My fiance and I visited the vineyard while staying at The Inn at Montross. The wine was reasonably priced and great to taste. We purchased a couple of bottles to enjoy that weekend.We also lucked out and were able to chat with the owners while staying at the Inn. Very interesting individuals and great to meet the owners behind the operation!A great place to stop when visiting the Northern Neck and doing some vineyard hopping.
The wines here were all pretty good, and the tasting room was quite spacious. The GRV white and red were very inexpensive table wines. We had a couple of the food choices as well which were delicious. They also have a couple of options available to rent rooms on the property. Could make for a nice weekend escape with friends.
We enjoyed our tasting at General's Ridge. It was a pleasant day and the windows allowed for a nice view. It was a Sunday and not all that busy, and the host explained the wines to us and told us about the winery which was very enjoyable. No rush no pressure and we found 2 nice wines.
Inexpensive wines and tastings but very good for the money. Nice facilities and good food. Not a bad wine in our tastings. Very knowledgeable staff.
We had decided to do a little tour of winery's in the Middle Peninsula/Northern Neck Area. General's Ridge is a pretty, small winery. The wines were okay -- not fantastic. The person who did the tasting was delightful and we had a good time talking.
My husband and I had visited the winery in the summer and heard about the accommodations that were available to rent nightly, so we decided to come back with another couple for a weekend visit and stay at the Manor House, a 3-bedroom antebellum home located right in the middle of the vineyards. Included in the cost of lodging was a bottle of wine and a wine tasting for everyone - and this vineyard knows their wine - each of us ended up buying 12 bottles! The Manor House is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy the fabulous views...even in the late Fall. The staff of the winery - a make it or break it in my opinion - is absolutely phenomenal and Susan, who we've done two tastings with, is someone who truly loves what she does and represents the vineyard well. We only live a few hours away, but love visiting the Northern Neck because it feels like a million miles away....I think the Manor House has become our new "go to" when in the area because we have to stock up on the great GRV wine!
We had a great time at General's Ridge. The owner is a retired Marine Corps General who clearly loves making wine. Staff is great and makes the wine tasting quite fun. The General's Red wine (a merlot and chamborin blend) was my favorite wine.
My husband and I enjoyed all the wines offered & bought a few to take home! Definitely worth the visit. Recommend.
Linda and Rick, We had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much for your recommendations and most of all your hospitality. Vineyard Views was perfect for us. We had a great weekend with great food and lots of wine. We loved it. Trish and Jon Hill
The large selection of wines were very good and the salmon platter and smoked oysters were fantastic!!! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Came out with several bottles of very reasonably priced wines.
