Wonderful selection of estate grown wines the consistency of which will surprise you. Attentive cellar staff who know what they're doing make the trip very enjoyable.
We really enjoyed trying some of the specialties and hanging with the team at Rappahannock (especially the NJ natives!). While we arrived just ten minutes before closing time, they were very accommodating and fit us in for a slightly smaller tasting menu, but let us relax and take our time nonetheless. The barn area is beautiful and super spacious, yet cozy at the same time. Looking forward to future visits!
We enjoyed touring the new facility and, of course, the wine. The family is such a delight and it over flows to the staff. It is, by far, our favorite winery
Amazing scenery and wonderful wine! I enjoy this winery so much a finally joined their club and took a case home with me.
We enjoyed the wine tasting. Our hostess was so much fun! It is a beautiful setup. Although we were there on a cold day in November, I can only image how gorgeous it would be in the spring or fall!
The most important part of any winery is the wine, and the wines here are very good. They make very good whites as well as reds. They are probably best known for the great Viogner and their Meritage wines. They also make two excellent desert style wines. One is very similar to a Port, and the other, called Solera, is very different wine. It has a caramel nutty flavor. It is made very differently than most wines. It is made in large clear vessels and placed on the roof. The facility is very nice with a warm feel to it. The staff is very friendly and several of the family work there. Definitely worth a stop if you are anywhere nearby.
Really enjoyed our brief visit to Rappahanock Cellars and staff were most pleasant and understanding of desire to bring home a nice wine from the region...thanks
One of our favorite wineries in Va. We 1st visited in 2012 on our way to see DMB in Charlottesville. Loved the wines and atmosphere. Stopped in again in 2013. Once again great wines. Joined the wine club that time. We do live in Pa but they would hold our wine until pick up was the clincher. That and the 50% off cases. We enjoy visiting Va wineries. The reds are outstanding. It makes a great weekend trip to visit the area. Plenty of restaurants and history. Going back in November with friends. Want them to taste what we found.
The people were wonderful, the atmosphere cozy, and the wine was delicious! We visited Rappahannock on a snowy afternoon and got wonderful service with our tasting with Sheri! What a delightful place. I love that there are so many wineries around Virginia but very few have any reds that I really love - but Rappahannock really should be every local red drinker's go to vineyard. I would definitely recommend it! Cheers!
Have enjoyed their wines in the past and was able to visit once again on a recent weekend. We were impressed with the additions to their facilities and look forward to going back.
