Favorite Wine: Phileo

We've always loved Barboursville, but it can get quite crowded and rushed, and you're forced to move from tasting station to station. On our last visit, we booked a reservation at the restaurant and had a lovely, leisurely lunch, with plenty of great wines to try and enjoy.

Haven't visted yet, but have enjoyed the wines on several occasions.

We enjoy visiting Barboursville. The design for tasting has the guest moving down the wine bar which works well when not too crowded. The wines are nice, but there is lots of competition now as we have so many wonderful wineries in the area! Tasting fee includes the glass, and the restuarant is excellent.

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.

The owners are from Italy.. a bit "big" on themselves, but always had a nice experience there. Haven't been there since 2004, actually owned 30 acres of land across from them for a while. Sold it to the winery as my plans to open a B&B faded. Non the less, good wines. Nice place to spend an afternoon... cool ruins.

This winery has too much going on. The wine tasting lacked structure, it was incredibly chaotic and unenjoyable. Couple that with wine that isn't "great" - it made for a lousy experience. We will not be returning.
