Favorite Wine: Harmony, Vidal Blanc, Red Barren

Situated in the scenic scape of Fishersville, Barren Ridge is a converted apple orchard barn turned vineyard, combining updated wine-making practices with classic farm architecture. The tasting room, outdoor seating area, and surrounding fields of vines are quite a sight to see. The whites are a good range of sweet, tart, and fruity. The reds have hints of chocolate, violet, pepper, and vanilla.

This is one of my favorite Vineyards. They have a wonderful selection of wines. From crisp white wines to dark a full bodied reds. I love there Tinkling Springs -white, Touriga and Cabernet Franc is ... is well yummy!! I love the building that the tasting room is in. The owners have done a wonderful job at making you feel right at home at their place. The wood in the downstairs part of the winery is from the Old Apple Barn/Orchard that was on the property that belong to owners grandfather (I think I have the story straight.. if not sorry...blame it on the great wine they have). They have a wonderful stone fireplace that really can pull you in on a chill day. The outdoor patio area has an amazing view of the rolling hills of the vineyard...breath taking! The upstairs of the vineyard is a beautiful room for receptions and other events. The vineyard has two dogs who get the run of the place. They are such sweet dogs...Rascal and Duse(sp?). The entire staff is friendly and warm. They are willing to take time to answer any and all question thrown their way. I adore this place ... from the casual atmosphere to the outstanding wines. On a side note: I was married here in May of 2010. I loved it!!
