Grayhaven Winery

It was my first time going to this winery. The owners and workers are from South Africa. They were super funny and very sweet. Be careful that when you park you don't go to "grandpas house"The barn with the wine is closer to where the horse is and it has some table and chairs. We were the first ones there and it's super small but cute. I can't imagine what it's like when it's busy.

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to try some wines based on the great reviews. As I neared the tasting room, I noticed lots of uncleared tables, and found the same inside. There were 3 of us waiting for assistance and finally a woman showed up. When I heard that they were out of all white and rose wines, I left. It's ununfortunate that I wasn't able to try any wines. It would have been difficult to find a clean table anyway.

This is the most wonderful small family owned winery specializing in South African wines. They have vines both here and in South Africa and have wine dinners and the annual South African festival. Deon and Max are knowledgeable and extremely talented. We have been going there for many years and have never been disappointed.

We went last year during a camping trip stop. Loved this tucked away and charming winery. The wine was delicious and we were able to try most everything they offered. We enjoyed the friendly service as well. They had a little pond that runs around the sitting area. Adorable.

Did not even get a chance to taste the wine. A lot of people, one server, and we waited outside for 20 minutes. Went inside to check on our tasting, the lady said she would be right out. Another couple came outside at that time. The server came out with 2 glasses and because we had been there first (waiting over 25 minutes) we thought those glasses were for us. But the server took them over to the other couple who seemed to be her friends. She was more interested in taking care of her friends than waiting on people who were there first. Very disappointing. We left.

Every time I go to Grayhaven it's a great time! Let's talk aesthetics. Upon arrival you will cross a mini bridge over a koi pond to a hobbit- style tasting room! It's like stepping into a mystical fairytale. The very dainty tasting room has a bar area and a few tables for indoor seating. The owners are the hidden gems of Grayhaven! They have a way of making you feel welcomed while giving you a peak at the history of their wines. They have several South African wines that are native to the husbands homeland. My favorite wine to order here is the mulled wine and the lychee sangria.. (it is absolutely amazing) They also have a very light semi-sweet rose' that is great for a warm summer day.

Cute and quaint winery off the beaten path. Wines tasted lovely and have a special tie to South America. The owner was very humble and humorous. The service was above and beyond - the owner even unlocked my car that I had accidentally locked my keys inside of. What a gem! Highly recommend.

This is one of the most unique experiences we've had! 100% loved it. The owner was buried....single handedly serviced a full house. He was able service each table without making it feel rushed and without making you feel he was inattentive. Bravo! I really appreciate the effort. It's an absolutely charming place. Not pretentious, just a beautiful and luscious style garden with some delicious wines and other drinks they will share while enjoying a tasting. Caution.....the granny slayer will get you!!!! The lychee sangria was absolutely brilliant for the beautiful day we've had today. I also became adorned to the Rendezvous and Orange...I think we will experiment with that during the holiday season. The owners are very personable and make sure to get around to all of their guests. We sat on the outskirts of the property due to the amount of guests but the visitors look like they would be fun to socialize with. I highly recommend a visit to Gray Haven Winery.

Yikes! We arrived and I immediately got that feeling. My husband seeing the look asked if we should just leave. I decided to stick it out and give the benefit of the doubt. We should have left - it was just bad.The whites were leaving a metallic taste. The reds were just bad too. This is all our opinion, of course - this might be someone else's cup of tea"wine". Thank goodness we were sitting outside because they ALL were so bad the grass got most. My tongue is seriously feeling assaulted.The bathroom...serious sketch. You walk through what should be a condemned building - no joke, moldy ceilings, leaving (full buckets on the floor), the floor is slanted as if the foundation is no longer. Just gross - very gross.Not saying not to go - but do consider the kind of tasting experience you want to have.

Excellent host! Great wine...thanks for the fun experience. South Africa meets Virginia!
