Fifty-Third Winery & Vineyard

I discovered this winery today and had a great time speaking with the friendly staff and trying some of their wines.I decided on the 2oz flight of 4 tastings, and they let me try several wines beforehand to help me narrow down my choices.I don't like oaky or tanniny wines, so here's what I ended up trying: Rhapsody (my favorite by far), Chardonel (sweet with a tart apple like finish), Gentle Press Rose (ok, not as much flavor as the first two) and Merlot (smooth with a dry finish).There was indoor and outdoor seating. I chose to sit outside, which had a view of some of the vineyards. There were families and others on the deck enjoying the nice day.I enjoyed this winery and plan on returning.

Great wine, wonderful and very pleasant staff.Wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great glass of wine.

How many times have you gone to a winery and liked everyone of their wines on the tasting flight? Crazy, but absolutely true. I loved Fifty-Third Winery. The scenery is absolutely stunning. Thank you to Tony, for helping us with our wine flight selections. She was so much fun and her wine recommendations were spot on. We also ordered a cheese and pepperoni platter. It was very good. The winery looks new and is well organized. Our flight and food came out quickly and efficiently. This is a bit of a drive, but if you are looking for great wine, excellent service, and tasty food selections, then Fifty Third winery is the place to go. I also wanted to mention that their prices were great. Thanks Fifty Third Winery for a spectacular time.

Really liked the more intimate nature of Fifty-Third compared to a lot of the other larger wineries you'd find in Northern VA. The staff is very friendly and helpful in explaining the wines, and you can't go wrong with any of them! The Chardonnel is a great crowdpleaser for white wine lovers, and the red options are very good. We had some guest winemaker wines (by Joy Ting), and they were very cool to try due to their limited production. Loved sitting outside and looking out across the field.Bought a bunch of bottles to take home, and definitely will be back when in the area!

My wife and I are members of several wineries and this is by far our favorite. Great wine and a great staff. You need to try their taste the future or other special event.

Attentive service, beautiful views, nice wines, and still small enough to be "homey" (not overrun with buses of people and oodles of rambunctious children). I am not going to be apologetic about my view on this - while some may like a lot of hustle-bustle and don't mind waiting in lines, masses of people, and a playground full of kids running all over while sipping on a glass of vino, not me. Somewhere betwixt and between is the sweet spot, and 53rd hits it. They allow you to bring your own food (and we did) as nothing beyond small, prepackaged nibbles are offered. However, I would gladly trade the presence of food for scenic views and welcoming hosts with good wines accompanied by a dose of serenity. There is seating inside and out, and wine flights as well as wine by the glass. A delightful afternoon not far from Richmond. Family owned, and by folks who really care about customer service. I'm so glad this sunny (and near-enough) place was recommended to me, and I now recommend it to you, the reader of this review!

Date of visit: June 30, 2020I just had to rave about 53rd again!! We have come several times and still love being here...love the wines...the atmosphere...the people who work here! We had a very rough June 30 (our anniversary) trying to find a new (to us) winery to hang for the day. After a horrible experience (at Veritas Vineyards), we knew to come back to 53rd! Here we sat for over an hour and enjoyed a bottle of wine and were encouraged to sit back, relax and enjoy. And so we did! We will continue to come here time and time again! Thank you!

Beautiful views. We dropped by one day for a tasting. We found one or two of their local varietals to be interesting.Try a tasting with some crackers and cheese and enjoy their outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard. Come for the view.

We are red wine drinkers. The whites were good but the red blends were very smooth and had a wonderful, but lite oak finish.

Wine club pick up day is a hit again. Staff is fabulous and knowledgeable. Just come. You'll love it.
