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!

We found this adorable winery the day after Christmas and I'm glad we did. The property is absolutely beautiful and the inside was very cozy. The tasting room provided a 360 view of the property through large glass windows. We passed the time playing cards and games located on site. The staff was very friendly and accommodating making wonderful recommendations. I love their flights and how neat the design is. We even got a bottle of their holiday spice win to go.

Nestled on the top of a hill overlooking the grape hedgerows, Star in the Valley's tasting room is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a glass or 2. Ample seating for all group sizes, we came on a Saturday afternoon and had no problem grabbing a table. Service: 5/5. The staff operating the tasting room we're great! Very helpful in offering recommendations and giving us a brief background story of the vineyard. Wine: 5/5. I have always held mixed feelings for Virginia wine, however Star in the Valley's offerings were decent. We opted to do 2 wine flights which allowed us to try their entire wine portfolio. Highlights from the tasting we're the Cab Franc, Chardonel and the dry rose. All in all, fun wines and an even better atmosphere!

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.
