We were looking for something to do on a chilly November day, and chose to give this winery a try based on the reviews. We love red wine, particularly from California. While the wines here can't compete with California, we give it 4 stars because the wines are better than a number of other east coast wineries we have visited. Better than Vermont, better than Cape May, and better than Chads Ford. The grounds are nice. The tasting room is small, but adequate. It is open year round. The self guided tour is simple, and does not take long. We've been to better ones, but again, for east coast it is ok. Even learned something about corks I did not know. Tasting is only $5, and though the glass is small, you get to keep it. If you are looking for something different while at the beach, this is a good reasonably priced attraction that is nearby and does not take long to do.

Went to a wedding here and just had to comment how beautiful it was. The food was excellent and so were the wines! If you're in the market for a venue, it's a must see!!

My wife and I stopped by here on our way from Georgetown to our hotel in Rehoboth Beach. The grounds are very lovely, and the facilities right off of the parking lot. We tasted 10 wines and found a few to our liking. Very friendly staff, and our tasting fee of $10.00 per person was waived as we bought two bottles. You also get to keep the glass from the tasting. It was quite nice to find a quality winery here in coastal DE.

We traveled 2 1/2 hours and entered the winery at approximately 4:42 pm. They close at 5:00 pm. The tasting counter had approximately 8 people already being served. We stood there waiting for the server to acknowledge us but she was too busy socializing with the customers who had already been there for an hour doing their tasting. Finally at exactly 4:45 she asked if she could help us. There was also another couple who came in at the same time as we did. We said we're here to do a tasting to which she replied tastings are over! I said your hours say 5:00 and she said tastings end at 4:45. I said we were here Before 4:45 but you ignored us. The appropriate and professional greeting should have been to tell us immediately when we walked in that it was last call for tastings. But instead refused us service once the clock hit 4:45. She was too busy catering to the other people and didn't want to start another tasting since she said state rules require it stop at 4:45. Perhaps since it was Labor Day weekend they should have had more than just 1 person working. Then she told us to come back the next day. I will never go back nor will I ever buy their wine. Don't go there unless you want to be treated with disrespect and lack of courtesy. The customer is always right definitely doesn't apply here !!!!!

I am from upstate Delaware. Ive heard this Winery was great...needless to say it was not what I expected. Their retail room looks like a junked up closet. There are piles upon piles of paper and boxes thrown everywhere. And where the register is located they have tons of little pieces of paper simply taped to the wall.. EXTREMELY unprofessional to say the least.The woman working at the counter was very kind but needed help because there was myself and 4 other people in the room waiting to taste and purchase. There was another woman but she left, I believe her name was Peggy?Long story short I'm not going back. The retail room was cluttered, not clean. and my wine was served to me overtop of stacks of paper. This is ridiculous to be served this way especially at a winery that is advertised as award winning. I would not recommend this winery to anyone. Presentation and First Impressions are everything...both of which Nassau Valley Vineyards lacks.

We were staying in Lewes, DE and the weather turned cold and rainy. Not a good beach day.Decided to check this place out. Getting there was a little dicey because we had to cross 4 lanes of congested beach traffic, but once across Rt 1, it was less than 5 minutes to the Vineyards.The first few parking spots were full, but there was ample space in a graveled lot in the back of the property. Walking back we passed 2 buildings on our way to the wine tasting room. They are used for parties, wedding receptions, etc. We enjoyed peeking through the windows and checking out a reception they were setting up. The grounds are charming: lots of flowers and rustic buildings. I don't recall seeing any picnic tables or outdoor seating, but they may have been there. The rain drove us inside pretty quick. The entrance to the winery itself is behind a massive door. There were 2 people working at the tasting bar. Not nearly enough for the number of people there. The woman was sorta gruff, but she was trying to collect the fee as well as describe and pour wine and answer questions. The man was sweet, but kinda quiet. The $5 fee gets you a souvenir wine glass and your choice of 6 tastes of about 12 wines. We wandered around reading the many posters and pictures of the vineyard and wine-making until the gruff lady indicated there was room for us to begin our tastings. I'm not going discuss the wine because I am no expert and tastes differ widely when it comes to wine. Hubby and I liked the peach wine and we did buy a couple of bottles in the gift shop. The gift shop is small with limited selection, but I thought the prices were fair. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but it wasn't a half bad way to kill a rainy afternoon at the beach.

We have stopped here several times on our way home from our yearly trip to Rehoboth Beach. The grounds are beautiful. Nice variety of wines. There is a $5 tasting fee, which is not applied to a purchase. They really want you to go through the museum, even though we've been there several times, before you taste the wine. Wine is expensive $15-$25 / bottle. Would go back again.

Nassau Valley Vineyards has been advertised all around southern Delaware and a little upstate as Delaware's AWARD WINNING and first Vineyard. You would think with such advertising they would present themselves in a better way.My Daughter had her wedding out there and although the buildings were decorated nicely the woman who was "in-charge", her name is Peggy, was very flustered and seemed to be disorganized. My daughter had her wedding booked for months with Nassau Valley Vineyards....and to be running around cleaning the bathrooms and I believe she was leaf blowing...hours before my daughter walks down the isle is unacceptable. We paid a lot of money for this place.These "maintenance" tasks should have been done before hand. We had guests showing up and the woman was still cleaning.Nassau Valley Vineyards is a nice Vineyard but they truly lack in Presentation and Organization.If they work on that this could be a wonderful attraction for Southern Delaware.

A self guided tour with interesting information. A small art show also taking place...tasted their wines for the first time and they were quite enjoyable...pretty winery..a nice stop to fit into your trip...

After visiting friends in New Jersey, my wife and took the Cape May-Lewes Beach ferry instead of I-95 to start our trip back home to North Carolina. As she likes to browse the shops in the area , we take this route from time to time. Apparently she was talking to one of the other guests at the hotel where we stayed and they mentioned that there was a winery in the area which turned out to be about 15 minutes from our hotel. As I write a wine column for our local newspaper, I had no great expectations but thought it might be interesting and to me almost anything beats going from store to store. We found the vineyard/winery with no problem. It has a small parking area out front-perhaps 15 cars and the entire setup was small but set amongst the vineyards where some of the grapes are grown which are made into their wines. As they have about 4 acres under production, they source some of their juice from other vineyards both within and outside of Delaware. The woman behind the counter was quite knowledgeable about the wines produced at the site and was very friendly and attentive. There were 2 other couple when we arrived. There is a $5 charge per person and they give you a list of 14 wines and you get to pick 6. As is proper, they start with a light Pinot Grigio and end the list with sweet wines 2 made from fruits I(Peach and Blueberry) and one white and Red sweet wine. As I am not a sweet wine fan although I would never turn down a Sauterne, I found several good choices. The wines were better than I expected. A decent Cabernet Sauvignon and a vintners blend comprised of Cabernet Franc (53%), Chambourcin (37%) and Merliot (10%). Aged for 13 months this wine in 100 % new French Oak, the wine is pretty good and has some tannins which give it aging potential. I dislike paying full retail for wine but I did buy 6 bottles including 2 of their Rose which is in the French style which makes it a lot of steps up from Blush wine. I think the Rose will pair well with light BBQ fare or Pizza and even with cheese (cheddar), crackers and grapes. I found the time well spent and there was a self guided tour which included some historical wine related items such as old bottles and corkscrews and a number of pictures and a description of the winery and how they go about producing their wines. They also sell a limited amount of wine related items. I would recommend stropping for a visit. It was a good surprise. The phone number is 303-645-wineand the address is 32165 Winery Way Lewes Beach Delaware 19958..
