This place is serene and extremely peaceful and I could probably just sit outside and take everything in for hours. There are a few boardgames to play as well. There aren't a lot of seating inside, but during the daytime, the place was very laid back and not overcrowded. There are no marked parking spaces, but people typically park on the grass and there is ample space for so many cars. The interior of the main building was very simple and "bare bones" but had a homely charm to it and the lovely woman who served our flights was such a gentle, warm person who complemented the peacefulness of the place! My friend and I ended up buying our own bottles of wine and my fiance absolutely loved the Barren Ridge's Touriga wine that I got for him! Will definitely be back to bring him the next time around! Just a great place to take a step back and enjoy some wine!

We stopped by Castle Vineyards on a Saturday evening, excited that they were open late (until 7PM)…read more The interior had rustic farmhouse decor, with a bar to order at and plenty of seating. They offered both tastings and flights, but my friend and I both chose a glass of Rosé. The staff member had described it as crisp and dry, but it was still a bit too sweet for my preference - not terrible though. We sat on the rocking chairs outside and admired the nice view of green fields. I think they were setting up for a private event in the meantime, because people kept showing up with their own trays of food, and a whole bunch of children and dogs. Overall, we liked the ambiance here but the wine wasn't especially memorable and service was lukewarm.

I highly recommend bringing some snacks and finding a nice spot to relax with your family or friends for a weekend outing. However, there wasn't much service, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or friendly toward us. I'm not sure why, but the customer service could definitely use some improvement. On the bright side, they have some really nice frozen drinks that you should definitely try! Overall, it was an okay experience. The location and atmosphere were toward families, but they could improve their customer service to make the experience much better.

They have a nice, open seating area with plenty of covered space. I highly recommend bringing your own snacks or food because there aren't many food options. This place is definitely pet-friendly, too. We saw many happy puppies running around and enjoying the day. As for the drinks, they offer standard flights, glasses, and bottles. We tried the XoXo, Gold Label, and a few of their red and white wines. Some of them had impressive flavors, although I think there is still room for improvement. The service was good, and the staff were friendly. However, my biggest issue and especially for the men, is that they only have one men's restroom. I honestly don't understand the concept. With so many visitors, they definitely need more restrooms for men. Otherwise, they might end up with some very unhappy customers! Overall, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the calm breeze. I would suggest turning the music down a little so people can enjoy some conversation. And, sorry to say, but the band wasn't exactly my favorite.

This was my second time and Nikki's first, and we pulled up READY for great wine, good vibes, and a cute little winery moment . From the second we walked in, the staff greeted us like we were long-lost cousins coming home for the holidays . We did a guided tasting at the bar -- six wines for around $15 (a STEAL, okay!?), and the fun began. Nikki's fave: Bourbon Barrel Chambourcin -- the star of her whole life that day 2019 Chambourcin Oaked Aged 36 months in new American oak... listen... this wine came in sweet on the nose, fruity on the tongue, and creamy on the finish. Light, playful, and honestly kinda flirty. Perfect with stuffing or honestly anything because she was drinking it like it was juice . My fave: 2018 Petit Manseng -- MY GIRL!! Light, dry, citrusy, pear-y, pineapple-y and giving "I'm that wine" energy. Complex but still smooth... basically the Beyoncé of the tasting. We even got to try some wines that weren't on the list, and let me tell you -- 90% of their wines were hitting. Like, not one flop in sight . But the BEST part? The vibe. The service. The "you're family here" energy. It literally felt like sipping wine at your cousin's cute countryside home you never knew they had . 10/10 recommend! Go, sip, laugh, vibe, repeat!

We loved that the vineyards on the tour were close proximity to one another, so we didn't waste much time traveling, which was great.

He picked us up right on time, the van was spacious and clean, and we got home safely. I would highly suggest using Time 2 Wine if you're near Luray and want to check out some great vineyards!

The Shenandoah Valley wine growing region/ terroir is as beautiful and blessed a region as any on…read moreearth. Of the many wineries in the region, it is impossible to pick just one that is your favorite; try picking your favorite song. But in the world of a wine spectator, guided by my wife who is a sommelier, I am afforded unique opportunities. Glenn Manor Winery is a specificity. They are a century farm steeped in the values of our valley. Arriving from north or south one is struck by the sense of grandeur among the modest and well kept homes. Pride of ownership. No signs are necessary for those who seek the work of Jeff White and his dedicated partners. Visiting them makes it apparent that all are equally valued . "Sommunity". I cop to I'll-literary license in reference to those who range from those who are novice to those more learned, and as for myself, those who enjoy the diverse venues that offer good juice and conviviality. There is a solemnity to Glen Manor. I don't wish to be irreverent, but there is no denying the presence of the Lord when you are blessed by beautifully talented people who till the soil and host their guests in a setting that is truly touched by God. Wrapped by the Daughter of the Stars and shrouded by the Blue Ridge in the northern Appalachian, I find myself in awe of the land I call home. The wine made at Glen Manor is an effort of dignity. Nothing here is done by manipulation, but by the force of nature. Jeff makes what God provides to the earth and his gift. The beauty of his bounty is biblical and the gift he has been given. There is a fragility to every art, and making wine is no different. It demands the agility to react to the will of the winds and the ability to inspire your partners to have faith in the vine that is life. For without the vine, the branches bear no fruit.

When having wine here you get to enjoy the same stunning views as hiking in the national park. The scenery is truly breathtaking. The service we encountered was exceptional. The staff members are true wine experts and treat you like royalty. The wine itself was fantastic. It's worth noting to bring your own snacks or lunch as they don't offer food on-site, but they do allow you to bring your own. With a spacious patio and outdoor area, you can sit back, unwind, and fully absorb the incredible mountain views. This will be a post-hike tradition for me from now on!
