The drive up the hill from I66 to Fox Meadow Winery was interesting and slightly steep, but the views from the top were amazing!The back deck at this winery has some amazing views of many rows of mountain ranges! Definitely can't wait to go back on a nicer day to enjoy their nice wines from the deck!They don't have a chardonnay, their dry white is a pinot grigio, with their pinot gris being slightly sweeter. Their reds are nice. Tasting is a great way to experience their wines as well as a small pairing of treats that go well with them.Staff is very friendly.
Stopped by for a wine tasting. Staff pleasant, selections minimal. Had to stand the entire time for the tasting...would have been nice to have seating, take off your coats and relax. Tasting was rushed.
We did not care for the wines at this location. Theres a wine for everyone but Fox Meadow did not have one that we enjoyed.
Despite the beautiful views and well made wines you should strongly consider going elsewhere (to another area winery like Linden or Naked Mountain) where the owners and staff have customer friendly policies and attitudes. The number of rules that Fox Meadow has (such as no food or drink - even water bottles - may be brought onto the property; no groups, etc) are staggering and their zealousness in enforcement is mindblowing. Whatever you do, be sure to avoid joining their club without thoroughly reading ALL of the fine print as they will force you to incur inconvenient purchases and shipping costs despite their marketing talk that makes it sound almost non-committal (since you pay a $25 annual NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES fee to join).We would recommend avoiding this place and go elsewhere.
Fox Meadow is a wonderful, small, comfortable winery high on a “mountain” (or ridge) in Linden, Virginia. On entering the establishment we were immediately greeted by a member of the staff and found ourselves participating in a wine tasting within minutes. There were five or six wines as part of the tasting, two or three with food pairings, and a bonus wine. All wines were excellent, and came with an explanation from our hostess of that particular wine’s history. The explanation was brief, but questions were welcome. At the conclusion of tastings you can order a glass or bottle of wine if interested, and enjoy the outstanding views from inside the facility or outside on the deck. A wine tasting at Fox Meadow winery is a delightful way to spend an hour or two any afternoon! It’s not just the wine, which is great, but the total experience of wine, information, friendly and helpful staff, and view. Well worth your time!
It was all good and the friendly people are the reason to go........................................................................
I have visited Fox Meadow twice now. Both times, I have been happy with the service and wines. Some of our favorite wines are the Freezeland Red and Freezland White. The Blue Mountain Mist is also a nice sipping wine. They have a spectacular view overlooking the mountains and vineyards. It's very peaceful and serene.
We stopped at Fox Meadow Winery as part of a fall foliage drive in October. The view was outstanding as were the fall colors. We could see about 4 lines of mountains in the distance from the deck. Enjoyed a low key tasting and then sat on the deck enjoying the beautiful fall weather and a nice glass of wine. We were there in the middle of the week when it was slow so can not comment how it would be during a busy weekend.
The wine is among the best in Northern Virginia. The staff is friendly and the wrap-around deck provides plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the spectacular mountain views.
There is an outside deck where you have a wonderful view of the mountains. Pair that with friendly service and nice wines and you have Fox Meadow. We tasted whites and reds. Some of the wines were paired with cheese and nuts. We had a glass of meritage, a baguette, and cheese after our tasting. We sat on the deck overlooking the beautiful mountains. This winery is very peaceful. It is now one of our favorites.
