点评:Was in Charlottesville for business and had some time to kill so came here on a weekday. Location is convenient and picturesque. The system in place here lacks in making it feel like a real wine tasting, however. They pour four samples depending on your choice (reds, whites or sweet) and leave it up to you to do your own thing. If you are someone who appreciates talking about the winemaker, style and history, this is not the location for you. And if you have questions about the winemaker, order of drink in or even want to see the bottles you will be met with short answers and made to feel you were interrupting something more important. The wines are okay, but not great. Their private label a scab Franc were the best options on the red tasting (compared to the merlot and petit Verdot). Overall a nice piece of history but your $20 (by the way they don’t accept cash) is better spent at other nearby wineries.
