put the money on the counter for a tasting. Can't really recommend the wines because I never tasted them. I don't understand why we were never acknowledged or spoken to but I will never be back. BTW we received excellent service at the fiddlehead across the road and bought several growlers. That is the better place to visit. read more

We stopped by the Shelburn Vineyard, after visiting the Shelburne Farms. We were the farm and the vineyard are not related. They are just located fairly close to each other and definitely drop by if you have some time, after visiting the farm. The staff were friendly and we shared a tasting of 10 wines for $7 with a wine glass to take home with us. We bought the 2013 Marquette and 2014 Duet Ice, we enjoyed them very much and will recommend this winery as one of the to do things in this area. read more

My wife and I came here for a tour as part of our second "expedition"to Vermont. We loved the barn that this vineyard was in.
