west wind farm vineyard & winery

Several times a year, the West Wind hosts evening dinners. The food is excellent, as are the wines, and the service is awesome. Expensive (about $50 per person), but everything is included. They don't really advertise these dinners, but if you visit or call the winery you can get an email telling you when they are and you can sign up.

Went for something to do and stayed for their wine tasting and go thru their gift shop. The young lady was very nice and engaging with info about the farm and area. Ended up buying a half a case of wine to take home and some things from the gift shop. A must see when in the area.

We happen to be passing by the area and noticed the sign an interstate sign. As a quick decision we took the exit and immediately looked on our GPS for the route. The GPS was a life saver since the signs off the interstate didn't give us any real directions.The winery and vineyard are well worth visiting. Quiet and peaceful surroundings made this a great find. The staff was very friendly and informative. Try the creme soda in the fridge.....great stuff. We'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a wonderful gift shop, nice people, and a beautiful setting.

We spontaneously stopped here while driving. The staff was very nice and informative about the wine. We ended up buying a bottle after the tasting and drinking it on their patio with a beautiful scenic backdrop.

We were venturing our way down 77/81 on our usual route back to North Carolina and decided to make a little rest stop to this little gem-- and we were so glad that we did. We ventured in and we were the only people... it was Monday at 230pm what else would we expect! The gentleman working was wonderful! I can't remember his name, but I know he went to UVA and he was 38. He was patient and we had a great chat even with our 5 month old in the baby carrier in front of me. (momma needs a little fun!) he did a great job explaining the wines and letting us walk and taste as we wanted to. We ended up getting a bottle of the River White and took it with our packed lunch out to the patio. We were able to let our dog sit there on a leash. The breeze and the scenery were absolutely perfect!! We will most definitely be making this our regular "rest area" on our trip back from Canton, Ohio. Don't let the 3.8 or whatever it is miles off the freeway deter you. Completely and utterly worth it!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write! We appreciate your kind words.Jason, my brother and our tasting room manager, really enjoyed your visit as well. Do come back when you get a chance.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a few minutes to write and we're so thrilled you had a good visit with us. Do promise you'll come back when you're passing through or staying in the area! I had a wonderful time, too! -- David

We stopped here to break up our long trip back to Baltimore from Asheville and I'm so glad that we did. Not only did we buy some really cute decorations for our home in their little gift shop, but we also had the opportunity to taste so very well crafted wines. If you plucked this vineyard up and dropped it into Napa you would be very pleased as most of the wines carry their own weight. We went home with a bottle of their Pinot Gris because I almost never find a wine with pear notes that I actually like! The Reisling made an impression on me because of its lack of sweetness, which I really appreciated. This part of the country is pretty much the only place you can get the chambourcin grape to grow and West Winds take on it was spot on. Finally, the Heritage Reserve; I almost don't want to rave about how elegant it was because I'd like them to still have some when I go back! If you're lucky enough to try it, buy it, it's well worth the price. There's rumor that the old house is planned to become a B&B which would really elevate this vineyard to the next level and attract in more people searching for a breezy lazy weekend in this little gem of an attraction.

Our favorite Virginia winery. Friendly, intelligent people who will chat if you want, or leave you alone, as you wish. The wine itself is among Virginia's best, and you can outside in the shade and enjoy the view. It's always a must-do when we're in the area.

I'm a picky wine drinker and don't expect to find a good local winery. Maybe that's me (really, maybe it is me), but more than half the time I find a local winery, but I often find local wine thin and without much substance. West Wind Farm's West Wind Wine is not thin. It has flavor and it's complex. Win!Added to the quality of the wine,of course, it's local wine. The grounds are beautiful; the store is well kept and curated with excellent finds for your kitchen, table, and yard; and the staff is very pleasant. If I go down this road again I will surely be back. Thank you for the great experience.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your evening! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and the surroundings. We hope you'll stop again when you're in the area.

Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience visiting our winery. I do hope you'll join us again on your next trip through the area.

Hi folks, thanks so much for writing about your visits to the winery! We're so glad you enjoyed yourselves. Do come back when you get a chance.

Thanks so much for taking time to write about your visit to West Wind Farm. We're so glad you visited and hope you will again next time you head south on I-77.

We’re very big fans of the Niagara-on-the-Lake and Finger Lakes wine regions so we didn’t think we would find comparable vineyards outside of these areas. Great news for the people in Virginia and anyone traveling through the western part of the state – the West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery can unequivocally compete! Their whites, especially their Riesling, are wonderful and very distinctive - a match for the more northern vineyards. Their reds are likewise excellent. The property is beautiful. The proprietors are absolute gentlemen and always very helpful. If you like good wine, make the quick trip off of I-81 to West Wind. You will not be disappointed.
