Thank you so much for your wonderful review and you are correct with your analysis of our tastings and we will be instituting a new policy ASAP. Thank you for the recommendation.

I went this winery yesterday. I have to say I love the view, and the wine tasting was great as well. The only thing it was very crowded, and no one around to let us know where to go or direct us. Other than that it was Avery nice day. Would go back!

My husband and I came here as a couples relaxation day. The staff was extremely polite and accommodating. The inside was very clean as well as very organized. When we went, there was a lot of snow, but they did a wonderful job of making sure the parking lot and driveway was clear for visitors. There prices for there wine, beer and liquors were very reasonable priced. We will definitely be returning here in the sprig/summer.

We visited Nashoba Valley Winery on a cold rainy Saturday. We did a wine tasting and it was wonderful. We also learned that they did beer and whiskey tastings. Definitely another visit in the future. Staff was wonderful and selection is phenomenal.

Whenever we make our annual pilgrimage to New England Nashoba is always our last stop, the icing on the cake, so to speak, of our week-long adventures. This year, however, was so vastly different an experience that it's doubtful we'll ever return to this winery.For one thing, the Nashoba no longer ships out of state(or each winery must purchase a license to sell to different states and my state is now 'out'). Considering we always ordered one to two cases of wine that makes for a serious problem if we wish to bring more than a bottle or two of wine home with us. Of course, the sommelier might have offered up the suggestion to simply check one or two cases of wine as luggage (many airlines give you one to two free checked bags that must stay under 50 lbs. and a case of wine typically weighs around 40 lbs.). Had I known this was a possibility we may have bought a case. However, based on the service we probably wouldn't have anyway.Speaking of service, past sommeliers at Nashoba have been generous in letting us taste a couple other wines/beers/spirits beyond the $6 for five tastes as Nashoba has such an extensive choice and five tastes barely makes a dent in all the offerings. Further, the tastes this time were barely the equivilant to a sip due, the sommelier said, to the fact that she did not have the metal wine measurer on the bottles. Hmmm. Furthermore, there were two other couples finishing up their wine tasting when we arrived and the sommelier had to jump from one group to the other, often leaving us for five to ten minutes between samplings. An occasional employee walked through the room but never offered to help. Another hmmmm, especially when the sommelier had to fill two or three large stout ale containers which takes a very long time indeed.With all this being said, it looks like a once-treasured tradition has come to an end. We will find another excursion to finish off our New England stay, or find a winery that ships to my state. Until Nashoba changes its policies and becomes more generous in its tastings we will probably not return.

We enjoy visiting wineries and have toured many throughout New York, California and Italy. Yesterday was our first visit to Nashoba Valley Winery, and it was so much more than we expected.Upon our initial approach to the entrance, we were a bit apprehensive at the sight of 400-500 people crowding a hillside at picnic tables. We also thought it a bit odd to purchase drink tickets for a wine tasting, being more accustomed to wine tasting counters with 6 or 8 guests tasting from a small selection of wines. This was different, but we liked it.The crowds at Nashoba Valley Winery are partially due to its proximity to Boston but, more importantly, due to the quality of the experience. The sales room is beautifully designed and furnished, adjacent to perhaps the largest tasting counter that I have ever encountered, with maybe 60 or 80 people crowded at the bar. Another bar served the Boston Beer Works beers that are also produced here, and an outdoor tasting area (that we used) served the same wines and spirits that were available at the large indoor serving area. Yes, not just wines, but also beers and spirits.For a $6.00 fee, you get a very nice etched red wine glass (not the more typical tasting glass that you usually find at wineries) and 5 drink tickets, each of which can be redeemed for a taste of any wine, beer, or spirit. The only exception is their new single malt whiskey, which is $3.00 per pour. Yes, you get to bring your glass home. Each person may purchase up to 2 sets of tickets. We purchased 10 tickets for $12.00 per person, which included 10 samples and 2 souvenir glasses for each of us. We did not sample the beers, but we were very pleased with the selection of wines (both fruit wines and conventional wines from grapes) and spirits. Some of the spirits were quite exceptional cordials, including one called Northern Comfort which is made using pure maple syrup from Dufresne Sugar House, in our home town of Williamsburg, Massachusetts. Most of the fruit and grapes used at Nashoba Valley Winery are grown either at the winery, in Massachusetts, or in New England or nearby New York state. An exception are some of the apples which, not surprisingly, come from Washington state.We arrived mid-afternoon and stayed until closing. We did not have an opportunity to dine at J’s Restaurant, but the menu looks really appealing. The following day the winery was going to be hosting a large (sold out) outdoor music event called the Blues and Brews Festival. The winery also hosts weddings and other special events, includes a large outdoor picnic area (that we spotted in our initial approach) in a very scenic setting, and has pick-your-own apples, peaches and plums, in season.The staff members who we encountered were all very friendly and knowledgeable, despite the fact that we were there at the end of a very busy Saturday. It is a bit of a drive from our home in Western Massachusetts, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the winery. We recommend it, and we will return for a longer outing in the future.

I've had many a visit to Nashoba Winery, and here is my advice for maximizing your visit:1. Invite group of fun people. Designate driver.2. Pack cooler of cheese, cured meats, pasta salad, and cookies. Bottled water is good too.3. Purchase 10 tickets per person to sample ALL the things. 4. Purchase your favorite bottles of wine. Remember to bring your empty growler for a refill!5. Stake out a picnic table in the sun, kick-back and enjoy life.

You can bring your own lunch or have them prepare one for you (certain days only, order ahead). The wine tasting is always fun, but I mainly go for after work drinks and to enjoy the scenery.

We went to the Nashoba Valley Winery on Sunday of Columbus Day weekend. What a lovely place. We decided not to go through the tour, but we did participate in the wine tasting. The tour was $10 and you got pre-picked tasting, but for $6 you were able to choose 6 tastings of wine, spirits or beer. We sat out at the tables as we tried our tastings. You could also pick apples. If we wanted to do that we would come back earlier in the season to get the kinds we liked. There was also a restaurant however we didn't eat there.Would go back. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful!

Went there for the first time yesterday.Beautiful property with lots of picnic tables in a large open field.We did not participate in the tasting because it was a bit too crowded when we were there.Purchased a bottle of Merlot ( $14 ) and headed outside to a nice table in the sun.We packed our own lunch.Relaxed there for about an hour.....very nice....will go back again and may try the tasting.
