The wine was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The view was lovely, and we enjoyed some great to-go beers from the brewery as well. Honestly, what more could you want?

We are members ourselves, but I must address the owner's negligence during our recent visit. Since Rockbridge is dog-friendly, we brought our dog along. The owner attempted to introduce his chocolate lab to ours, but his dog was aggressive. When he tried again, he lost control of his dog, which ended up biting mine and causing me to fall out of my seat. In the process, my fiancé was also nipped. We didn’t feel comfortable asking the owner to step away at the time, but looking back, I wish we had. While I take some responsibility, this situation was careless, unsafe, and unprofessional, especially coming from the owner of a winery. We are now considering canceling our membership. We truly love the winery, but we want to raise awareness for others who may bring their dogs.

We tried a little bit of everything from beer to wine! The Meritage was excellent! Looking forward to going back, thanks again for a memorable day ??

They have several estate grown wines to choose from, red white and some dessert wines as well. Also on the weekend they have a brewery with about eight varieties of beer. Dog friendly, plenty of places to sit either inside or outside. Many weekends they have live music and food trucks.
