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!

These aren't your standard hard ciders - they're not carbonated, more wine-like. And that's not a bad thing! We tasted their regular 8 ciders plus a seasonal offering.

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. If you're in the area please give this place a try! You won't be disappointed.

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!

They have a nice, open seating area with plenty of covered space. I highly recommend bringing your own snacks or food because there aren't many food options. This place is definitely pet-friendly, too. We saw many happy puppies running around and enjoying the day. As for the drinks, they offer standard flights, glasses, and bottles. We tried the XoXo, Gold Label, and a few of their red and white wines. Some of them had impressive flavors, although I think there is still room for improvement. The service was good, and the staff were friendly. However, my biggest issue and especially for the men, is that they only have one men's restroom. I honestly don't understand the concept. With so many visitors, they definitely need more restrooms for men. Otherwise, they might end up with some very unhappy customers! Overall, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the calm breeze. I would suggest turning the music down a little so people can enjoy some conversation. And, sorry to say, but the band wasn't exactly my favorite.
