So you can imagine my surprise when I saw a huge building with their branding. The interior is spacious, with multiple tables for tastings, each with its own bartender. There are far more options to taste than you can try in one sitting, but your server will help you narrow it down to 4. I liked to loved everything I had. They even had some weird options that I was tempted to try but I went for a more traditional flight (although I definitely want to return for the coffee whisky). The only option I wasn't in love with was the smokehouse, but that's just a personal preference. After my tasting I learned they were doing some kind of slushys as well, so I got one of those. I thought it was a very fun, informative experience. I'll also have to try the "Proof" kitchen as well.

I decided on a flight of Provocateur, Bullet Sponge, Leftenant and a Molotov Fizz seltzer. One friend got a flight of cider and seltzer, and the other got a beer. We sat outside on the covered porch as it was a nice day and enjoyed our drinks. This is a smaller sized location with pretty views and a friendly staff. Their beverage options are a bit more limited than other places, but it's worth stopping in if you're in the area.

They also seemed slightly overwhelmed with a slightly larger group even though one of the girls in our group had given the place a heads up that we were coming. The wines we ordered (Tannat, rose and sangria) were all delicious. As a group we ordered charcuterie, skewers, cheese balls and empanadas. All the snack plates were tasty.

It sounds like the wine list changes about every quarter, so there's opportunity to try different sips! Food did take a while (~25 min) for what it was, but will definitely cut some slack as there was only one server on to take care of the whole places. Offerings were quality and appreciated having a taste of Spain with the manchego, cava, and Serrano ham!

The wine tasting was nice. With large parties you are given a flight to try. No need to stand in the tasting room. I liked several of the flavors. After the tasting we took a walk around the grounds taking in all the animals. Because it was winter, we didn't spend a lot of time in the lavender fields. We did however visit the lavender shop. I purchased a lavender honey spot and some delightful lemon crunch lavender ice cream. Overall staff were friendly. I would recommend this business for anyone in the area or visiting massanutten.

You really get to enjoy an immersive, interactive experience on the farm. There is something for everyone, from interactive gardens and live animals. The best for a cute little DIY wine tasting. You can bring your own charcuterie platters, which is what we did to go along with our tastings. They have tasting room called the Purple Wolf Vineyard where you can purchase your portable tastings, wine, beer and slushy flights . I would definitely return again, great place to host a cute birthday event, with your friends. They also have a really nice gift shop as well.

Buyer beware - the other reviews on here are not written by serious wine drinkers. How do I know?…read moreMy group came to Montifalco yesterday and was excited to try some great wines. With so many positive reviews, how could we go wrong? They set us up in the cutest little private cottage and we're so sweet. Unfortunately that's where the charm begins and ends. We got five different wines to try. The bubbly was good but the rest were awful. No one in our group of ten found them even remotely drinkable. The one red was so acidic, my friend was up until 4:00am with an upset stomach from the acid burn. It's incredibly disappointing how bad the wines are given how cute the space is and how friendly the staff is. We went back to our Airbnb and opened our own bottles afterwards to cleanse our palattes.

I'm sad it took me this long to get out here but enabled us to come on a day when only one other party was enjoying their outside area! A rare, beautiful 80 degree sunny day in July, nice music and a nice breeze make for a perfect wine sipping environment! The employees were both so incredibly nice and welcoming. We split their featured flight and there was not a single wine I didn't enjoy! Will be leaving here with a bottle or two and probably be returning very soon!

They knew their wines EXTENSIVELY and have the best customer service. The hummus plate I ordered inspired me to get the same items and make my own at home lol. The wine I had was delicious and tasted the same way it was explained to me. I'm not sure what kind of audience they are targeting, but when I went, it was mostly a 40 and up crowd (I don't mind). Aside from that, I will be back with my homegirls to enjoy more wine and food!

I had never been to this location and to my surprise this place is located inside of an establishment that has multiple specialty shops. The decor alone expressed love and care along with meeting one of the owners. She came across as warm, inviting and willing to share parts of journey in the wine space. We had great conversations with the staff about wine pairing, where the grapes are harvested so much more. The staff were so knowledgeable. Now, most of wines are dry as I am a sweet kinda girly. I was able to find a wine that fits my tastebuds. We ordered a charcuterie and flatbed pepperoni pizza. It was a great way to celebrate our Anniversary for lunch date before putting up the kids. Will most definitely return.

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!
