Gauthier Vineyard

Never heard of this vineyard before so we decided to stop by since we were at another one that was close. The wine here is very good and the service is even better ladies. His hair definitely looked out. I'm interested to see what their pizza is like, maybe next time.

Gauthier Vineyard offers a wonderful tasting room, indoor and outdoor seating, and a bed and breakfast home. The property is quite charming with nice little touches to give you that homey feeling. There a variety of wines - reds, whites, including port-style, dessert, and bubbly selections. My tasting was expertly provided by one of the key staff members, giving detailed descriptions of each wine that were so much more than the general descriptions. A few rules which are quite appealing if you are seeking a pleasant tasting experience and relaxing chats with friends or family: children and dogs are not permitted in the tasting room and limos/bus groups may only come with a reservation. These rules help maintain the calm, relaxing atmosphere focused on adults. I enjoyed the wines so much that I purchase six bottles. I will definitely return to this sophisticated, friendly winery.

Whole experience wine was lovely and pizza was flavorful. The wait-staff at the bar and table service were friendly and helpful. Left with a case between the participants!

First of all, I think wineries are getting lazy pouring the flights and having you take them somewhere else. I want you to tell me about how this wine is made, I want interaction with the person pouring my wine. Secondly, the wines here are all bad. Not one redeeming wine in the 3 flights we tasted. The winemaker needs to know that wine should NOT smell or taste sour. View is nice, that's about the only good thing I can say about this winery. There are way better wineries around than to waste your time at this one.

Gauthier Vineyards offers a relaxing getaway with views of a peaceful pond featuring a fountain, gazebo, fire pit, and wrap-around porch. Gauthier's variety of wines include the usual whites: Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, and reds--Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Norton, and red blends. In addition, they are currently offering two dessert wines--one white and one red. You can order a 14-wine tasting or a flight of four wines of two-ounce servings. We chose the wine flights, selecting eight different wines between the two of us to try different wines. The vineyard also offers a wine slushy on hot days. Overall, the wines perform very well. In addition to wine, Gauthier has a brick oven in which they make pizzas--ranging from cheese to meat to vegetarian. One pizza feeds two people. You also may bring your own food. We brought salad and dessert to enjoy with our pizza. The vineyard offers crackers and cheeses for purchase.The vineyard offers oysters on some weekends. Check the website. They also run wine dinners, the dates for which are also on their website. Gauthier is located between Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia. It's a short ride off Route 64. It's open 4/8 pm on Fridays, and 11 am-6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Honestly how have I never even heard of this place!??This was our third stop, and my absolute favorite.It was on the smaller side but it was definitely more personable which was nice.It was very clean.My friend and I both had a tasting for the sweet wines.I have no idea how I did not take a picture of my sangria because it was absolutely delicious and we took that and set outside on the deck. And got a little chilly so we came back inside which had awesome tables to sit as well.You could definitely come there with the family, there was a family there with the little kids playing with toys on the patio.I absolutely loved that you were able to purchase a box of crackers and that they had a refrigerator with different cheeses, water, meat, and chocolate.It was $5 for a box of crackers and $5 for a box of cheese. It is obviously overpriced but honestly, they could have sold it for more so I think it was reasonable.My friend and I both bought a bottle to take home, I enjoyed a glass of sangria and my friend enjoyed a glass as well.We both bought a water bottle for a dollar each, one of us paid for the crackers and the other paid for cheese. That way when we went outside we split it and enjoyed it.I highly recommend going there. The staff was super nice and I will definitely be back

I loved my experience at Gauthier Vineyard. This winery is tucked away and very peaceful. It was sort of misleading on the gps, but eventually I found it! I visited on a Sunday and there was a nice size crowd, but not too crowded. On every 2nd and 4th Sunday they serve oysters raw, roasted, or fried. I learned that they go very fast, but luckily I made it just in time and ordered a half dozed roasted and half dozen fried. After ordering, the lady working found where we were seated and served us the oysters. In addition, my boyfriend and I ordered 2 wine flights with a variety of wines and snacks as well. We also got 2 wine slushees that were very refreshing in the summertime heat. The people I met were very friendly and also helpful. I am looking forward to returning soon! Such a great place if you are looking to relax, socialize, and enjoy some wine.

What a pleasant experience at this establishment. The grounds were beautiful and the service was warm and inviting . We had a sampler of different wines and order pizza that we paired with our wine.

Please - talk about AMBIANCE for the resident on Farmer's Drive. Residents on Farmers Drive plead with Gauthier Vineyard to turn down intrusive birds sirens with no compromise for the second year in a row. Families and pets are unable to reside peacefully in their own homes and yards due to prehistoric bird screaming nonstop. Residents should not be forced to listen to these ridiculously intrusive bird screams at such loud levels of sound any longer or for any time in the future.Susan Seal

Fabulous winery, fun place with great people! The pizza was a bonus and it's such a beautiful property- with caring, smart owners!
