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.

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!

He asked me where I was from and when I told him he said "I am sorry". Not cool at all. After that he asked if we liked red wine, we said no. He brought 2 glasses out anyway and insisted we try it. We finally gave in but we didn't like being pressured. We still don't like red wine. Then he asked if he could sit with us. We reluctantly agreed but instead of taking the empty chair he grabbed my wife's purse without asking and moved it to the other chair. What should have been a nice and semi private experience ended up being spent with a pushy host. Not contemplating going back.

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.

The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the ambiance is loose, open, inviting, and just a cool laid back vibe.

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!
