    We like Starr Hill's beers. Especially the Ramble On IPA. Lots of juicy grapefruit, pineapple, and citrus notes clock in at 7% ABV. This beer is part of the regular tap list. On this visit they also had the Last Leaf Brown Ale. Not a style many are making these days and that's a miss, so hat tip to Starr Hill. This English Brown Ale made with Virginia Maple Syrup and both vanilla notes and a malty flavor. Despite the maple syrup is was not too sweet. This was a winner. While the service is very good, the tap room is nothing special. Kinda dark and like an old school college town bar on the inside. To be fair, this location is really about being a production facility. Anyway net/net like the beer, but would not go out of my way to come to this location.

    This is my local. I've tried a lot of their drinks, I'm usually an IPA guy their Northern Lights is too die for their other IPAs are good too. New beers on tap. They always have cool names for their drinks.

    Flights of beer!

    Awesome brewery! Sat with the kids and dogs outside. Awesome beer selections. Toys for kids inside. Flights of beers available.

    Beers and service are AMAZING! I great hang place and big patio, but doesn't sell food and is about 15/20 mins outside of Charlottesville!

    Got to visit the Crozet location and it's a big one with a wrap around bar, plenty of tables and a stage. There's windows for walls inside so you can see the brew making process too. Be sure to bring some food with you too much on but on certain days, they have pizza slices so be sure to look ahead on that one. Great kid friendly spot as they have a small play area with toys and crayons. Nice touch for the beer loving parents out there like us! We had their Tripel Note which is amazing at 8.5% ABV but served in a pint glass, yay! Also went home with a four pack of cans from their cooler section to enjoy later. Dog lovers can bring their fuzzy friends to the outdoor sitting area and they have water dishes for them.

    Nice brewery with a beautiful mural across the street and music inspired atmosphere. Brews had a wide range and surely would have something to please every pallet.

    It's really not far from Charlottesville. 15 minutes and you're there. All. Dry good beers. Had the sours before and they were all solid. Just had the stouts - milk coffee, raspberry, and hazelnut. All excellent. Try mixing the milk coffee and hazelnut for a real treat. Only downside is no food served or we would have drank more beer. Once in a while the food truck is there. Highly recommend if in Charlottesville, NC

    As good as it gets! I am probably the only person who LOATHES IPA's! They are sharp and bitter and I've been to several breweries in NOVA that ONLY do IPA's because they are the fastest to brew and bring to sale. But there are tons of people who don't like them. It's like medicine, avoid when you can. NOW, they offered a Stout that was chocolaty, smooth, no aftertaste and rich. PERFECT!! I got 2 COWLERS of it to take home it was that good! Thank you for remembering that most of the beer drinking world doesn't drink IPAs. Your stout was almost as good as Guinness. Guinness is a MEAL in a glass with 200 years more brewing, but you're coming up fast!! Try Pilsners, dunkles, and more! There is a WORLD of beers out there to try!! Keep up the good work!!

    Stopped here on A Friday afternoon. The place wasn't to crowded and there was plenty of parking. There was indoor and outdoor seating with a food truck outside. The place is kind of industrial with the brewery in the back. The interior had glass windows to see what the people were doing The bartender was a nice guy and quick to serve and explain the flights. We had a flight that included Jomo, warehouse, debut 11, crozet gold and sublime. Unfortunately didn't like any of them. I gave it 3 stars just because I liked the setting and maybe I can find a beer next time.

    This local craft brewery offers a solid line-up of quality beer on tap. If you ever find yourself in Charlottesville, it's worth a visit. We opted to sample a variety of different beers. The Blackthorn (Irish Export Stout) was our favorite - it's smooth with hints of espresso and chocolate and served at just the right temperature! The Jomo (Vienna Lager) is a safe and dependable choice - it's smooth, crisp, and refreshing. The Northern Lights (IPA) was reasonably good - it's a well balanced IPA with a mild level of hoppiness. I typically don't enjoy strong IPA's, so this was the perfect brew for me in the IPA style. The remainder of our rotation failed to impress. The Front Row (Golden Ale) and Warehouse (Pilsner) were too light and flavorless for my palate. The girlfriend sampled their Blueberry Hill and Lola (guava flavored) beers. Eh... the cardinal rule of beer drinking is, never fruit your beer. She enjoyed the Blueberry Hill, but not the Lola - I enjoyed neither. This is a really cool tasting room with a vibrant and relaxed vibe! Patrons receive warm and friendly service.

    Starr Hill is a nice place to visit with a friend to relax with a beer. The ambiance is warm and comfortable. The hanging lights and eclectic wall hangings set the mood to get together and enjoy each other's company. It's the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy a live band, which is usually performing to entertain the crowd. My friends and I tasted a few beers, and my personal favorite was the vanilla stout, which was dark, rich, and creamy. It was great to sip on my beer while enjoying the band's live performance. Overall, my visit to Start Hill was a good experience, and it's a nice spot to relax at the end of a long day.

    Somehow had never been to Starr Hill until now, though I had tried several of their beers and enjoyed them. We went on a Sunday afternoon, with my husband's brother and our baby in tow, arriving around 4pm, in time to catch most of the live music. All three of us got flights, and I always like the breweries that let you choose your own flight rather than having a set flight list. There were a lot of beers to choose from so it was easy to find 5 for my flight, and hard to keep it to just 5, but luckily all three of us sampled each other's choices. I enjoyed 3 out of 5 of my beers, and 2 of them were REALLY good, the SLAM! Dunkelweizen and the Rylander rye altbier. The other two beers weren't bad but I wouldn't order again, and that's just how it is everywhere, and why you get a flight to sample. The vibe was casual, family friendly and fairly intimate and the band playing was really enjoyable and just the right volume . There's outdoor seating but you're just sitting watching cars go by, which I would say is one downfall: no views. I would be more likely to revisit this brewery for the tasty beers if I also knew I could sit and enjoy the mountains (that are just behind the opposing building). Luckily there's a sweet mural on that hulk of a building, but it doesn't quite make up for feeling like you're sitting on the shoulder of the road in an industrial estate.

    I went to Starr Hill on 8/5/17 after a very full day of drinking in the area. The ambiance of this place is "industrial casual". The tasting room (bar) is a good size. I was impressed at the number of staff working (because I was there rather late in the day). Needless to say, I never felt ignored. I liked the fact that you can choose a flight from any of their beers available. I liked the beers (tried mostly IPAs) but nothing really stood out to me taste wise. Starr Hill felt a little isolated from the other breweries in the area. That being said they seem cater to people who are local and love their beer (because they were busy even late in the day). In a nutshell, I am glad I tried Starr Hill. Due to the fact, I feel like their name is always mentioned within the "craft beer scene".

If you aren't planning to pick your own fruit, this place works just fine as a store to buy fresh fruit along with tasty apple pie, peach cider, and a variety of jams and jellies. Don't forget to try their peach ice cream, that alone is worth the trip. There's plenty of seating outside so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. This place worth a stop if you're in the area but if you want to pick your own fruit check in advance what's available so you can know if they'll have it when you want to stop by.

    A friend and I visited last weekend after I had gone online and seen that you could pick your own…read moreberries. When we got there, we learned that nothing was available to be picked except for flowers which were way overpriced at $20 for 15 stems. So we walked around and looked at what they had to offer in their store. They had some peaches and nectarines to taste and I'm glad that we ended up not picking them because the white peaches had no flavor and the regular peaches were so tart. We did get to taste some of the other items they have for sale and I ended up buying a jar of peach salsa, which was sweet and spicy. Unfortunately they ended up double charging me for the one jar of peach salsa (the cashier made me scan my card twice because she said the first transaction didn't go through) and my credit card company reached out to me to ask if I had made both purchases. The saving grace for our hour and a half trip was their ice cream. They had some delicious peach flavored soft serve. I understand that picking fruits is seasonal, but for people like me who don't live nearby and check the website before making a long drive out, it would be great to make sure that the information posted is accurate.

    On my way to check out the nearby orchard, I spotted this winery, and decided to stop in after…read moredoing some apple picking. I'm really glad I did. The site is gorgeous, and the wine was good. First off, this is the only area winery that I know of that is adults only -- no, you can not bring your kids. Honestly, I'm not sure when going to drink at a winery or brewery became a "family" activity, and huge, huge kudos to Septenary for keeping the demonspawn out. I can't tell you the number of times (at other wineries), I've watched Mom and Dad hop out of the car, drink a few glasses, and pop back in with little Timmy, Billy, and Sally... that's just such an irresponsible thing to do with your kids. Add to that, 98% of the time, kids wind up bored and screaming and ruining the experience for everyone else? Yes, please leave your kids at home. Trust me, it's better for them and everyone else if they don't go from winery to winery with you. Also, as another big YAY to them, they don't allow smoking, including your trendy "e" cig. My lungs thank them for this policy almost as much as my ears thank them for the no kids policy. There's a lot of parking, and you'll wander up and see a beautiful infinity pool around the outdoor seating area. There's a lot of outdoor seating, but it was fr-fr-freezing, so we opted to sit inside. The inside area is almost as gorgeous as the views outside. There's an upstairs area that is breathtaking, but it's apparently for club members only. They don't really do a traditional tasting. You can order a half-glass of any wine, which is about $5-8, depending on wine. They recommend you do five, but you can try as many or as few as you want -- we went with just four. It's a serious half glass, which is a pretty generous tasting, intended to be split between two. The wines are self described as dry, and they are. That works really well for some types, though one or two weren't to my tastes. However, I absolutely needed to get a bottle or ... more ... of the various reds. I didn't see or don't recall seeing any food when we went, but they do have some picnic basket options during warmer times.

The grounds were gorgeous, and I could see myself spending a lot of time hearing nestled under the trees. The first thing we noticed is that instead of tasting at a long bar, we were invited to choose a table and be served by a member of staff. And, instead of a set tasting list, you can pick and choose what you want among the offerings to build your own (see photo). The Viognier was a stand out, very creamy and soft. I also enjoyed the red blends, especially the Springhouse Red. We will be back!
