Cool place with some decent meads. Came in after a day of hiking in Shenandoah and it hit the spot!…read more The inside is cozy, almost like a converted house. There's a bar to order drinks from, and a large tasting room with picnic benches to sit and enjoy the mead. With all three kids in tow, we were happy to see that there were coloring books and games, so we enjoyed some checkers with the kiddos while sampling mead. Since we were visiting, we opted for flights. Nothing was bad, and a few stood out as rather enjoyable. The majority are still meads (i.e. reads like a non-sparkling wine) and lean either floral and/or fruity. There was one that had a spicy kick, which I don't usually care for in my drinks, but wife does and she liked it. We ended up buying the Sunburst Citrus and the Strawsome strawberry lemonade mead. It seems like a great place to hang with friends, family, or a date. We were leaving just as a band was setting up to play some live music for the Saturday night crowd. The lady on staff was very friendly, offered recommendations and didn't mind when the kids were kids. The pricing is fair. Worth checking out!

There is a dog that roams around and she is very sweet if you encounter her! All of the food was good and fresh. The wine flight was presented very nicely too.

The wine tasting was nice. With large parties you are given a flight to try. No need to stand in the tasting room. I liked several of the flavors. After the tasting we took a walk around the grounds taking in all the animals. Because it was winter, we didn't spend a lot of time in the lavender fields. We did however visit the lavender shop. I purchased a lavender honey spot and some delightful lemon crunch lavender ice cream. Overall staff were friendly. I would recommend this business for anyone in the area or visiting massanutten.

You really get to enjoy an immersive, interactive experience on the farm. There is something for everyone, from interactive gardens and live animals. The best for a cute little DIY wine tasting. You can bring your own charcuterie platters, which is what we did to go along with our tastings. They have tasting room called the Purple Wolf Vineyard where you can purchase your portable tastings, wine, beer and slushy flights . I would definitely return again, great place to host a cute birthday event, with your friends. They also have a really nice gift shop as well.

Started with a frose, a sparkling Costo vino and the red and reserve flights. We enjoyed them all and they paired very well with the crispy shrimp wonton and the truffle fries. The basil pesto and burrata was just ok compared to the heirloom tomato BLT and grass fed sliders which were both delicious. BLT needed a little more bacon but we were trying to share between 3 people so maybe that was the problem lol. Service was friendly and prompt. Bit of a walk from parking lot which can be a challenge since spaces are close together. We were just grateful the rain stopped before our walk over to the restaurant which is all gravel so not great for heels. Frose is a bit over priced compared to everything else but we really enjoyed our visit to this peaceful and culinary oasis.

Snow may have covered the ground, but between the stunning aesthetic, incredible wine, and delicious food, I am officially SOLD. This spot has earned a place in my top 5 wineries! From the moment we arrived, the hostess and waitstaff were attentive, welcoming, and full of recommendations. I went with a wine flight (because variety is a must!), and every pour was a hit. As for the food? We indulged in pasta, sliders, short-rib grilled cheese, truffle fries, and a charcuterie board everything was absolutely mouthwatering. We ate, we sipped, and we were very merry! I'm already counting down to a summer return so I can soak in those breathtaking mountain views from the patio.

When asked questions her response was I don't know, I don't make the wine. But on a good note, the one glass of wine we did order was actually very good! We would have done a tasting or even ordered a bottle but her attitude was such a turn off, we just finished our glass of wine and left

Every time I visit the area from out of town, I do my best to check out different Virginia wineries but am continuously drawn to DuCard. I'm not a wine connoisseur but I do raise my pinkie when raising a glass. I do my best to try as many as I can - red and white, when not having to drive, just to experience the different wines available. All have been delicious and I always walk out with a few bottles. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the ambiance is loose, open, inviting, and just a cool laid back vibe. There seems to be entertainment every time I've visited and nosh is available as well. Definitely put this place on your places to visit when in the area.

Each wine gets its own Riedel glass-no plastic cups or dumping wines from jars into one glass. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

They have a fun assortment of music on the weekends.
