Gorgeous drive up to the property and the view from the tasting area is equally stunning. We were running on "lazy Saturday time" and showed up about five minutes before closing, but everyone was very welcoming and let us partake in a full tasting nonetheless. We wound up buying several bottles on our way out. Our favorites are the Claret and the Rose. Definitely planning a repeat visit in the spring!
Lovely winery with wonderful selection and beautiful grounds. The wines were some of the best in the area and we will be returning.
A frequent visitor of this winery, their wines are among the very best in Virginia and truly among the very best in the US. The staff is always so attentive and knowledgeable and their tasting room is a perfect atmosphere.
You have to drive a ways to get there, but the wines are worth it!The owner-winemaker began his career in Ohio, our home state.Wines are well made as evidenced by some being unavailable for tasting. Emphasis on wine and not the tastng room. Works for us!They do sell cheese and sausage and have a seating area. Great summer sausage!Would go back!
I personally found the wines to be overrated but satisfactory. The charm is in the open, covered porch overlooking the vineyards. Nicely prepared food/dining menu offered too.
This is our absolute favorite vineyard in Virginia. Jim Law, the vintner is an artist and takes pride in all aspects of his work. This wine is excellent. His wines ages exceptionally well, and some of our favorites include the Avenius Chardonnay, and the Hardscrabble. His dessert wine, the late harvest vidal is amazing and turns into liquid gold as it ages. One of our favorite weekend outings is driving to Linden, getting glass of wine, and having cheese and fresh warm baguette on the deck. I'm not sure where they get those baguettes, but they are amazing. Thanks for making good wine Jim. We really appreciate it.
Everything about this vineyard is perfect - the views, the hospitality, the fresh cheeses...and the wine. From the always unique red blends to the always perfect Vidal-Riesling, wine maker Jim Law and the Linden staff will make your visit a truly memorable experience.One of my favorite places in the state of Virginia
We have been going to VA wineries for about 20 years - this is our absolute favorite winery. Not only are the wines excellent, they serve wonderful local cheeses and fresh baguettes. The atmosphere is relaxing - nothing like sitting on the deck - or in the back room with a fire going on a cold day - with a good glass of wine and some cheese, sausage and baguettes. If you haven't visited this place, you are missing out!
We went for valentines day for a wine tasting and sat out on the deck to have a cheese plate afterwards. The house red and the dessert white were our favorite but the views from the deck were breathtaking. It was a little off the beaten path to drive there especially in the snow but luckily we had 4 wheel drive so we made it! There is also a cool tour of the wine cellar that happens at noon on certain days that is worth checking out although we enjoyed just sipping our wine out on the deck a bit more. Overall a great winery with amazing views.
We didn't notice glasses of wine for sale or food. However, the wines and the service were very nice. We were hesitant to even enter the premises after reading some of the reviews. I say "Give it a try and see for yourself" because we basically have no complaints.
