The Winery at Bull Run

"Attending The Winery at Bull Run on a Sunday for a wine tasting tour in May was a delightful experience, despite arriving a bit late. The lively crowd added to the atmosphere, though our tardiness meant missing out on some of the initially available food and goodies for kids. Unfortunately, the timing didn't allow for viewing grapes on the vineyard, but the overall enjoyment of the event made it a worthwhile visit."

"The winery has such a great view and its so nice to sit outside in the summer. Lots of wine options but most if not all are on the dry side which was disappointing. The wines we did try were alright but nothing exceptional, although the person who walked us through our tasting was very knowledgeable. Food options included yummy pizza and a food truck. Live music outside on the weekends"

"Came for a tasting and the wines were good! They do the tastings at the counter and give you descriptions as they pour. All of the staff was very nice and attentive. Great place for tastings if you like low sugar wines. You also get to take your wine glass home with you. The venue itself is beautiful! Out in the adults only patio and yard, there are plenty of picnic tables to sit and enjoy the view of the vineyards. It's gorgeous! And when we went there was nice live music. And the preserved foundation of a house built before the prohibition was very cool. We want to come back again for some wine and food with friends."

"Just want to say at the start that the 4 star rating is not due to the quality of the wine. Rather it's due to the fairly high cost for both wines and tasting along with some of their other rules about no coolers, comments on kids, pets, etc. Just doesn't come across as very friendly. We did a tasting of 6 wines, 2 white, 1 rose, and 3 reds, for $18 each and a bottle of wine is $30+ each. So for 6 wines per tasting this is hands down the most I've ever paid for a tasting in VA (a LOT), CA, AZ, NY, SC, NC, IN, KY, MI, GA, PA, WV, and TX. To be fair the wines we tasted were very good,but there just wasn't that many for the cost. We did have a very nice person doing the pours and the pours were generous. My personal favorite was definitely the Chardonnay. They have a very nice tasting area with both indoor and outdoor seating. No kitchen here (or food trucks the day I was there) but some munchies in a cooler for purchase."

"Nice, fairly new winery in Virginia. Large grounds with picturesque setting and ample parking. Many outside tables plus some covered and inside sitting areas. We tasted 6 wines, 3 white and 3 red. The whites were average, but the reds were very good, in particular the Meritage. We then ordered a bottle of the Meritage plus a made-to-order pizza (which was very good with a crispy crust) and sat at one of the outside benches to soak up the sunshine and scenery. Staff at the tasting counter were very friendly. They had a good guitarist as entertainment. Probably would rate at 4 1/2 stars with the average whites but give benefit of good reds, etc. and went with a 5. Worth a visit."
