Winery: Ambiance: 
The atmosphere is wonderful, but they are very proud of their wines. The most expensive of the vineyards we visited but we did enjoy the cheese plate with a flight of the wines.

Wine: Winery: 
Ambiance:
The bottles were definitely the best part. Some decent wines, but not much atmosphere. I must say that the display of the wines on the wall in front of the window was an excellent presentation.

Favorite Wine: Spicy Rivanna
Very friendly owners and very enjoyable visit. The Spicy Rivanna is a very unique wine that we will be saving for the winter. Excellent visit.

Favorite Wine: Rkatsiteli
This was our favorite vineyard, if for no other reason than the tasting was free. :) They had the widest variety of wines and probably the favorite of all the wines we tasted, the Rkatsiteli. Very imformative employees and a lot of fun to visit.

Favorite Wine: Vintage Rose
Enjoyed the experience and the history of the site. The ruins of the house designed by Thomas Jefferson was an added bonus. Very busy on the day we were there, but they were able to handle the crowd with grace.

Favorite Wine: Norton
Very nice atmosphere and very informative tasting. We are new to the wine scene and the person who helped us with the tasting was very patient and worked well with us.
