Castle Glen Winery

CandyOur server Candy was very cordial & accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st wine tasting experience in VA since arriving from Cali. Definitely would come back again!

Excellent, clean, spacious winery. They have a Bubble Bar with 7 rotating sparkling wines for $35 a tasting. Wine club members $25. In addition they have 4 different wine tastings. We did the Premium tasting which is all the wines and the two slushes. Loved it. There is really something for everyone. We never thought we would find a Virginia Cabernet we liked. Dare I say the best I have had in Va so far....is it a Cali Cab, No. However, this is an excellent substitute and I joined the Wine Club due to its rich flavor and delicious finish. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and you can stay and walk as long as you care. Also, there are several cheese options, pepperoni, crackers, as well as a Cider. A complete well rounded experience.Here's a tip: Check in on Yelp and there is 10% off coupon for tasting or purchase.

I had a group of about 22 people scheduled for a Sunday afternoon tasting of everything the winery had to offer. The space was big and open. We had enough seating for all of us. We all brought food to share so we stayed a few hours. The tasting room manager ( Jennifer) and her associate (Sean) were absolute rockstars at providing top notch service to our group! I cannot thank them enough for their patience and professionalism. Jennifer was very responsive through email and I was able to plan this event for my group about 2 months in advance. Bubble bar-everything tastes great! You also get to keep your Reidel wine glass!The wine-they have something for everyone. I recommend the hurricane red!Our group had a great time. We spent some time by the fire pit and the outdoor fire pit tables on the front porch. We would love to come back again!

Visit date: 1/3/2020Covid precautions: mask required, distanced seating large tables, staff wore mask. However, when not serving customers staff was cleaning. Wine tasting: sweet wines minus the Sangria replaced with a Rose' wine. I forgot to take a picture of the wine we tasted. The first and second were not what we thought would be sweet. However, the Blueberry Wine was everything! The birthday girl ordered a bottle to go. Location: truly tucked away and on a beautiful landscaped property. Absolutely can't wait to visit post Covid during the summer.

Date of visit: November 10, 2019Another good winery for the books...cute place next to a gorgeous home (the winemaker's home!). We waited for our tasting for about 20 minutes as the server was waiting on a party of 5 women. The server mentioned that her extra tasting table was removed for a wedding the previous day and not replaced or she would've been able to handle us as well. We were glad that we stuck it out and waited. She was very nice and friendly. Her pours were very healthy! The wine was really good. We enjoyed the Hurricane Red and the story behind the making of that wine and so we bought one of the 24 bottles left. We usually don't care for wine slushies, but theirs was great and glad we got to try.

We went here for my friends birthday and had a great time! The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. We left with a few bottles and they give you free glasses for participating in tastings! Highly recommend the prosecco bar tasting - its incredibly good. The winery itself is also very nice and make for great pictures.

They have a Bubble Bar! Great service and wines were very good, rockers on back porch to drink wine. Can't wait to go back for our next tasting.

I visited about a week after they had their formal opening and was welcomed by Pam, one of the co-owners (along with her hubby/wine maker Ed). The tasting room still needed a few finishing touches, but the wine was ready and that's what I was really looking for.CG has 15 acres under vine (including a satellite vineyard) and has been making wine for a few years. Pam was practically relieved the tasting room was open, since it meant she could move the barrel and equipment and have space in her house again!This place seems to specialize in cab sauv; they had about 5 acres of it and used it in both their sangria and slushees. No Bordeaux blends though.Oh, the tasting room is dog friendly!What I tried:Sauv blanc clean 14 Merlot: fruity nose well balanced16 Cabernet sauv: strong black cherry nose, some in the palate15 cab sauv softer than the 16 but otherwise close15 Vidal semi sweet crispChamborcin very fruityBlueberry wine; ok Sangria w/ sab sauv . Nice! Not a 'sissy sangria' as they went heavy on the cab sauv in the mix.Wine slushy: Awesome! It was winter but I stayed for a glass of this.

This sweet little winery tucked a way off Verdon Road is growing to be one of my favorite wineries! The tasting room at Castle Glen is gorgeous! I love the overall atmosphere and the cleanliness of the tasting room. They have a cute little sitting porch with rocking chairs and several high top tables to kickback and relax. Castle Glen has an array of red and white wines. My favorites are the Vidal Blanc and Sundress Table White. The Vidal Blanc is crisp and slightly off dry. The sundress is slightly sweet and smooth. I also really enjoy their slushees. The slushees are a not super sweet which I love! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I definitely will return and I have told several of my friends and family to take a day to go and visit Castle Glen!

I celebrated my birthday at Castle Glen and had an amazing time! The entire staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Jennifer had everything set up for me and she was very attentive. We enjoyed the wine tasting and bubble bar and left with quite a few bottles. The winery itself was gorgeous! We will definitely be back!
