Living close to Trump Winery & Cidery is a bonus and we often go for lunch and wine tastings when friends come to visit. The lunch menu has a wide variety of options, served in a lovely room with a roaring fireplace and a panoramic view of the vineyard. During the warmer weather, it's a pleasure to sit outside on the patio or on the lawn in the Adirondack chairs to enjoy lunch or a glass of wine. Check their calendar for monthly events. Their Christmas Artisan Even was wonderful! They also had a wreath making class that was a lot if fun! read more

A big beautiful sprawling vineyard on a rolling hills estate. The grounds were impeccable and inside was too. There is accessible parking right at the foot of the entrance. Dogs are allowed on property but not on furniture. There are picnic tables, Adirondack chairs and high top tables outside with a panoramic view of the mountains. We did a tasting which was delectable. The gift shop is stocked with clothing to candles, playing cards, snacks and lip balm! And of course wine! Our service from the sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Soak in the breathtaking views while sipping your flight of wines at Trump Vineyard. It was a bit crowded on a Saturday, but the staff and guests were super friendly. Our party of four selected a variety of wines making up our tasting flights. We also ordered the charcuterie platter, a salad, mushroom flatbread, and some sandwiches. The food came out quickly and was provided in a cute picnic basket. Be sure to do some shopping to continue this fun experience at home. read more

Trump Winery - Charcuterie platter - Wineries Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Easily one of my top three wineries in Virginia. It's known for being the largest winery east of the Mississippi River, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. There's a great selection of wines to choose from, and the food is definitely worth trying as well. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine--it's a popular spot for a reason! read more

On our road trip through Virginia we had to make a stop to the Trump Winery. The location is beautifully located on top of a hill. The magnificent entrance includes more than 600 American Flags and a spectacular landscaping. We made reservations to the restaurant for lunch. You do not need reservations for the wine flights. We sat inside as it was a hot day but we had a great view of the mountains. Our lunch was delicious and simple with a sandwich, cauliflower fritters and sparkling wine. We then went to the tasting room and had a flight of all the sparkling wines. You receive a free glass when ordering a flight. We were there for two hours and enjoyed the view. There are options to order basket and do a picnic outside but it was too hot to do in summer. The location is very elegant and parking is easy. read more

Trump Winery in Charlottesville is a stunning vineyard with breathtaking views. We enjoyed a Taster's Choice Flight, and each wine was excellent. My favorite was the rosé, which was lightly sweet and incredibly refreshing. My husband preferred the Cabernet Sauvignon, which was rich and full-bodied. We also ordered the pita and hummus, which paired nicely with our wine. The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything; from the seating area to the restrooms, was clean and well-maintained. Most memorable of all were the spectacular views. read more

We had a lovely time at the Trump Winery. Beautiful views and tasty wines and food. Was hoping to try the caviar but they unfortunately ran out. However, the service was excellent, particularly at the wine bar where we ordered a couple of flights. There was only one white that we didn't care for, but it was still a fabulous experience. read more

Their wine is excellent! Very happy with the wine. The champagne is quite good as well.

We've been to a few wineries over the years. Trump winery offers several nice amenities. The most important being the wine: probably had a total of three bottles in my life, e.g., their Cab, Sauvignon Blanc and the nouveau blanc. They are all good--no complaints. Their award wall certainly provides the evidence of outstanding vino. The ambience of the tasting room, deck, gift shop, etc. are well appointed and pleasant. When I first approached the tasting room, the employees were busy with other patrons, so I bided my time looking at the menus. Eventually, I connected with one of the servers and asked for a sample of the Viognier. Too sweet! As my wife approached the bar, I asked for an other sample of the same. The server gave her a small sample. She agreed, a bit too sweet. We settled on the Sauvignon Blanc, which pared nicely with our mushroom and arugula flat bread pizza and salad. We enjoyed the food, and the view from the patio is spectacular. Definitely worth the trip! read more

You know you've reached the Trump Winery when you see American flags lining the fence at the road. The property is beautiful with a lake and grape field as far as you can see. Once we got to the Tasting room, it is a long, beautiful winding drive, we felt welcomed and comfortable at all times. We ordered a wine flight with two sparkling wines and two whites on the sweeter side. Then a Pesto Chicken Flatbread and a the Swiss BLT with cauliflower fritters and ranch.The flatbread and sandwich were delicious. The cauliflower fritters were just okay, they could use a buffalo or an asian spice on them for more flavor. The Trump Winery staff were super friendly, smiling, and very helpful during our time there on Monday, April 14th. The service was fast and friendly! read more

Love the food and the wine. The property is gorgeous. I definitely will return. The American flags lining the entrance are magnificent!

Being from California i am truly blown away!! The grounds are absolutely stunning!! And I would say better than what Napa has to offer!! Everyone was so friendly!! Especially Erin!! Hey girl hey!! She was so patient and helpful and just an absolute doll!! The food was delectable and paired nicely with everything that we were drinking.. On the note of drinking their wine was fantastic! Crisp whites, and soft reds!I didn't waste any time becoming a member!! The setting and ambiance of the winery is just so peaceful and enjoyable!! I love the main lawn with the Adirondack chairs. Fun for adults and kids alike! Can't wait for when my next time back will be!! read more

Coming here I really didn't know too much about the winery. I expected a smallish place, and the rolling hills filled with vines leading up to the large building. From their website: "We pride ourselves on creating the finest terroir-driven sparkling, white, and red wines, which have won numerous national and international medals and best-in-class designations. Planted with 227 acres of French vinifera varieties, Trump Winery is Virginia's largest vineyard and the largest vinifera vineyard on the East Coast." Yes, it is worth coming here. Having stayed for a night at the estate I passed on the tasting here and did not need the food either, so I cannot comment on that side of the experience. Otherwise, the gift shop, including the purchase of the Viognier wine I found to be my favorite, was all I was looking for. Service was friendly, and surprisingly low-key. Almost too low-key. When I asked for the wine, there was no push for an upsell on quantity. That's fine for me, but it almost felt awkward asking for three bottles. With Eric Trump being the President (of the winery that is) it was not surprising to see some St. Jude Children's Research Hospital stuff in the gift shop as well. read more

What an amazing breathtaking scenery, from the drive to the location which was absolutely stunning. With a deep sense of place, Trump Winery ties together terroir and innovation, boasting nearly 200 acres of vines, large lakes, and spectacular rolling Blue Ridge views. Once on the grounds the sense of peace and tranquility. Driving up to the venue the collection of American Flags was very patriotic. I also loved the large American flag flowing in the wind, giving a very humbling and serene view. The staff is amazing, personable and knowledgeable in wines. We got a Flight of wines, which was superb. We left with several bottles of wine, shirts, hats and chocolate gold bars. The place is a magical and memorable experience. We love everything TRUMP! The TRUMP empire does everything with class and quality. Any visit to Trump Winery will be a treasured experience. read more

We visited in early spring! The weather was perfect and the scenery amazing. Were purchased several wine, all whites and that did not disappoint. Crisp, cold, citrus and fresh are all words that come to mind. We enjoyed the hummus and charcuterie board. That was delicious as well! Overall, very pleasant and enjoyable! read more

Driving from Florida to Connecticut can be a lot, so making stops at special places always brightens up the road trip. That being said, we decided to stop here today. This was our first time going to Trump Winery. We have tried the wine before from our local liquor stores and had some shipped to our home...but visiting the winery is so much more than we could have imagined. The views are breathtaking, the inside is stunning, the food is perfect, the wines are sensational, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We will surely be back again. Thank you, Trump Winery, for a lovely lunch and wine tasting. God bless! read more

In the Blue Ridge Foothills along Virginia's Wine Trail is an amazing winery. Just the stunning 1,300 acre estate-turned-winery is worth a visit for the views. The winery itself is located on the former private residence of John and Patricia Kluge, Albemarle Estate... The wine tasting "room" is the carriage house of that estate. It's impressive. The house is 26,000 square feet. The carnage house must be 15,000 square feet and is amazing. I've been in numerous impressive wineries on both coasts as well as Canada. This is more impressive than any I have seen. And the wine. I have tried some that are truly great. We bought some New World Reserve, a blend of mostly Merlot and Cab Franc is a favorite. We picked this up back before the 2020 election, but opened some after the 2024 election. I think this is one of the best Trump has to offer. I have yet to try the cidery, but it has to be good. You can order wine to be delivered to most states, so you don't have to travel here to taste... Trumps place is not far from Thomas Jefferson's winery which is one of the oldest in the country. It's good wine, not on par with Trumps but still worth a visit. If you go to Trump first, you will be underwhelmed by Jeffersons place. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy wine or happen to like amazing architecture and gorgeous views of the Virginia countryside. read more

Beautiful grounds and views. Friendly staff and great wine. We came here for wine along with visiting other vineyards around the area but loved this one so much we came back the next day and had lunch and bought more wine. Highly recommend to make a trip here to relax and have vino. read more

I would never dream of 3 stars and i almost have 1 star. The service was just awful with incredibly rude/arrogant tasting service. The manager did save us in the end but wow it needs new structuring and nicer people. That said, the place and location are superb. I was very excited to explore the facility and relax outside. For a Wednesday afternoon it was crowded. They no longer have the sweeter wines which bummed us. Every option was dry. I think there are opportunities here and it looks like they are still working out the kinks. I will return and hope it's a better experience. read more

We just visited Albemarle Estate for a few days. Beautiful!! No complaints whatsoever!!! We also hit perfect weather!! Mid October!! The estate, the staff, the views, the rooms are all spectacular!! We stayed in the Jefferson room. Our view was beautiful! No room on either side of us, so very quiet and peaceful! The food was delicious!!!! The grounds just breathtaking! We walked up to the winery and it was beautiful as well!! Nice restaurant or if you prefer to eat outdoors, they make a nice basket for you. Great wine and the Blanc noir sparkling was exceptional, in my humble opinion. Great gift shop!!! Not overpriced either, which was impressive. The walk up to the winery is a bit uphill. But if the weather is nice, it is a beautiful, leisurely walk. Lots of photo ops along the way. Everyone was so nice! Just a great experience overall!!! Would love to return at Christmastime! I hear it's beautiful decorated at that time!! They are closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so their staff can have time with their families, which is very nice. Highly recommend Albemarle Estate/Trump Winery! read more

Trump winery is a good stop on the Central VA wine trail. The indoor premises is just immaculate looking and very grand. When it came to tasting the wine, of all four on the tasting 4 out of 4 were very good. I feel like I cant usually say the same of other wineries there are usually one or two "meh!" reactions to some of the wines I've had in each winery. The thing that really sets the experience apart is when you stroll a little outside and take seat in one of the large chairs overlooking the surrounding area. Nice to take an easy chair and experience the beautiful landscape that I usually took for granted on the way home from work. read more

I have been to this winery once before many years ago and recently revisited this weekend. It's even better than I remember it!! Ample views, vines, seating, and options. -The only complaint I could possibly have are the small amounts of bathroom stalls to the amount of people that visit this location!! I waited a bit to use the bathroom. Upon first walking into the main doors, the gift shop greets you. It's truly difficult not to get carried away with the bottles to take home, luxury bath robes, holiday decor such as ornaments; and pet collars. A couple steps further, and you have an option to move to your left or to your right into different tasting rooms and seating options with views and fire pits that warm up the entire area. I quickly got in line and waited a "normal" amount. It was certainly a busy weekend!! I ordered two tasting flights one red for my fiancé, and one customized flight for myself with sweeter white options and a sparkling rose! Each flight this weekend came with a signature, Trump Winery glass. We opted for a beautiful, larger red wine glass to take home with us. I Each flight had the option to select small pours or larger pours. I opted for the larger. Each flight was more than enough for us! Got a little buzz complimented with little bites to share. I ordered three food options: the charcuterie tray with meat and cheese, the artichoke fritters, and the chimmichurri steak flatbread. I was hungry....and I really fought myself hard to not order more. The options were really fantastic and upscale, even Caviar! The artichoke fritters were my favorite, coupled with a house made tzatziki with dill and garlic. I just might need to try recreate this recipe! The charcuterie has delicious cheese pairings, the smoked Gouda was my favorite! The cornichon pickles were so good! The stone ground Dijon too. The flatbread was crunchy on the edges and full of toppings! Certainly my fiancés favorite. We came the day after Thanksgiving, and it was really nice to see the amount of families throwing the footballs around, playing music, playing card, games, dressed nicely or just casual and of course it was difficult to find good outdoor seating. Also, it was a little chilly plenty of indoor seating was more than enough for us and we were able to walk around and really soak in the views which were really I could not state enough his house stunning the estate is. The service is fantastic. The lady who took my order was very hospitable and we got to talking and she wasn't rushing me to get to the next person. Clearly, customer service and care is important to the team. read more

Everyone says it's the best. Tremendous. World-class. Believe me! Well... everyone must be drinking something stronger than wine, because this place? Total disaster. The wine? Weak. Very low energy. I've had better in a box from the grocery store. "Everyone loves it," they say -- not the people I know. Sad! The views are nice, sure, but you can't sip scenery. And the vibe? Cold. Like it was built to impress people who pretend they like wine but actually just want to brag about going to "Trump" Winery. It claims to be the biggest vineyard in Virginia. Okay. So what? So is the parking lot at Walmart -- doesn't mean I want to drink there. Everyone knows it's the best? No. Everyone knows it's the worst. read more

The wine vineyard was an absolutely amazing experience. Brought my parents in law as they visited Charlottesville and they were extremely impressed with the size and quality of the estate. The wine, food, and atmosphere truly made the trip an incredible experience. The staff were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. The cider tasting room just opened and was another great experience. 10/10 don't miss this trip if you are driving by. read more
