Jacey Vineyards

Love Jacey Vineyards and when we visited the area, we stayed at one of the private residences available for rent. The turn to get down the road for the vineyard isn't well marked so make sure you keep an eye out once you're getting close.

Great place to enjoy local wine or craft beer and a pizza or charcuterie board. We live about 8 min away and have been here several times. It is on our rotation.

My review is likely skewed by my excellent (and accidental) timing of having visited during an oyster festival weekend. Even so, I may have given them 5 stars anyway. This place isn't fancy, but I'm extremely impressed they did so well despite this being a very small, out of the way place. Extra impressed for the variety of grapes at their disposal and the affordable prices.They are only 5.5 acres, but their 2500 cases/year are nearly all estate (I think they get some help with the Sav Blanc). They grudgingly have a single sweet-ish wine, but mostly they go for dry wines. But most impressive is WHAT they grow. Malbec, Albarino, Zinfandel...I donno what got into their heads to try these, but I'm sure glad they did. I guess with their odd climatic conditions, these grapes just work here.A shout out goes to the wine maker, who's a very young dude who (literally) started out as their lawn mower man. I think he should write an autobiography...except he has so many chapters to go, maybe he could hold off for now. Still, with a start like that, I'd buy it.What I tried:2013 Sav Blanc: Little citrucy; not a bad start2013 Vidal Blanc: First off, advertisement: I've almost always hatted this grape. But for some reason, I LOVED theirs. Don't ask me why; miracles must really happen. Some oak but not a lot.2014 Albarino: Spanish grape that you don't see that often; I liked what I had.2013 Malbec: OK, this is a VIRGINIA Malbec, so it's not going to get the boldness you might otherwise expect. And even compared to other VA Malbecs, theirs was on the soft side, with a fruity nose and a hint of spice. I was also impressed with their $18 bottle price. Nice job!2013 Petit Verdot: Spicy nose, black pepper notes. Not bold like other PVs I've tried in Virginia. I bought a bottle for...further study...2013 Norton: Soft by Norton standards; I didn't ask if it was blended with anything but wouldn't surprise me. One of the better Nortons out there.2013 Zinfandel: They had two varieties of this, a semi sweet and a dry. I didn't love either, but still impressed they managed to grow it here.

Great spot In Wicomico Church to go taste their wines and grab a bite to eat. The pizza tasted great and we loved the wines that we had by the glass (didn't do a tasting). They have a beautiful patio to utilize when the weather is nice and I believe it's dog friendly. Whether you live in and around the area or are visiting the Northern Neck, I would definitely recommend checking out this unique vineyard! It's a perfect place to stop on Saturdays if you're traveling from Kilmarnock to the Reedville area, or anywhere in between!

As mentioned by others GPS will send you to an incorrect location. Call to get directions and avoid ending up in the wrong place. The food, tapas style, is amazing. We had chorizo butter scallops, cheese sampler (all Spanish variety), shrimp pancakes, and garlic Brussels sprouts from the vineyard garden. All amazing!! Worth a stop just for the food alone.The proprietor imports products from Spain, hence the cheese, and the wi be tasting includes Spanish wines they have imported in addition to wine produced on site. Servers are very knowledgable and running a low key business. Plan to walk in, be greeted, find your seat and then to sit back and enjoy.

Only open during the summer, on Saturdays. The wines were surprisingly good! I was very surprised to find out that they had Albarino and Malbec growing on the property. A very pleasant find, go try their wines if you get the chance.

A nice fun local find! The wine was very good! Great atmosphere. We ordered the pizza and a dozen raw oysters. All was quite tasty, but the oysters could have been a bit colder. I usually get them in the shells on ice at other places. These were already shucked and lined up on a long plate over lettuce. It was a nice presentation, but by the time half were eaten the others were almost room temp. Just a small suggestion that maybe some ice on plate (under the lettuce?) would have been a bit better. However not a huge deal. We will be back either way! Looking forward to trying the grilled oysters next month! Everyone working there was extremely friendly and this will no doubt be one of our local hangouts! I also love that they offer bottled beer and hard cider! They have outdoor seating so we look forward to taking our small dog on nice days! Highly recommend!

Beautiful scenery, Extremely well done dinner options, comfortable setting, Enjoyable Wines

Jacey Vineyards was our most highly anticipated winery on our vineyard excursion and it certainly did not disappoint. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the service is top tier. Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating, ensuring you have everything you need to enjoy yourself without hovering at your table. The small details went a long way for us- the farm to table fresh figs from a tree on site, the local home production of wine, down to the label (one of which was gifted to 3 us by our thoughtful server April) all made with a family feel. The food selection is exactly what you're hoping for and the flights are brought in real glasses, one at a time so your pallet and your table are never crowded. We will be talking about Jacey Vineyards for years to come!

We were also there Saturday - not our first time however. Obviously, Christina A. didn't see what had happened a few minutes before she arrived? Already shorthanded (was told by the manager when we arrived), a fill in person in the kitchen badly burned her hand on a hot pan. Another staffer took her off to have it looked at leaving them even more shorthanded. Frankly,I was amazed they stayed open and continued to offer Tapas - albeit a bit more slowly than the last time we visited. Some 5 or 10 minutes after that, the 5 or so kids (who brings kids to a winery anyway?) who were playing with another guest's dog, sent an outside table over, breaking a bottle of olive oil that was then all over the patio. That would explain "Bleach". As for being seated while tasting, we found it incredibly refreshing. Having visited well over 100 VA Wineries, I liked the fact that we didn't have to stand in line only to be given a micro-pour of over priced, mediocre wine, and rushed out the door. I can see how that might be a bit confusing though - it is different than most others.Lastly the bit about the Spanish wines. The way it was explained to me, the mix of wines is intended to give a better, more complete, tasting experience. It helped me personally understand that I do not like oaky white wines. My husband does. I was also told it kept Jacey's prices in line with the market value of their wines. I believe it as their prices seemed considerably more reasonable than most of the other VA wineries we have visited. Perhaps that's why they sold out of my favorite Malbec - it was $12.00 a bottle. I'll be back this summer once they bottle last years vintage! We did find several of the Spanish reds were really to our liking. The only problem was that the one we liked the most was also to another couples liking, so we ended up arguing (in a good natured way) about who could buy the remaining case. I must say that Jacey offered to ship whatever we wanted and they didn't have at them moment, at no additional charge.In short - I'm really glad Jacey carries the Spanish wines - I found great value in several of them as well as some of the Jacey wines. I hope they keep it up!
