Friendly people, great wines and beautifull setting along the river. Nice place to try some wines in the tasting room.

Great wine, great natural location. You can even ride there on your bicycle from the VA creeper trail. My son plays in the creek while we drink wine and eat cheese. I have never had a bad experience, and have been there over 20 times.

They have a very nice variety of wines. There tasting room is very comfortable and on a nice day you can sit outside near the river.

For a $5 tasting fee you can sample wines and donate to charity at the same time. The owner was very helpful in guiding me based on the sweetness and other qualities of the wine. Creekside Blush is a sweet favorite. Beautiful winery and grounds just a little ways off the Creeper Trial.

We went on a Friday afternoon. You get to pick six wines out to sample. The place is a hidden gem back in the bottom of the mountain with a mountain stream and waterfall flowing outside on the grounds. Benches to sit on and meditate or just look at scenery. We purchased several bottles of wine and enjoyed the people at winery. All were very social and knowledgeable of their wines. Will go back again when in that area. Warning follow the signs literally to get there as the roads are under construction and you can take wrong turns. Complicated but well worth the trip.

The Abindgon Vineyard and Winery is out in the sticks. I mean it's out there. It took awhile to get to, but it was worth it. It was a lovely drive with some nice scenery and the grounds of the facility are pretty. When you go into the main building, you're met with a lot of knick knacks for sale, but we went for the wine tasting, so we bellied up to the bar. For $5, you could taste six wines. I chose mostly whites and blushes because reds give me headaches, but the people I was with had some of everything. I've got to say, I thought most of the wine was mediocre to average. I was seriously unimpressed with their riesling, which is my favorite type of wine. I did like two of them, and my wife, one of them, so we bought three bottles for $39, which seemed very reasonable. You can take a tour, but we didn't have time. Would love to return for the tour sometime. All in all, probably worth the visit, but you probably won't be bowled over by the quality of the wine.

We were on vacation and ordered the last bottle of Bare Chardonnay from a Damascus restaurant. It was a pleasant break from the oaked Chardonnays we've had before and so we decided to swing by the winery to get more. What a treat! The grounds are lovely with lots of green grass and shady spots hosting a few picnic tables. There is also a patio with a couple more picnic tables. Bring your crackers and cheese, get some wine, and you'll have a wonderful afternoon winding down from whatever stresses you need to leave behind. Inside is a tasting area with a very helpful sommelier. There are many gift items across a wide price range if you're thinking about wine lovers that unfortunately are toiling away in reality. We enjoyed the Bare Chardonnay and the white Pinot Noir. Yummy stuff.

The setting is beautiful. I had not been there for a few years & it is an impressive tasting room. Nice facility for group events as they have a separate dining area. I didn't taste all of the wines, but the ones I tasted were good. Some were better than others, but everyone's tastes in wines differ

First stop on my winery tour of southwestern Virginia. Located down a back country road, a few miles off I-81. The setting is absolutely beautiful sitting on a small hill with the vineyard behind it. The property is very shady with old buildings , a small creek running in front of the winery into the river which runs beside the winery. They have a patio off the tasting room with picnic tables and benches set around the property overlooking the creek and river. This is a small family run business with the brother in law of the owners as your tasting director. The wines are tasty with a wide variety of whites and reds with a few blushes. They offer tastings and then will sell you a glass or bottle to enjoy on the property or a number of bottles to take home. Highly recommend a quick trip off the interstate to stretch your legs, enjoy some good wine and beautiful scenery.

Great tasting (Free on weekdays!). After the tasting, we picked our favorite to sip over a picnic lunch. The view from the outdoor "patio" is really lovely. We were so relaxed. I'd recommend this venue for a bridal shower, lunch, or picnic. The wine is really an added bonus, with many different varieties. Beautiful spot right outside of Abingdon!

After an enjoyable tasting experience we bought two bottles of wine and opened one to drink beside the creek that runs through the property. It was a gorgeous setting and fun time!

We biked the Virginia Creeper and this winery is only 0.5 miles off the path. We biked there and participated in the 5 wine ($5) tasting. Then the next day we went back and went thru 2 bottles of wine and cheese and crackers. It is a very peaceful and beautiful setting. The yard is on a hill overlooking the river and there is a beautiful creek that run thru the property. The only negative is that there was no Wi-Fi available and so our teenage son was quite bored while we did the tasting.

This amazing couple made their dream come true building this successful winery and the setting is beyond beautiful. Must taste and see!

So im 18 and my parents were tasting wine so me and my friend asked for the wifi password and the owner said "I wont give it to you" with a very bad attitude. But my parents say the wine was good.

Neat place - scenic, right in the mountains, next to a stream and running river. Wonderful shop! Great wine tasting....bought a 6 different types from white to red! Bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery and tranquil atmosphere. Wonderful place to sit outside and hear the running water, sip on a bottle of wine and snack on something you bring or buy inside. We'll be back in the fall!
