We went to Veritas for lunch and wine tastings. Both were good. We sat outside on their veranda and enjoyed the view with our food and wine. It was lovely. For lunch, we had the Apple Brie and Turkey sandwich. That was such a good combination. We also had the Arugula and apples salad. It also was good. The main tasting costs $20. They also offer an option to customize your wine tasting for $30. Both provide four wines. We customized and had the Sauvignon Blanc, the Viognier, the Rose, and the Petit Verdot. All were good, and it was fun tasting such an eclectic mix of wines. The staff are kind and professional. Our server gave us a little history on the vineyard, which we really appreciated. There's no pressure to buy bottles of the wine. read more

Veritas is a quaint and beautiful winery! The views are stunning, especially in the Fall. The parking lots are toward the front of the entrance, and a small walk to the indoor entrance. There is a cozy indoor open space for seating, with some fireside seating, couches, and high top tables of four. There is a big wrap around patio also with outdoor seating with a closer proximity to the amazing views. The food options here are nice, nothing too far from meats and cheeses, but I'm okay keeping it elevated with the main thing the main thing. Their wines are mostly dry, but good especially with foods. On this particular visit my friend and I had already had lunch, so opted to share a bottle and a cheese plate. It was perfectly portioned to share and enjoy a nice friend date with scenic views. I enjoy Veritas and it's a great stop for an hour or so to wine down and relax! read more

Veritas Vineyard & Winery is absolutely beautiful. The grounds, the views, the architecture everything feels polished, serene, and high-end. Perfect for photos (and trust me, we got some gorgeous ones!). The wine and overall vibe just weren't quite our style definitely more on the upscale, refined side rather than the casual, low-key energy we usually look for on a wine weekend. But even if it's not your go-to atmosphere, it's absolutely worth stopping by just to take in how beautiful the property is. If you love elevated wineries with luxurious touches, this one will be right up your alley. For us, the scenery is the star of the show. read more

Very pretty property, although crowded on the weekends. Our group reserved a picnic table pod, which cost around $40. It was advertised for up to 12, but it was challenging to squeeze our party of 10 on the picnic table. We did have a server though as part of our seating, which was nice. We were able to order some snacks as well as flights. Was a bit on the pricier side for wineries in the area, but overall, wine was good as were the snacks. read more

This was our second stop on our vineyard day out in Charlottesville. I loved the ambiance and the big patio they had at Veritas. However, the wine was not my favorite. I went with a wine flight, and the sauvignon blanc was almost not drinkable. The reds were a little better though, and many people in our group preferred the reds over the whites. We also shared the hummus platter which had a lot of fresh veggies and tasty bread that came with it. All in all, it wasn't a hit or miss. If you're looking for a place with a big patio, this would be a good option. read more

I have been to this winery before years ago and wanted to take my friend back here. We both got the wine flights that included both red and white wines. The wines are excellent here and the place has such cozy vibes with plenty of seating outside. I bought a bottle of their red to bring to my friend. Wish we were here earlier in the day to spend more time but we had to leave since they wer setting up for an event that evening read more

I really liked this winery! It was so pretty. They have so many places you can go to walk around and enjoy the view with your wine.

This is such a beautiful place! Their dining room is gorgeous with plenty of seating space. I can only imagine how great it would be in the winter with the fireplace working.

This was our second stop on a wine tasting adventure, and it was great. There was a bit of a long wait at the bar, but once we got our wine and got seated, we relaxed into the afternoon. The tasting room is pretty as are the grounds and the property as well cut. The tasting board is absolutely worth it and they serve the wine in these cute little bottles on the board. This was overall a cool experience. read more

The beauty of this venue is apparent as soon as you drive up. There are both outdoor and indoor seating available. The outdoor seating is preferable with the gorgeous view of the vineyards and surrounding. A shaded patio provides optimal seating for a hot summer day. Picnic tables are also available on a spot that looks perfect for a wedding reception imo. I had never been to a tasting before. Our server answered all my questions patiently and provided us with prompt and friendly service. This was a perfect spot and stop for our day trip. read more

Veritas is such a beautiful place. I stayed a night at The Farmhouse which was the perfect bed and breakfast experience. I didn't spend too much time at the winery because I went to Veritas Illuminated, which was cute and fun! But I love that the winery stays open late for Veritas Illuminated. After we finished the trail, we went in for a glass of their port wine, which was delicious, and their grilled cheese and short rib hoagie which were pretty good too. read more

Going to Veritas is always amazing and I've never had a bad experience here. I was with some family and friends and we came to see the Christmas Illumination lights they had set up! it was $15 for a ticket! They could've had more lights but it was still super pretty and something fun to do! We got a bottle of the White Star wine and it's super sweet but delicious! We got a table in the ballroom and it was very elegantly decorated. The service was nice and the food was delicious. We got a chicken sandwich and the fries to share and it was super tender and delicious! read more

We came for Veritas Unlimited and had a wonderful time. We arrived early so we got a great parking spot. We enjoyed some wine a food prior to our entry time. The food - chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and the French onion grilled cheese were both very good. We enjoyed walking through the light display. It was really crowded when we left so we were thankful to have an early time slot. read more

This is such a stunning winery! It's set in the mountains of Afton and is a reasonable drive from Richmond. I was fortunate enough to visit on a pretty spring day on a date. I ordered a glass of white, and he had a rose. While mine was good, we both preferred his more. The only annoying thing, which was outside of the winery's control, was the screeching child screaming for her dad, who remained oblivious to his toddler and later dropped his baby like it was nbd. I will never understand. Fortunately, there's a whole lot of space on their patio and grounds. Unfortunately, sound travels. I'm glad to have checked this place out finally, and I'm sure I'll be back someday to try more of their wines. read more

Veritas used to be one of my favorite vineyards in Virginia but after my rude encounter with one of the employees, that's no longer true. Before I even walked to the bar, the associate asked me what she could do for me - no smile. No welcome. I let her know I'm interested in doing a tasting and she was rude the whole time, to the point where I decide to not do a tasting and just buy a bottle and leave. Even my husband who is completely oblivious to things asked me "what was that?? Why was she so rude?" as we were walking out. The wine is good, I can't take that away from this vineyard but CUSTOMER SERVICE and WINE KNOWLEDGE would go a long way (this associate also didn't know the difference between the perception of dry and off dry wine and got snippy when I asked if their petit manseng was dry or off dry and rudely said "it's sweet". It was most definitely off dry) read more

abysmal service. waitress was inattentive (did not check on us at ANY point in time, we always had to call her over) and gave us three plates/knives when it was four of us dining. my friend found a bug in her drink and she gave us attitude when giving our replacement. no apology or anything. also dropped one of our flights. the only redeeming quality of this meal was the jam in the charcuterie board. and i can't even say the entire thing was good because the quality of the strawberries were subpar for the price point ($36). it seemed like they just gave us the beaten up strawberries at the bottom of the bag. see pictures for details. go to pippin hills winery instead or something. read more

It's a place you come for the views. It's an impressive estate with great views of the Shenandoah Valley. They have igloos and fire pits if you want to enjoy the outdoors during winters. We stopped into have a classic flight to share. They were very accommodating giving us two glasses so we could share. The winery was clever with how to approach tastings in light of public health concerns, with a card for tasting descriptions and QR codes to link to a video on the wine notes. The flight was $15 and included four wines. - Viognier - Probably my favorite. Very crisp. - Rose - It's difficult to imagine drinking a rose in January. The cab franc base gives it a commanding taste that makes it a good pairing option even in cold weather. Very smooth. - Merlot - Very fruit forward - Red Star - Our least favorite, a bit to sweet for our liking The wine was average and a bit too light and sweet for our palate. We enjoyed the service and views, so extra star for that. read more

Hi! I wanted to reach out as someone who comes to your winery 3-4 times a year. I truly enjoy coming a few times a year and have always appreciated the experience. However, during my visit this past Friday 2/28, I was disappointed by the service. Unfortunately, the servers were quite rude disrespectful, and unhelpful, which made for a less-than-enjoyable experience. I wanted to bring this to your attention because I've always had great visits. I was in town for a girls weekend with 10 friends and I recommend this winery. The two female bartenders were so rude to my friends and me I couldn't believe it. Unhelpful and uninterested. I'd appreciate any insight you can provide and hope my next visit will be more in line with the wonderful experiences I've had before. read more

Fantastic wines and food available. Picnic areas available that are cordoned off for social distancing. Love the Viognier and the charcuterie platter. Service was good and they made sure pups had water. read more

My wife and I decided to stop here on Saturday (our day to do these very things). Gorgeous property. The wine is okay. Maybe just not our scene I think. They are a little controlling on where you sit, but that's their right. I think they are trying to maintain order and not have it be crazy, like other places close by. When we visit wineries we always try learn about the vineyard. The ladies that helped us didn't have a clue nor were they too engaging. They were polite, but the line in the ball room to serve glasses was clearly overwhelmed and their focus was elsewhere, which is fine. I get it. They were overwhelmed enough that I chose not to stand in line for another glass. I think they need to rework their system, but then again it might just be staffing shortages that are par for the course these days anywhere you go. We both tried their red which was fine. All and all this is a nice vineyard, but will I return, ahe.... ? No photos on this review. read more

We had a lovely afternoon at Veritas! I'm not usually too impressed by Virginia wines, but we really enjoyed Veritas. The grounds are lovely and main building comfortable and nicely decorated. We shared a flight of 4 wines and a charcuterie board. All the wines were really tasty - but the merlot was our favorite. We'll be back!! read more

They screwed up our reservation, but recovered fast to get us seated. Stuff happens and I give them points for responding. Especially given how tough things are with COVID. Outdoor seating is great with tables and a tent. Very beautiful scenery there. While we enjoyed all the wines, the reds were the stars. In particular the Petit Verdot and the 2019 Claret were excellent. There were lots of great food options, but the cheese and charcuterie that came with a fresh warm baguette. We enjoyed our experience here and will come back for sure the next time we are in the area. read more

Veritas Vineyard & Winery - White Star white wine. 2 signature glasses - Wineries Near Me - Afton, Virginia

We visit Veritas annually when we are in the Charlottesville area and it's always an enjoyable experience. They have some great white wines- in particular the sauv blanc and viognier were hits this time around. The winery gets very busy on the weekends and this time around it was a bit tough because it was so hot out and only so much was available in the shade. I learned after we arrived that you could make a dog friendly reservation on the veranda so that's a tip for the future. Overall- still had a great experience but wish I had made a reservation and wish they served the sparkling by the glass because I was tempted to get a bottle but wanted to taste it first. Still highly recommend! read more

Beautiful and decent wine flight that included a white, rose, and 2 reds. We ordered a charcuterie board which they were able to add gluten free bread to. The biggest downfall is there are only 2 single stall bathrooms-which resulted in long wait times considering there were a lot of large female groups. read more

Gorgeous winery - it was very crowded when we got there but we were lucky enough to score a table outdoors. Servers were very busy and the place seemed short staffed - took forever to get our table bussed and cleaned, but once we were seated our orders were taken quickly and the wine and food arrived promptly. The wine was great - I tried the dry Rosé and we liked it so much that we got 2 bottles to go. The appetizers that we ordered were absolutely incredible! The cheeses were buttery and fresh, the bread was warm and everything was put together beautifully. The Whipped Feta was the perfect combination of sweet and savory - just absolute perfection! Wish we lived closer and could go back frequently! Loved everything about it. read more

Ordered food to have with my flight. No real wine tasting here. The waiter was clueless. He never ordered my food. They walk around with iPads and still can't get even get the orders right .. When he finally came by the table, we asked about the food " you ordered food" we ordered waters he only brought one .. I'll never go back. The wine was terrible, reminds me of kids mixing all the colors together and crap comes out. I couldn't drink the reds on the flight, and I drink red. They want you to scan codes to read about the wines, the Wi-Fi there is locked what a pain. A lot of people go there, good for them. It's not for me. Bathrooms are not adequate for the amount of people. The view is ok. It's nice looking place. See for yourself. read more

What a great place to hang out for wine! I've only been to a handful of wineries in California, but none were as organized as Veritas. From the moment I passed the main entrance, a woman greeted me and directed me towards a gentleman who helped me find the perfect glass of white for the afternoon. I'm use to fighting for the bartender's attention...so this was a fresh breath of air. Anyway! I explained to Doug that I was looking for one glass, not multiple tastings. We started with something sweeter like the white... white something hehe, the third item on the tasting menu. It was too sweet, so he gave me a sample of the Chardonnay. Ooh, too dry for my liking. But the viognier was perfect. Veritas seems like a place you hang out in the warmer days of the year because theres not enough seating inside around the fireplace!! read more
