Cute spot. We did a tasting downstairs and also sat upstairs and listened to some live music. Good vibes for a families, a small or larger group of friends, or couples. If you sit outside you can bring your own food and chairs and stuff. Inside, you order off a limited menu. Shoutout to Becky who helped us out. Super friendly and accommodating!
Beautiful location with plenty of parking and seating. Friendly staff and dog friendly. We got a bottle of Viognier to share and it was refreshing and delicious. Very easy to drink. They had some live music as well. I'm not sure if they serve food but we did bring some of our own.
We came here with a member so we had a great experience. We tried their reds and they were pretty good. Live music even on a Sunday but if you want a quieter setting, sit downstairs. They have a cute outside with a fire pit and a lake too. If you bring your own food you have to sit downstairs or outside so keep this in mind. Would love to have a true wine tasting next time or sit outside once it gets warmer.
I visited the Barns this weekend as part of an arranged tour. Jay Hersey was our wine host and he was awesome . Not to mention how handsome and nice he was ;) Our wine tour was in the lower level of the winery. Jay was great with the group and gave us a great overview of the winery and the wine selections. After the winery was over, we were able to table pictures and go upstairs and try other wines and ports. The ladies who were upstairs were very Nice and told us about the wine we could purchase. My wine tour mates bought the wine in the bag, port, and also enjoyed the cheese. What I like about the winery is it is diverse. The other staff was very welcoming. The winery is great for family gatherings, ladies outgoing, date nights, and just an escape from the city! I'll be back and hopefully Jay is our host!
We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed the full bodied tasting. The barn is beautiful and we sat next to a roaring fire and chatted with the owner. We also tried the mulled wine, which was remarkable. We're excited to return this summer on a weekend when they have live music.
Good service, pretty decent wines. Nice live music on a Saturday. Came here from Bluemont Vineyard and we liked this place much better. The wines were better, the service was better, and the overall experience was better. In addition, the live music was really really good. People were getting up and dancing and having a good time. Unfortunately for us, they were closing early for a wedding, so the music ended at five. Overall a really nice place, and I'd be happy to come back here.
I loved this place. There was live music ( it was a Saturday) which was really good. The staff was awesome! They carried our wine flights out to the balcony for us. The balcony overlooked a pond in the grounds. Although I am only reviewing the venue, the wines were really good. There was not a kitchen but they had a food truck.
5 stars. I visited the Barns recently for the first time and it immediately became one of my favorite wineries in the area. The ambiance and wines are excellent. They have increidably friendly and knowledgeable staff. It is a beautiful rustic venue with a gorgeous scenery. The winery is located in a restored barn. By the way, the barn is over 100 years old. There is live music during the weekends. Plus they're open until 8 p.m. on Fridays. Not many are opened after 6 p. m. They allow outside food and it's dog friendly. The wines are excellent. In fact, they have a few award winning wines. Overall, a superb winery with a unique ambiance.
The venue is super cute and cozy. The service is great and everyone working was super helpful when I had questions on their wine selection. We came on a beautiful, but chilly fall Saturday and there was plenty of seating outdoors. I am not sure if you can make reservations, it looked mostly first come, first serve. They have a wood-fire pit for staying warm around as well as to roast marshmallows. They sell smores kits just in case you forgot yours! I had their Hamilton wine flight which was $20. It came with a lovely mix of reds, whites, and a rose. I was not a huge fan of their wines in the flight. I typically like full-bodied, dry red wines and none of the ones in the flight had that profile. This place is definitely worth a visit to enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, live music, and a variety of wines. It is also family friendly with lots of space for kids to run around.
I'm a member of this winery, so I get the luxury of visiting quite often when I go to member events. This winery is charming and isn't highfalutin or intimidating. The barn is really rustic and there's so much land to explore and get away if it is crowded. There has also never been a time where I've gone to this winery and there hasn't been live music. They usually always have great performers that do great covers. I would definitely recommend the cheese basket if you go with a group of people. They don't skimp out of the serving size and will in fact serve you a huge chunk of cheese and meet and whatever jam or spread you choose. I was pleasantly surprised by that and was expecting a charcuterie board with like 2 pieces of cheese and a half a piece of meet. You could feed a family of 4 or 5 with the cheese basket. it's definitely worth the money. The wine speaks for itself and is great. I tend to like the white and rose wines better than the reds here. The whites are really refreshing and great for sharing a bottle with people who can appreciate it.
I've been exploring different wineries to check out and why not use a birthday as an opportunity! It was perfect weather and day to get some friends together and drive up to VA for some wine. Luckily our friends arrived just in time to snag a table in the shade with just enough seats for everyone. We all brought our own snacks, which was perfect with the wine. Everyone has different taste buds, so we each ordered our own glasses, bottles, or pitchers of sangria. My husband and I ordered the different tastings and shared them. He really liked the cab Franc and I enjoyed the barn white. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria, which my sister loved, but it was definitely too sweet for me. The scenery and ambiance is really great. I loved the barn and the fresh smell of wood when going inside. Ordering was pretty simple. They give you a number, which up put up when you're ready to order. They are very efficient and offer great customer service. Overall, it was a great experience with a variety of wines, great view, and good laughs.
This was our first stop along the wine trail in the area. The barn from outside is pretty amazing. Looking at my photos, inside is incredible upstairs and below. They have a balcony outside with that amazing mountain view that everyone gets to see outside in the area. The ladies up front were nice and helpful with our experience. The wines were all really good. After visiting 12+ wineries on the trail, this one is my ultimate favorite. Based on the overall experience, environment and wine was all good. It was our favorite stop and plan on stopping here for a much longer time the next time we are in the area. I recommend if you like barns, nice view and amazing wines, go here.

The vibe here is metal stars on the facade, leather jackets, and cowboy boots. (And a fun 70s playlist) Combined with the deck over a greenfield and pond, it was a delight. The birds in the bordering trees added some great ambiance. Super fun! read more

Brought out-of-state friends to Purcellville, had a horrible experience at a nearby winery, so we left and found The Barnes by total chance -- it's gem!!!! Wonderful, warm and super friendly staff, serene and peaceful, great atmosphere, great wine, and plenty of snacks to choose from. Had a fun and relaxing time here. Will definitely be back! read more
We had a lovely Friday afternoon outing. Given the chilly weather, a tasting room that allowed our puppy was imperative. We enjoyed the atmosphere in the old converted barn, the friendly bartender, and the perfectly serviceable wines :). They also allow you to bring your own foods if downstairs or outside. read more

Visited this cute winery on a late Monday afternoon. Figured I'd be stuck in traffic anyways, might as well do a tasting, have a snack and head home post traffic. I did the reserve tasting for $15 since I typically like aged and drier wines, I enjoyed the Meritage and Cabernet Sauvignon the most. The person doing the tasting gave great descriptions as I tasted each wine plus it helped that she and I had similar palettes. The Meritage is a rich, full-bodied red wine crafted solely from noble Bordeaux grape varieties - Petit Verdot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Merlot, and Malbec and I found this to be drier than the Cabernet Sauvignon. Also enjoyed tasting their port! I ended up spending $73.14 just by myself! -$15 reserve tasting -$32 Meritage bottle -$9 glass of Cabernet Sauvignon -$10 salami -$3 baguette So they have an picnic basket option for $25 which is a great value: -1 cheese -1 meat -1 spread -1 baguette or crackers They also have live music and multiple seating areas both indoor and outdoor. read more

in the fall when I organized my wine tour with 10 beautiful ladies! Today , was all about pampering MOI and just enjoying some wine, foods and music . Let me start , upon entering a young lady named Katherine is at the entrance and will give you the guidelines. You give your credit card, grab your glass and your bottle with your number attached to it that you will place on your table when you need service. Masks are required inside but you free to take them off at your table . I was able to find a great table under a tree a few feet away from the musicians. If you lazy like me, you don't need to move , just place that bottle with the number on your table and one of the employees will come to you. Plenty of spaces for social distancing and people were really respectful of your personal spaces and had masks inside. I decided to do the self tasting, chose 4 whites and 2 reds. I loved all 6 wines, lol!! Decided to go with the 2018 Cascina on this hot Sunday! I had to buy the 2018 Malbec for my wine collection What I love about this winery is that is not as big as other wineries that I have been to but the view is breathtaking, wines are wonderful and customers service is impeccable! Jay was the gentleman that took care of my group last year and to my big surprised he remembered me, lol... but seriously who can forget a doll face like mine just kidding! The staff were fantastic, quick to help and you didnt have to wait long if you needed service. I had a chance to meet Susan (the manager) and she is a sweetheart and we got a talk a bit. Thanks for the great time Until next time read more

Cute winery overlooking a small pond. The inside of the barn is gorgeous and they had live music playing. A quiet experience Can be found outside overlooking the amazing estate. It was a nice stop on our winery tour in the area. read more
The Barns at Hamilton Station is a small winery with a mellow/relaxing barn style tasting room and a nice deck with a view. Their winemaker is the award-winning Michael Shaps who is more known for his eponymous label, but it doing some great work here. Several of the wines here have won awards in the Virginia Governor's Cup. I prefer their big reds: 1. The 2013 Petit Verdot is a very dark/inky wine with blackberry notes and substantive spice finishing with some vanilla and toast. 2. The 2014 Malbec is tank fermented and then aged in neutral oak. Very powerful and strong tannins. 3. The 2014 Meritage. The wine won the 2017 Virginia Governor's Cup Gold. It is a reserve blend with smoky chocolate/coffee smell and lots of complexity in a Bordeaux style blend. Pricing is mid-range for the better wineries in the region. About $25-35 per bottle. read more
Amazing!! We did a tasting of 5 wines. We got to see a huge rafter (had to look that up) of wild turkeys trying to come in and get a sip or two. The wines were very good and reasonably priced. The barn was the best thing about this winery though. It is BEAUTIFUL!! They have music events which we are definitely going to try to make it to. The manager who helped us was knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back!! read more

Another Michael Shaps-assisted winery that does his name proud. Nice historic vibe too. With so many wineries around it it's hard for one to stand out, but I liked this more than many of its neighbors. The Barns is...well...a barn! Actually a 100 year old refurnished barn that gives it a very homey feel. It also has an amazing view of the manicured grounds and pond in the back. Ambiance? Check. My server was very friendly and attentive. This tasting was free because on a previous visit I came late, so they gave me a free coupon and invited me to return again. It was hard to argue with free booze with a knowledgeable server. Hospitality? Double-check. The wine's most defining characteristic was their wonderful color. Pretty much every single one of them I wanted to admire (before drinking). Wines which I tried: 2013 Petit Verdot: very good. They said it was newly bottled but I couldn't tell. But it will get even better with age. 2012 Meritage: good. Actually I had an extremely hard time defining this one; I'll just say I liked it. 2013 Cab Franc: little peppery, not bad at all. HSV Harmony: light red blend. Not as nice as the others but still decent. The whites? Well...lets just say they were either on the buttery or sweet side. Neither is my cup of tea (um...glass of wine?). But my all time favorite was the 1910 Port-style. It had a wonderful strong nose but surprisingly the body wasn't overwhelming. Most of their grapes are from Charlottesville; normally I prefer places that are estate grown, but they explained the local real estate is pricy, plus C-Ville has a better climate for most of their grapes. Oh well; at least they get all but a small portion from VA. So yeah....I'll be back. read more

Ended up at The Barns for an employee appreciation event. We were able to sample a few of their wines. The day that our event was hosted there was also Paella by Carlos that was selling paella and there was also live music. The Barns is a very small vineyard then I'm used to but the venue itself (The Cellar) is very beautiful and rustic. There is even a patio outside with chairs and a beautiful view with a a small lake on the land. Wines: I got to try the Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Rose and the Viognier. All four were very good. The rose was not overly sweet was good. The Viognier was crisp and was a bit dry but not sweet at all. The Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot were both acidic but I didn't mind it to much it just meant that the reds that they have are a bit younger. Overall The Barnes is a nice place just to hangout with friends and enjoy the weather. Wine is pretty good also. Although I will say it is a bit hard to find the entrance to place and there aren't too many signs telling you where the entrance to the vineyard is so if your not paying attention you might miss it. read more
This stop caused my wife to scream. Well my driving to this place made her scream, audible gasps from the back seat at well... Well I see a winery I'm going to use my brakes & aggressive steering to get there! Music came from a large barn, so what if it was a cover of a U2 song. It was a happening place! Friendly & busy. Place was the the busiest winery on our tour so far. Cigars to be had too, however has none of them were Cuban I wasn't going to start smoking here. Good wines was the verdict from the now buzzed passengers. Beautiful barn was my opinion, needs better songs to cover... read more
