  NOT WORTH YOUR TROUBLE EITHER!!! At their gift shop....the lady behind the register was very condescending and a bit of a SmartA$$ when I asked her a simple question. Also, the stuff ( jellies, jams, wines ect.) on the shelves were dirty and dusty, which make you wonder how old they are.OH!!!....I only gave them 1 star because you can't submit a review with giving them something. They didn't even deserve this one :(

  Stopped by the Peaks of Otter winery just to see what they had. It is FREE wine tasting and boy did we taste. The combinations go from nice to outrageous. Started with blackberry cobbler and ended with Kiss the Devil (a wine that consist of 30 varieties of peppers, yes HOT peppers). Mostly all sweet wines with zany fun to be had by all.

  We stopped by the Peaks of Otter Winery as part of a day trip while visiting Smith Mountain lake. I'm glad we did. The wine tasting was fun, and we left with a few bottles of delicious fruit wine.

  My family and I (an adult only visit) went to Peaks of Otter because it was not too far from Roanoke and we were looking to do some wine tasting. We had a wonderful time. There was A LOT of wine to taste and we enjoyed a visit to see the animals. If you are looking to do some laid back wine tasting, this is definitely the place to go. The photo I included was a very funny one, it was after the very last wine we tasted.

  I like it due to the fact that it is family oriented. I will most likely go back. It can get quite warm in the summer.

  Apples and more apples. Nothing could compare with the peaches that old Mr. Ike Rose used to produce. The wine is terrible. Danny needs to go to school..

  Please don't be fooled by the name. We were traveling on the Blue Ridge parkway and saw the "Peaks of Otter" wine in the gift store. We decided to explore the winery which proved to be a total waste of time. This place is not a winery but rather an apple orchard with a few lines of grapes to show off. No real cellars and no real technology. The wine is most probably made by mixing cedar or a cheap white wine with a fruit flavors. We figured it out rather quickly and shifted our attention towards other things in the store and ended up buying a few jars of jam and a honey instead. The jams and the honey proved to be of a very low quality though. The only thing which was more or less good was the apple butter. I guess, if you want a jar of a decent apple butter, you can go there, otherwise, don't bother.

  My wife just started drinking wine and we pass this place every weekend on our way to visit family. So we decided to stop in and check it out. It is winter time so the only thing going on it the little wine shop. (Although we were told that during the summer they have various activities for kids and families.) Walking in we were greeted by a very nice lady who was quick to offer any help she could and offered a wine sampling. All of the wines that i samples except one were very sweet wines. This is not the place to come looking for dry red wines. This is fruit punch with a kick. Which we like. After sampling who knows how many i walked away with 4 bottles. No need for me telling you which is the best.... Strawberry shortcake, pear, passion fruit, mango, and about 15 other ones. Go check it out and pick your favorite. Its free and something to do on the weekend. They were all very good. I also picked up some 4 bean salad which was very good. Tasted like granny's..... So now this is a every sunday stop. Passion fruit is the best... :)

  July always brings the "Horse & Hound Festival" to the Johnson's Orchard each year. We attend to see the horse exhibits, the dogs having fun with their owners, arts and crafts & delicious food for sale & various wineries offering samples from their vineyards. A band performs wonderful music on stage throughout the festivities. It's always a fun time for all!
