The marketplace had such great gifts and goodies. We had a great time shopping here. The cutest farmhouse ambience. We also got a few little chocolates from the case, which were fantastic. Next time we look forward to trying the coffees, which looked and smelled amazing.

We visited Iron Heart Winery and had the most amazing experience!…read more Our beautiful hostess Deidra, poured some outstanding bourbon and several excellent wines during our tasting. She shared so many fascinating details about the winery, as well The Salty Stash Distillery located about 20 minutes away. We spent the day surrounded by the stunning scenery of beautiful Virginia and loved hearing about the history of both establishments. My only disappointment of the day was they were out of merchandise featuring the Iron Heart logo which I'm absolutely obsessed with! The Salty Stash logo is pretty cool too; we learned it's designed as half the owner, Adam's face, and half of his late father's which makes it all the more meaningful. If you're ever in the area, Iron Heart Winery is a MUST! You won't be disappointed! We will be back every year! Shout out to Jazzie as well who wasn't our hostess but was so much fun and made our day enjoyable. My apologies for any misspelled names. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!

There was ample seating outside the checkout area; about half the seats and tables were under a covered, very large screened porch, the other half is out in the sun with large umbrellas to provide shade. The vineyard itself is small but the view is pretty and the wine we had was very good. The staff were all helpful and friendly. They have one bathroom available to customers but it was very clean, well-stocked with supplies, and the water was hot with good pressure (which is important for hand cleanliness). This trip was a 5 hour drive from where we live, so if we come back again, it would be for another family reunion. But, if you're local or a short drive away, it's definitely worth checking it out.

So I was a little unsure whether the wine selection at Beliveau Farm Winery would be for me. But I'm happy to say that these guys are making some great wine. Yvan and Joyce, the owners, know what they are doing in terms of grapes and wine, because they have traveled and enjoyed wine from all around the world. They have a good thing going on here. When I visited, I did a wine tasting, which was paired with different flavored potato chips. So I got to taste several different wines. I'm more of a red wine gal, but one of my favorites at Beliveau is the Crazy Professor, which is a white wine blend: Vidal Blanc, Chardonel, Pinot Gris. They also have a tasty Cab Franc (one of my favorites, too), and another Crazy Professor wine, but this one is a red called The Professor's Crazy Estate Blend, which is Cab Franc, Syrah, Merlot and Tempranillo. Almost all of my favorites in one bottle! So, yes, you will find some great Virginia wines here. You can enjoy a glass indoors or outdoors. I hope you sit outdoors, though, because the grounds are beautiful and expansive. This place is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, too. There's lots of open space for kids to run around, and some big rocks for them to climb on.

Couldn't ask for a more perfect weekend and remember, Life is to short to drink bad wine. Cheers to JBR Winery for a great time.

I know basic rule of thumb is red wine for meat and white wine for chicken, but I prefer red to white wines and JBR's Springdale Vineyard Vintage-Pinot Noir from Virginia was just the right balance of fruity sweetness to enjoy with my chicken dinner. My guests raised their glasses in agreement.

Davis is a winery/distillery combo. One side of the massive building is a small wine tasting room,…read morewhile the other side offers a distillery tasting. The middle is a warehouse. Davis has 45 acres of vines - which is actually a huge planting. They seem to specialize in Chambourcin and other hybrid grapes, like Steuben, Marshal Foch, as well as some Pinot Noir (which grows decently in the area) and Chardonnay. Prices were very reasonable, although they tended to serve sweet and semi sweet styles, which isn't my thing The wine was OK, but I LOVED the distillery. I had a very brief, off-the-cuff tour, followed by a tasting. The maple bourbon was excellent and lives up to its name (I bought a bottle). But I also liked their moonshines, especially the apple. The 'heritage' bourbon was spicy, which was interesting but not for me.

Stopped at Davis Valley Winery/Distillery on our way to Tennessee and we were very disappointed…read more Walked in and waited in the lobby area for 5 minutes with another lady until a staff member came to the tasting area. We were told we could select 3 wines to sample. What they didn't explain was that my husband and I were to share those samples...we weren't allowed to each select 3. The staff member stood in silence as we sampled the wines, offering no information on what we were sampling. Very awkward and rude. Neither of us cared for the wines we selected. The distillery staff member was a slight improvement over the winery tasting, but not enough to save the rating. He was friendly enough, but didn't care for the spirits either. I wouldn't recommend to someone traveling through.

When we left around 1:15 pm, only five other customers were there. The food was horrible, not one person in our group liked their food! I ordered a salad ($26) and chose to add steak as my protein. When my order came, it was totally wrong! It was a well done steak (ordered medium rare) with side of broccolini and fries. I ate one bite of the tough steak ($40) and decided not to eat anymore. I did eat the sides and found them to be average. When asked if I'd like a box to put my leftovers in, I declined. Others in the group ordered shrimp and grits, salmon, and chicken. The shrimp and grits were very runny, the chicken dish was too spicy and the salmon was undercooked. Needless to say, looking at their most current Health sanitation ratings for 2024 was an 80, and 2025 shows an 85. The buildings and grounds showed signs of neglect as well.
