The staff is extremely friendly and helpful with making recommendations. I always like to try a local variety when I stop in. They were so wonderful when I wanted to send a gift basket to my GF that was celebrating her birthday in town. They created a beautiful and bountiful basket, that she enjoyed, and even delivered it to her hotel.

We had a great experience at Katbird's. After a hard day of riding the Virginia Creeper trail we…read morewere ready for a latte. Katbird had this and more. She had some excellent pastries to satisfy our mid afternoon sugar craving, as well as a sampling of cheeses. We didn't explore the wine collection, which seems surprisingly extensive. The gifts for sale did not fit any of our needs, but the service was great, friendly and courteous.

Had a Birthday dinner here while visiting Abingdon and it seemed a few others had too! Had a…read morebirthday song from the Mayor! Food was overall very good. Our group especially liked the escargot, Brie bread, lamb and fish. The prime rib and crab cake were ok. Salad dressing I had the garlic Parmesan deserved a shout out too. There were unique cocktails and mocktails. Good service in a unique setting that I can recommend.

We had a nice dinner at The Tavern in Abingdon. The cozy atmosphere and rich history make it a…read moreunique place to dine, and Carly provided excellent, attentive service throughout our meal. They start you off with fresh bread and a delicious flavored butter, which was a great touch. Also had the escargot. We ordered the filet mignon and the chicken, both served with a house mixed greens salad. Everything was well prepared and enjoyable, though the food didn't quite wow us for the price. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're looking for good food, friendly service, and a charming historic setting.

Stopped by with my family for a wonderful time. We were gathering for a family reunion of types and…read moresomeone suggested that we all get together at MountainRose. It was an exceptionally brilliant idea. The place has a phenomenal staff (especially Opie). They were welcoming, personable and knowledgeable. They had a deep experience with wines that helped guide the experienced wine drinkers and an empathetic approach to those (aka, me) who were clueless. I (ahm, the inexperienced) were never intimidated or given the snob treatment. However, my brother who knows his way around a bottle or two (or at least actively tries to fake it) was given the appropriate insights to what he was drinking. Across the ten of us, we tried multiple different wines and they were all well liked. Many made their way home as people had to take some bottles home. You can tell that I'm an amateur because the whole "flight of wines" thing was new to me. It was brilliant to sample many different varieties in what I would call shooters to the great disappointment of my brother. Yeah, I told you he acted like he knew what he was doing. They also gave us a brief tour of the beautiful grounds as well as a look "behind the scenes". I would really recommend visiting in the fall and maybe seeing things in action. The drive is a bit "way back there", but I highly encourage you to take the trip. It's definitely worth it.

They're friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable at One Stop. Don't see what you're looking for? Just ask. One of these folks will steer you in the right direction. I came in looking for one thing and ended up finding all kinds of treasures. My friends on the other side of Knoxville can't find Tennessee Hills, so I'm the door dasher. Don't worry G-man. They're 21, pay their taxes, and recycle. Pro-tip: when you're moving, One Stop is a great place to score some free boxes.

Driving along 81 South from Staten Island, New York to visit with our family in Georgia; we were…read morestopping for the night to stay at The Hampton Inn Suites in the town of Abingdon, VA. Before retiring for the night, we searched for a place to eat and found Momma Mia Italiano Restaurant. At first we were reluctant, thinking how could an Italian restaurant be any good in a small town in Virginia. After all, we are of Italian-American descent -- so we know genuine Italian food and being the cook in our home -- I know how to cook Italian. My meatballs are renowned with our family and circle of friends. Not only are we of Italian descent, we are from NYC where there are the best restaurants in the world!!!! We have lived there over 60 years and have ate at the best! We entered the restaurant to see the entry King Kong sign about being the best -- better than NYC. I knew immediately that sign was spot on -- the restaurant smelled like my home growing up as a child on Sunday mornings! The aroma of the red tomato sauce carried us into our seats! (I think I was floating.) There were so many choices on the menu, it was difficult to make our choices. I decided on a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce and the chicken salad. My husband chose the raviolis and a side salad. The dinner included Italian garlic bread! The service from our server was divine: friendly, courteous and professional. The owner/chef visited us at the table a few times to be sure everything was alright, and it was MORE THAN alright. The food was "delicioso! We are so grateful that God brought us to this awesome restaurant in Abingdon, VA!! We'll be back!

The wine is fantastic (try a wine slushee during the summer when they have them) Try the Red Hawk, you will not be disappointed. Also a fan of the honeysuckle, although my husband is thoroughly impressed with most of them! I am not a wine drinker quite like he is so those are two of my favorites when I do decide to indulge. The wine slushees are fantastic to me and him alike. They offer a wide variety of snacks and drinks you can purchase or you can bring your own cheese and crackers along! We love going for the music and food truck events and we drive about 2 hours just to visit, so we definitely recommend! Situated right on the river you can enjoy the water while you enjoy all the vineyard offers!
