I've been coming to SummerWind Winery for over three years and am proud to be a wine club member. What keeps me coming back isn't just the wine (although the Verdant is my absolute favorite!)--it's the people. The owners are incredibly involved and take the time to get to know their guests. They're welcoming, laid-back, and the kind of people you can laugh and joke around with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over the years, I've gotten to know many of the regulars by name, and SummerWind truly feels more like a community than a winery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My girlfriends and I never miss bingo night. We love the atmosphere, the people, and spending the evening enjoying great food and wine together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prizes are fun too--if you're lucky enough to win! Whether it's a glass of wine, food, or the infamous carafe of sangria, it always adds to the excitement. The food is excellent, especially the fig and goat cheese board. They also offer seasonal menu items that are always worth trying, which keeps every visit interesting. If you're looking for amazing wine, delicious food, fun events, and genuinely wonderful people, SummerWind Winery is a place you'll want to visit again and again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's one of those rare places where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in and leave looking forward to your next visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cheers to the SummerWind family! read more

My first-ever winery visit was to Summer Wind Winery, and it was everything I hoped it would be. I've always wanted to do something like this, and when my relatives came to town looking for something chill but vibey, my Uncle Daryl found the perfect spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even the ride there set the tone it was scenic & peaceful, and full of wide-open fields that felt like a refreshing change.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was the kind of drive that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once we arrived, the winery itself was stunning bold, beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The wine selection was impressive, and I loved getting to explore different flavors. I figured out which wines I enjoy most, which ones aren't for me, and felt like I had a truly immersive first-time tasting experience. The staff at Summer Wind were amazing knowledgeable, friendly, and patient in answering my questions. Although I didn't get to order food this time, I saw plates coming out of the kitchen that looked absolutely delicious, so that's definitely on my list for next visit. I enjoyed myself so much that I'd love to make this a yearly tradition around this time of year. Summer Wind Winery gave me not just great wine, but a great memory, and I'll absolutely be back. read more

Very charming family owned business! My employees greeted us warmly and continued to display the same attentiveness throughout our dine in. We had their blackberry pear sangria and it was delicious! We also ordered their mozzarella caprese charcuterie board and everything was fresh and beautifully plated. If I lived closer I could see myself regularly visiting. It's worth stopping by! read more

What a cute little winery! Headed here on a misty Saturday and can't wait to go on a sunny day to hang out on their large patio or greasy area overlooking the pond! Inside is quaint with a large enclosed porch with seating for about 20. Then the wine bar area has a table for about 8 and a few chairs. The staff was friendly and helpful with first timers and I ended up doing a flight-5 samples for $16-very reasonable. I enjoyed trying a variety of their wines. Husband enjoys glass, which you can buy by either a smaller pour or a large pour. We had already eaten but their food menu looked good and look forward to going back to try some of those. They have monthly events and an overall chill feel. Will be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped at this winery while exploring Smithfield. It's small and quaint, gives a county back yard vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tabla inside, but a sprawling space with benches and stool outside in the lawn.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was live music, and they were dog-friendly - both are a huge plus in my book![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got one white/rose wine tasting and one red wine tasting - they were ok. But their ginger pear sangria was very tasty. We also tried their fig, pistachio, honey goat cheese with baguette, which was amazing! The season flatbread was just meh. All the staff were super friendly and helpful! We would definitely come back here when we're in the area again. read more

We absolutely love summerwind! We went on a rainy day and still had a great experience. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable on their different wines. Our favorite was their sangria that they home make using different fruits each week. The environment is great and we would love to go on a sunny day - they have outdoor picnic tables and cornhole. We also got a bread board which isn't pictured but was great! read more

Sangria was delicious but the staff were rude a good majority of time we were there. Very ish experience for my first time

Fun afternoon sitting by the fire wine tasting, charcuterie and enjoying the view. You select the wines you want to taste, build your own charcuterie board then sit back and enjoy. read more

My gal friends and I had a really lovely time here. We arrived shortly after they opened at noon on a Saturday. We were given menus and got to picking our wines. They have 10 or so wines total and you can inexpensively get a 5-flight of 2oz pours. Staff was great throughout and brought up napkins, little plates, serving spoons, and set up our tabs easily. It was super easy to order and pay and add stuff. The food was amazing!! The house turned winery is pretty and everything was clean and organized. There's only 1 bathroom, so you might have a wait on a busy day. The gingerbread cookie pretzels were so good. The pretzels come out warm and taste really good with the cookie bits and icing drizzle. Goes with a couple of their sweet wines. The not your aunt's fruitcake brie platter was the most interesting as it was covered in figs and dates and such with drizzle all over. It tasted amazing with red wines and good alone. The smoked salmon platter was lighter than I expected. The salmon was served cool and wasn't that Smokey. While I personally didn't like the onions, the rest all went together well. It paired ok with the reds. The burrata winter pear platter was a nice dessert, though the caramel quickly became glue. It was hard to scoop onto anything and was very sweet with the soft pears. It goes with the sweet white and the rose. I made my own charcuterie with salami, olives, sun dried tomatoes, and pimento cheese. This was SO good with the wine! They evidently recently spiced up the pimento and the oil dressing was bit spicy too. I thought the salami was a little fatty, I would have preferred a hard salami. The olives had the pits in them. read more

What a picturesque view from this winery! The sangria was actually one of the best I've had. We did their flight with a mix of white and reds and I loved them all. Choose your own boards with lots to choose from which was amazing ! Already planning our next gathering with my wine loving crew read more

This place is amazing! Cozy, warm staff, wines are on the drier side which I love. Try a flight, won't be disappointed with the distinct characters each of their wines has to offer. Charcuterie boards.. yum! Fire pits fire for hanging outside in the colder days. Nice view of water and marsh land. Finish your experience with succulent mulled wine. read more

The food and wine was filling and it was so chill. I definitely recommend for girls day, date night and special days.

Great venue. Good food and great staff. Nice place to hangout, listen to some music and sip wine!

This was an amazing small winery! The food selection was so tasty and the wine was great. I highly recommend the apple cider sangria, it was by far my favorite! The vineyard is perfect for social distancing, there are a few tables inside the small house, but I suggest bringing your own chairs and finding a spot in the field! The views are beautiful, highly recommend for a family or gathering of friends. read more

Great spot to try wines! My friends and I tried two flights so that we could try one of everything. At 3pm, they did a special cocktail - a red wine hot chocolate while we were there! The staff are friendly. We sat inside but on a sunny day they have plenty of outdoor space. read more

Wine is excellent....! Every...single... one! Will definitely be back! Food and service were wonderful as well. Very friendly staff and the food came out very quick. read more

I give all the stars to the staff and the outdoor venue. It is just so relaxing and beautiful to be outdoor in the open backyard near the water. I also love the à la carte style cheeseboard that you choose your own. Wine enthusiast alert tho, come with friends and good mood, please have no expectation for wine. I tasted all 10 and will pay less than a penny for any bottle. I am being very positive here and try to have no complaint. Virginia wine has decades ahead to go to improve its taste and quality, especially reds. I still love this place for a weekend. read more

I have been coming here somewhat regularly for the past few months. (Once a month or once every other month) and usually my service is great because I come on a Friday when it's not busy. Came in today, ordered my glass of wine and as I'm heading outside with my beverage, an older lady (not sure if it was the owner), asked me if I was by myself, so I said yes. She said, make sure to sit at a smaller table. And I was like ummm ok. As a paying customer, I feel as though I can sit wherever I'm comfortable. It wasn't until later that I overheard they were expecting a party. So that made sense. However as just myself, I wasn't planning on taking up a large amount of space all afternoon. Her comment felt cold and unwelcoming. The wine here is great. I love to get either a flight or just have a glass of my favorite. If you're looking for super sweet wines, this isn't the place. But the wines are tasty, and just what I'm looking for in a dry white or red wine. I will continue to come here as I like the atmosphere but if I experience another cold interaction, I may have to find another local spot, which is sad because I do like to support the local businesses around here. Overall, great place! read more

It was very nice! Not the place for you if you don't like dry wines! But other than that it was beautiful and the boards were AMAZING! The sangria was by far the best thing I've ever had so read more

One of me and my husband's favorite spot! Love the picturesque view of the lake, the outdoor seating, corn hole, fire pit, and overall feel. The charcuterie is amazing, the wine is delicious. I love that the workers bring the food to the table. read more

Tried this place today, very nice location. Staff friendly and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. We tried a couple of the flatbreads and they are excellent. I tried the sangria and it was a little too sweet for my taste but still refreshing. My only recommendation is to get rid of the plastic plates, cutlery, and have some salt/pepper on tables. Trying to cut flatbread or other food with cheap plastic cutlery is difficult. But I will be back read more

The wines were nice. They had a band playing which was nice. However the service needs lots of work. They don't have any system to get ordered food or beverages to the correct tables. We ordered a charcuterie tray which took over an hour to get. The dates were awesome but i cant see B going back till they improve the service. The sangria was unusual and not to my taste. I won't get that again. I bet this place will be much better one day but they still have a lot to figure out. read more

Fun little spot on the creek. The wines are on the dryer side, no sweet wines. The area is very nice, nice staff and a great little spot to check out. read more

This vineyard has a great location tucked away in the country and an amazing view on the property. It has a nice atmosphere however, it could be improved upon. For anybody who likes sweet wines, this is not for you. Overall it was a good trying experience. read more

Amazing people here. Beautiful, super green areas where you can chill and have drinks. They also say the outside area is dog friendly. If you don't like wines that are too sweet, this is the place for you. Lots of wines for sampling. Highly recommend. read more

Kim and her team are hands down AMAZING. We have been here several times and every experience has been wonderful. The wine and food are absolutely delicious, the staff members are kind and friendly, and the location is beautiful. More recently, we had our wedding at their winery and it was such a wonderful experience. Kim made this wedding planning experience smooth and seamless and the wedding night was absolutely STUNNING. They went above and beyond, they made us feel like family, and we could not have chosen and more perfect venue. read more
