This was a fun winery!The grounds are really great for kids and pets if you have a longer drive up here. Would be great for groups The staff was great The wines are different from most places with sweet wines and sangria leading the way. The shop and tasting room are nice.

Went to this location last week and had wine flight and two of 5 wines were good. They need more of food variety when having drinks. It was good start to the day. I had a great little high from the wine.

I'll start by saying we've visited Mattaponi winery several times in the past and have had positive experiences, and we know what to expect from the wines when we go. We visited on Saturday. The weather was raining when we arrived so it wasn't busy, which was great.Kristy (spelling unsure) assisted us with our tasting. While she was admittedly newer to the winery, she did an excellent job pouring wines and providing outstanding service. She was very hospitable and friendly the entire experience and provided good overviews of all the wines. Admittedly, my wife and I aren't fans of sweeter wines (a majority of these are sweeter), they're still enjoyable for those looking for something sweeter or different. The location is good for enjoying a glass or bottle on the property. Nothing fancy but offer tables in and out, and covered seating around the building. Overall worth the visit based on the excellent service alone, but tailor your expectations on what wines you expectations to try while there. Thank you, Kristy and Mattaponi for the experience.

For richer or pourer, I take thee, Dale to be my wine connoisseur! I DO, believe this to be one of the most fun times I've ever had at a winery! Dale was so personable and knowledgeable, my bestie and I had a blast here! Dale didn't rush us, gave us the low down on the different wines and answered all of our questions. He was a fountain of information and humor! This rustic, lodge like winery has a gorgeous interior with golden, wood walls and subtle soft lighting! The antler chandelier is on point (har-har)! The beautiful long bar is a comfortable place to enjoy your tasting as you soak in the woodsy vibe at this casual winery. The carved bear figures on the porch, the barrel tables, the southwestern and Native American décor make for some great photo ops. I love all the Native American touches everywhere! Named for 3 rivers in Spotsylvania county, the Matta, the Po, and the Ni, this area has a rich Indian history and I love that this winery celebrates its culture. The chill, relaxing atmosphere here makes you want to linger as you sip these award winning wines! We purchased the Strawberry Chocolate wine, the Chambourcin, the Cabernet Franc, the Pinot Grigio, and several other varietals. Not only were the wines fabulous, but they also sell other merchandise! We bought some super cool turquoise jewelry and some amazing spices! They have a whole line of humorous spices, "Chicken $h*t, "Bull $H*t, etc. that are not only fun gifts, but they are tasty!! We add some of those spices to many of our dishes for some added zing!! They also stock local honey, oils, snacks, and other products and we were happy to support the local businesses and this terrific winery! Ive been here a few times and I can't wait to return again... til death do us part!

Now WHY did I just figure out I was passing this winery on my drive multiple times a month?! My go to place at the past wine festivals I've attended; I was ecstatic to find out its location. Down a side road, so be mindful that red sign might pop up on you. Covid-19 precautions so as I pulled up, I called a number to let them know I was there. Little bit of a wait, but of course it was worth it. Glad they have the premixed bottles of the sunshine sangria ($15)! Tasted just as I last remember from when outside was open.

A quick stop here on our explorations of the area. A very nice set up with a wrap around porch for outside wine sipping and snacking. Unfortunately the wines were unremarkable and in a few cases undrinkable. Our server was very nice and helpful explaining the different wines on offer. The place specializes in sweet wines. They also had a few cocktails which were made with wine instead of liquor. We are apparently "sophisticated" as we like dry wines. Who knew!Anyway we had a nice stop and a couple of sips and were on our way. Don't go here if you are looking for nice wines but for a few sips outside along a journey it might be worth a stop.

This was by far the nastiest wine I have ever had. The selections of "normal " wine (merlot, Chardonnay) were absolutely gross. The bread served with the Irish stew was actually a hot dog bun! Seriously?!?! Never coming back.

We stopped by here for a tasting before heading to my friends house on Lake Anna--and we were lucky enough to take part in their St Patrick's Day Pancake and Wine pairing. Honestly, there aren't words to describe the experience that was this magical culinary journey. There was a traminette wine with an Irish potato pancake, a STRAWBERRY wine with a strawberry pancake, a cranberry chambourcin with a chocolate pancake, and a blueberry wine and lemon and poppyseed pancake. It's brilliant. They have monthly food and wine pairings and we will ABSOLUTELY be back. We actually each ate two trays..

We go often to various wineries and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the wines are here. We loved 8 of them and bought a bottle of each. Their wines have a rich and bold flavor that we love. I'm so encouraged by what they offer because so much wine is just not that good out there. I'm looking forward to continuing to buy from them in the future. Please take some time out of your day and head on over to Mattaponi Winery. If you love wine, I think you'll really enjoy what they have to offer.

We live in the area and decided to stop in recently. First impression is the winery is a bit run down. The grass is patchy, the porch is used for storage and there are two porta potties right next to the backyard seating with weeds growing up around them. The woman who served us offered no suggestions or any info on the wines offered. For someone who is primarily a Napa Cab drinker, none of the reds were to my liking. The whites were extremely yellow and incredibly sweet. This was not the place for us and was incredibly disappointing. We might have stayed longer if there was a pleasant view.
