Walsh Family Wine

We had a wonderful experience hosting our Rehearsal Dinner at Walsh Family Wine! The Garden Room created a relaxing, elegant, warm atmosphere and the wine was delicious. The staff was easy to work with and helped make the event a success! They were even accommodating of our request to bring in a karaoke setup for some added fun!

As our journey continued, we found—as often happens—that one stop led to another recommended destination. This particular place came up again and again, and we’re so glad we listened. From the inviting property to the warm, engaging staff, we enjoyed not just a great afternoon, but a place where we truly felt comfortable, welcomed, and accepted. The wines were outstanding, and the hummus was so good we couldn’t resist ordering a second round. The diverse and friendly crowd around us only added to the experience, making it clear that this is a special spot. We’re already hoping to return again soon.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Walsh Family Wine! They generously offered their beautiful space to us for free after hours, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture. The staff went above and beyond — truly top notch service from start to finish. The wine was outstanding, and the food perfectly complemented every pour. You can tell they care deeply about quality and customer experience. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable evening with great wine, food, and even better people. Huge thanks to the entire team!

I really can not say enough good things about Walsh. We came on a rainy dreary day and were so glad to find a winery that is so cozy and welcoming inside - not all wineries actually have good indoor seating. Every employee we interacted with was kind, informative, and enjoyable to interact with, they all seemed genuinely glad to be there. We came to spend the day and so we tried most of the food options, all were fantastic and went great with their wines, which are stellar. Come here, you will not be disappointed.

We hosted a baby shower in their Private Garden Room and had an amazing experience. The room is beautiful and needs no decorations, it’s ready to add your own personal touch! We used an outside catering company (Mama Lucci’s) and they had no problem setting up and working with the Walsh staff. The service was exceptional and everyone enjoyed the wine. I highly recommend this venue for any event or even just an afternoon visit!

I hosted a private event at Walsh Family Wine. It was the perfect atmosphere for my guests. We brought in outside catering and had a DJ set up in the corner of the Garden Room. They were easy to coordinate with! I would happily plan another celebration here.

This is our favorite winery in the area and we just had our baby shower in the lovely Garden Room. I can’t say enough good things about how easy the booking process and communication was with Sarah. On the day of the event, the staff was easy to work with and we got so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the venue was. As club members, we think they have the best wine in the area, offer great discounts and perks for club members and provide a warm and relaxing environment in which to spend your time.

Best winery in Northern Virginia. Held my wife’s 40th birthday here and it was perfect. Staff, location, wine and owners are delightful.

We always have a nice time here. The tasting room is cutely decorated and there is ample outdoor space. We have found the wine to be consistently good and we became members on our last visit. This vineyard is about 45 minutes from our home in Frederick and visiting here is a good excuse to try other Loudoun County wineries. I appreciate their excellent customer service and commitment to making great wine. Plus they are nice to our cat, so that's a plus.

Made a quick stop at Walsh Family for a glass of wine and ended up being able yo feed some horses. I didnt realize that I had already visited here a few years ago. You have the option to do tastings, flights, but by the glass or bottle and order food from their onsite kitchen. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I was pleasantly surprised to see horses on site wandering around and eating grass. I was able to give them some treats and I believe you could also pay to do horse rides My visit was short but sweet!

Top notch reds in a beautiful setting! My group did flights on our own. Some of us got reds while others in my group got the whites. We liked that they allow outside food in the tasting room. I was impressed with all of their wines other than the cab franc, which still wasn't bad. They allowed us to try several wines that weren't part of the tasting lineup. Their wines are some of the more impressive ones I've tried in the region, especially at their price point. I'll be back!

It was a beautiful Vinyard. I will say it's less personal than the other places we have gone too. It was you go up and place your order and then sit but it was still beautiful and the tasting was still amazing. I will definitely be back.

Happy incident that resulted in us going to Walsh Family Wines. We were visiting Harper's Ferry and this winery was a short 20 minutes away. Part of the top wineries to visit in Virginia, the winery is open daily with reasonable hours. Ambiance was cozy, cute and casual. The outdoor patio doesn't have amazing views but it was open, airy and most seating faced the vineyards. Service was super friendly and we got the flight tasting with petit manseng, Viognier, merlot and Cab franc. We ended getting a bottle of the petit manseng, Viognier and the late harvest petit manseng (my fav).

Walsh is an institution for wine in Loudoun County, and the well curated vibe in the tasting room matches that experience level. We did two tastings out on the patio, which was covered (very helpful during a random rain spell). The wine (4 wines in a self guided tasting) was good, but we didn't really taste anything notable. The views of the mountains were beautiful, the people were friendly. The bathrooms were notably nice. If you're looking for a spot to take some outside food, watch the clouds go over the mountains, and sip some wine without a conversation (which is more typical) then this might be your spot!

My wife signed up for the membership that she did with a friend of hers. She took me here and when you get there you are greeted by friendly staff. The food is like finger foods and there is lots of outdoor space that can be used to entertain.

We stopped by this winery on our way from another place. We bought some bread and a 2021 Walsh Family Wine Bethany Ridge Cabernet Franc. I'm a huge fan of Cabernet Franc and this one did not disappoint me at all. Their bread was nicely baked and warm, making it a great accompaniment to the wine. This place is smaller compared to others, but I enjoy the cozy ambiance.

A friend and I spent several hours at Walsh Family Wines this past Saturday, and I couldn't have enjoyed my visit more. So I'm going to break down what I loved about it. We had a reservation a for their Tour & Tasting Experience ($55/person), which they offered at either 11:00 or 3:00 on the Saturday we visited (we did the 3:00). The description of the experience from their website is: "For guests interested in a full wine growing experience - this reservation includes a tour of our vineyard, production facility, and a seated tasting of our wines with a selection of small bites. A great deep-dive into our winegrowing approach. Experience lasts about 60 minutes (depending on how many questions you ask!)." And it really was a deep-dive. And we weren't just there for 60 minutes - more like 120?! 180?! The staff member who assisted us throughout our tour and tasting was Pavel (Pawel? Not sure how he spells it)! He was incredible. He spent so much time with us, answering our questions (some were stupid, but I hope a couple were thoughtful), and guided the experience based on our preferences (when I said I was interested in some of the grapes Walsh grows, he made sure we could taste a wine made with that grape). No one else joined at 3:00, so it was just us and Pavel for a couple of hours. Since it's weather weather now, we didn't walk through the vineyard, but we enjoyed a comprehensive tasting in the tasting room and a tour of the production building. We tasted I don't even know how many wines (some of which I really loved) and learned a lot about Virginia wines, the history of the winery, and wine production. (FYI there was also a very nice cheese board included in our experience - with cheeses made in the area - that cheddar?!) Just a really wonderful, personal tour and tasting experience. I highly recommend it to anyone that loves wine or wants to learn more about wine! Easily one of the best and most personal tastings I've ever done anywhere in the world. But there's more to love about Walsh Family Wines. If you're just coming by for a tasting - not a tour and tasting experience - the tasting room is warm (literally and figuratively with a beautiful fireplace) and cozy and large (plenty of seating). There's also a ton of seating outside - with firepits to enjoy if it's chilly. They are family-owned (started by a husband and wife), and their grapes all come from one of their 6 vineyards in Loudoun County. They grow a wide variety of grapes on those properties, too: Viognier (of course), Petit Manseng, Cab Franc, Merlot, Tannat, Sauv Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and lots more. They aim to make low-intervention and vineyard-specific wines, and we were really impressed by the quality, flavor, and variety of the wines we tasted. (My friend and I have different preferences and both found wines to love.) I also really love their creative and inventive approach to winemaking. There's still more to love. Walsh makes great wines, but they also have an incubator project, which allows burgeoning winemakers to utilize the space and equipment at Walsh and to learn from the expertise of the staff there. Basically, they're helping new winemakers make their own wine, which is amazing and important (starting a winery can be an incredible financial investment, given the cost of the space and equipment needed to make to grow and make wine and the time it takes before the grapes or wine are where you want them to be, so Walsh's incubator really helps people interested in making wine make their dreams a reality). What a way to support the wine region they're a part of. So, clearly I fell in love. The wines, the experience, the people, the space, the mission. All of it. Don't miss having a similar experience yourself. I can't guarantee you'll fall in love to, but I can't imagine why you wouldn't!

waited all week for a charcuterie board so we picked this winery to go and have one, my wife and 2 year old daughter were so excited. somehow they ended up forgetting our order so we sat outside for 55 minutes. at this point, we just thought they were busy so we went in and asked what the issue was and they said they forgot. they issued a refund but only offered us a apple juice for the mistake.

Family friendly and so welcoming. This place is hopping! Their wine selection is good. Very approachable.

On a recent trip to Virginia, I finally got a chance to check out Walsh Family Wines. While Walsh doesn't have as breathtaking views as some surrounding wineries, this spot by far has the best wine I've tried in Virginia. Virginia wine can be real hit or miss (mostly miss, in my experience) but Walsh was a nice change of pace. We knew we were in for a treat when the person behind the counter, Marie, said she moved here from Bordeaux, France and she loves working at Walsh for the wine. If that isn't the highest compliment a winery could get, I'm not sure what is. She knew her stuff and recommended some delicious wines for us. The inside is cute with trendy decor and a wood burning fireplace. The outside is really pretty as well and you're able to wander through the vineyards. They have a bunch of cool events here including some pop ups from small, local winemakers and some markets with local vendors. I totally recommend Walsh Family Wines to anyone searching for a vineyard in VA. The wines, service, and surroundings will impress you!

I would like to introduce you to Bourgeoisie wine club! Once a month I will be taking a small group of friends, associates to different wineries to experience our beautiful Virginia wine love state! What better month than October? And harvest weekend celebration? Walsh Family Wine Sarah Bryant Walsh Nate Walsh graciously hosted and offered us an elevated tasting. It consisted of a tour in the vines, couldn't taste the grapes as it has been harvested. Then we head to the production room for a depth on wine making . Last stop was back at the tasting room for a guided tasting of a few wines! If you haven't done an elevated tasting I would definitely recommend as it's a learning experience and Marine is the best!! Here what my friends had to say Deja "This was such a GREAT experience. I learned a lot about how wine is made and the entire process. Marine was super sweet and nice too!" Gwen " Marine was exceptional! She's wonderful, and I can love wine and the winery through her eyes and excitement. We enjoyed the tour and learning about the extensive wine process - wow! Thanks for having us, I look forward to many more visits!" Oh sad to see Megan Phipps on her last day but I am sure I will ran into her at many other wineries

Preselected seasonal flight was $20 and we loved it. The place has plenty of seating and felt like a giant coffeehouse with big windows. The wine was tasty and the staff were bubbly. Cool place to visit if you're in the area.

Lovely, lovely, lovely wine tasting this afternoon. We tasted several wines at the bar with attentive service from Aaliyah. The Viognier was my favorite white with beautiful, herbaceous notes. For reds, I had a hard time deciding between the merlot and tannat, but ultimately decided on a glass of merlot with ripe berries on the nose but balanced palate of medium tannins and dark chocolate flavors. My partner had a glass of cab franc, which was also excellent. We got the cheese board to enjoy with our wines and it was impressive (see photo). The mix of indoor and outdoor seating options mean this will be a comfortable year-round tasting room. We will absolutely be back soon to enjoy the exceptional service and great wine!

I'm on the fence again between 3 and 4 stars. The margarita flatbread was at best 3 stars. No fresh mozzarella, barely any tomato, store bought "dough" = 2 stars. The setting is nice with a covered outdoor patio that is dog friendly (4 stars!) My tiny taste of the albarino was great (4 stars) but it was only available to members (-1 star). We got the twin notch Sauvignon Blanc which was fine but not memorable. I think I just talked myself into 3 stars.

This was on a friends punch list so we all got to try it together. We didn't order any food, but the wine was so delicious. The interior is beautiful and well decorated. They also have a great selection of merch. I highly recommend and am excited to go back.

This place is such a treat. It's a small winery and tasting room but it was largely uncrowded for a Sunday afternoon. There is indoor, patio, and outdoor seating, and even a small stage in a pine grove for live music. Dog and child friendly. While they only offer scheduled tastings, they do offer flights (a symptom of post-Covid at many wineries). We enjoyed a flight of whites and reds and particularly liked the Sauv blanc (often not great in VA wine!), the Viognier (VA's state grape), and the Cab Franc. None of the wine we tried in the flights were sweet which we loved. The staff are very friendly and personable and we had staff members approach us at our table to simply discuss local wines and to make sure we were taken care of. They even encouraged us to take a walk through the vines on site. The inside space is super green and inviting and there os a small event space flanking the tasting room. We did not purchase any food but there are some charcuterie offerings. This winery is also very involved in local and Virginia wine events and culture which is really lovely. They are also participants in Visit Loudoun's Pride in the Vines event for June, where they are one of the many spots you can stop and get your "passport" stamped in celebration of Pride Month. Definitely encourage a visit if you want a more intimate winery experience and not a frat house.

This was a great spot to bring my mother and her dog. Great food, wine, and a warm and welcoming ambience.

We stopped by here from a recommendation at 8 Chains North and had such a fun afternoon! We brought a picnic from home and asked our server what bottle of white she'd recommend. She responded by letting us try all of the whites! Our favorites were the Albariño and petit Manseng and we bought a bottle of petit Manseng to enjoy with our cheese/prosciuttto. It was a little chilly, so we opted to eat inside, but will definitely sit outdoors in the future where the view is beautiful and they have fire pits.

Impressive facility with solar panels blanketing the roof looms in the distance as soon as you turn down the dusty side road. Inside everything feels vintage and bohemian, comfy and colorful chairs with interesting upholstery are carefully placed around tables to create what feels like intimate spaces. An eclectic array of music plays on the record player. The outdoor space was impressive, lots of covered patio space (with a large fireplace and blankets inside for using if it's cold) and even seating speckled out in the tree line with a few of the vineyard itself. Lovely venue, seriously, just gorgeous decorating and well maintained grounds. The wine itself is quite nice but a bit overpriced. :( The flights (all red, all white, or a mix) were $18 each and most of the bottles of wine were in that $30 range. The standouts for me was their Rose and the Tannat, but too pricey for me to actually want to purchase. Definitely worth a visit on a lazy weekend if you have time!

A cute little winery settled off the main roads just north of Round Hill. there is a small indoor seating area and a large lawn with a nice view of the vineyards. Several of the lawn areas also have a wood stove available for the chillier days. You can order inside at a bar area. The server was incredibly friendly and helpful. They have several tastings available- we went with a red win sampling that included the descriptions of each, which was incredibly accurate. The wines are some of the better red ones in the region. Definitely worth a stop and a taste!

This is the new and improved old North Gate winery location. Wines are better now and the service is way better. With COVID curbside pickup is now an option and we have tried it. Just order online at https://www.walshfamilywine.com/Wines/Red We've enjoyed all their red wines, but the standout is the 2017 Walsh Family Wine Staggerwing Tannat. Strong flavors and solid tannins.

Found this vineyard around the corner from me ordered a couple of wines to grab-and-go and enjoy at home. Wish I had planned to stay. Beautiful and relaxing outdoor space that surrounds you with vineyard views. The inside was surprisingly modern. Very cute, will definitely be returning, perhaps with my bridal party! Staff were very friendly and kind. So far I've had the sauv blanc and it was solid!

I I came here after I saw someone post about "what will the women drink" which is their club member wine. Thankfully they were really sweet and let me try it, even though I am not a club member! I thought the wine here was all really good and the service was excellent. Food options are a bit limited, but the patio is a good size and a great place to spend a few hours!

The hubby and I came to check out vineyard and we had a great time ! The young lady working Thursday was absolutely perfect . She was friendly and the service was excellent. She answered all of our questions. The wine was good . My husband and I enjoyed the two whites they served Chardonnay and the viognier wine. They had really good music playing by record and they have fire pits all over the vineyard! Plenty of space to social distance and it was clean and inviting.

We had a lovely tasting with food here. Wines are some of the best I've had in Virginia and my group is quite particular about quality as we all have large cellars from around the world. These wines did not disappoint. Acidity is important for excellent wines and these delivered. The petit manseng was the outstanding white. The Cab franc was the best red. The staff is friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Marine and Hannah for stellar service. The cheese and charcuterie platter was also superb. The tasting room is lovely and Marine showed us the vines and barrel room. I would recommend this winery to any wine drinker who is skeptical about Virginia wines Thumbs up for me.

Last time we were here, this was Northgate Winery, but we didn't know this was the same place until we arrived and recognized being there prior. We made reservations prior to coming on a busy Saturday, which seems to be highly recommended! They were pretty busy, but we still got greeted and seated promptly. We did have to wait in a small line to place our order for wine and snacks, but that wasn't a big deal. The staff was friendly and helpful with the menu and describing their offerings. The wines were ok, nothing special... typical VA wines. They still have a lot of the Northgate wines there. The seating area and tasting room was decorated in a pretty cool way, almost Brady-Bunch'ish... seating was comfy. They were playing 80's music (which I love), but the speakers didn't sound that good with as loud as it was... then a large group of 8 or 9 came in and sat near us and were as loud as they could be (one was wearing a "bride" sash) and that kind of ruined the experienced for us, as we couldn't even talk to each other... so, we left soon after. Overall, it's OK, but the wines and venue aren't worth the trip from Fredericksburg area (1-1/2 hours) to visit.

Amazing wine, fun ambience. Great outdoor seating with solo fire pits. Cool collaborations with like minded companies. Highly recommend.

Wonderful wines, love their reds! One of my must places to shop when I'm in the DC area

Wines were pretty good and there's a bunch of room outside covered and uncovered. It is wooded in some areas and we did pick up a tick or two walking to the seating. There was a wedding or event happening at same time we were there but we had good service and found room. The tastings come out in small glass bottles and it makes me feel like I had a good size for a tasting.

I wish I could give this winery half points, but I think it would be closer to a 3.5 review. I used to come to this winery before when it was Northgate, but since it was bought out and became WFW, the wine has changed a lot with the new ownership. It seems like they specialize more in white wines and those seems to be pretty popular, but I'm not a fan of their reds. Their wines are not memorable and don't really stick in my mind, but the service and scenery at the winery is beautiful. They recently remodeled the inside and it is quite pretty and spacious for big groups!

The moment you walk into Walsh you are greeted with a lovely smile. I used to belong to Northgate and was a member for a year. Therefore I think before walking in I had an overly critical eye. Let me tell you...the new decor is refreshing and so much better. Moving on to the tasting. The tasting fee is $20 dollars (which is a little higher than other vineyards I've been to. However the wine does not disappoint. The chardonnay is amazing and normally I dislike chardonnays. It's crisp and very easy to drink. My other favorite was their En Passant and the tannat. Absolutely delicious and smooth. Everyone was so friendly and gave amazing customer service that I ended up joining the wine club! Lots of lovely discounts. Only wish we got free tastings per quarter instead of 50% off tastings. Other than that the discounts per bottle, free events, pick up parties, etc is well worth it.

The tasting room staff were very friendly and did a great job explaining the tasting flight. The wines were a great variation of whites and reds. The fireplace and ambience of the tasting room was cozy - like you were sitting in someone's living room. This was a great winery experience and I would recommend checking them out.

Had a great time here with my family on a Friday afternoon, we made a reservation in advance. I had previously been here when it was North gate, and I am just as happy with the new establishment. From the moment we arrived, the experience was great. Friendly staff, outdoor seating on a covered patio, with the tables spaced far enough apart, and they definitely seem to take sanitary precautions seriously. I saw other tables being cleaned and the employees were wearing masks and gloves. And as to the actual wine, very happy with the quality. We wanted a more robust red, one of the employees recommended the Tannat/Petit Verdot blend.. perfect choice for us. This was such a positive experience, especially during these stressful covid times, it was just really nice to enjoy the outdoors with a superb wine. Thank you Walsh Winery for creating a safe and relaxing environment.

Had a very nice time at Walsh Family Wine today. Staff there, especially Artie, was very attentive and hospitable. The wines here are some of the best in NoVa, and the staff and ambiance here only make the experience better.

Finally made it. The driveway generally Corvette friendly. Greeted upon arrival, brought out some healthy pours. The reds were GOOD!!! The local salami was amazing you all have to try it. Seating outside during Covid. Dog friendly and Chloe loved it.

PROS: Cute tasting room, knowledgeable and friendly staff, excellent customer service. CONS: Wines were okay. The cost for a tasting of 5 wines was $20. I think this pretty outrageous. There isn't too much of a view to speak of outside.

Went to this winery for a wine dinner foe my friend's birthday. It was amazing. Wonderful views, wine, food, ambiance and staff. Would highly recommend. Just wish it was close to where we live in Fauquier County but next time, we will stay over nearby so we can enjoy the vineyard and the wine.

We were previous members of North Gate, but the winery has taken a step forward with Nate and Sarah running the shop. We love the wine, and we love the atmosphere. The platters of fresh bread, meat and cheese are a great complement to the En Passant red wine. Highly recommend.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience earlier today tasting at this winery. The winemaker Nate started off our tasting where we heard some of their history and background and then we finished our time with Peter who is also knowledgeable, friendly and just makes you feel totally welcomed. I was a fan of all their wine offered on the tasting menu, but the Tannat is the standout winner in my book. They offered a few nibbles of cheese and meats from local farms that were excellent during our tasting. The tasting room is also cozy, with an inviting vibe for anyone. I will most definitely be back in the near future and yes Peter sold me on their membership.

Walsh Family Winery is one of the most perfect wineries in Purcellville. Let me tell you why: from the decor, to the staff, all the way down to the most important element, the WINE, they are amazing. I went here with friends during COVID-19 and the service was nothing short of wonderful and precautious. The indoor area was completely empty so we decided to sit indoors since it was a hot day, and they require masks indoors and sanitize the table you choose in front of you before sitting down. I really love the wallpaper and green walls at this winery, paired with the rustic wildflowers along the path walking in and the stone walls on the outside. It's a very cute spot for a private event. Now let's talk about the wines: out of their white wines, my favorites are most definitely the Bethany Ridge Sauvignon Blanc which held a buttery smooth finish with hints of citrus and berry, and the 2019 Rosé which was absolutely perfect, crisp, and not too tangy for a hot day. While they weren't truly offering more than a flight of 3, we ordered every wine on the menu as a flight to try it all. For the red wines, 2017 En Passant tastes like a nice tart cherry pie, perfect for summer drinking or for a marinade. The 2018 Tannat weirdly reminded me of a Cab Franc with its peppery notes among the classic smoky plum flavors associated with Tannat. It was a great and unusual red wine with the flavoring. All of their wines are very good and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making their wines, making their winery safe during COVID-19, and by hiring friendly staff. One staff member came by to check on us every so often and made sure we were taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend you pay a visit here!

Wow! What an experience! We were lucky enough to get a vertical rose tasting and let me say, best around! My wife and I have been to over 150 wineries across the US and this ranks up there with the best. Amazing wine, fun atmosphere and adorable tasting room. Thank you Nate and Sara for making our experience one of the best!

Delicious wines and friendly service. The views are gorgeous. PET friendly and chimneys and blankets to stay warm. It was recommended to us by a fellow winery and I can see why.

Awesome experience! Owner Nate is awesome. Very kind and attentive staff. Learned a lot. Awesome vibe. I will definitely come back

What an amazing place! Great food, amazing wine, and the friendliest staff imaginable. My wife and I were in town for a wedding and we randomly stopped in here and we're so glad we did. Highly recommended if you're in this area.

Great outdoor seating and good wine! A local Georgia winery staff recommended this for our next time in Virginia.

Some of the best wines in the Northern Virginia region! Nate, Sarah and staff have made a very welcoming tasting room. The best part about it is the old school record player. Relaxing atomosphere and you may just get a chance to hang out and play with the owners sweet daughter :)

If I could give them less than 1 Star, I would. Horrible service. The place says they are opened until 6pm on Saturday. We arrive at 5:30pm and there is no one at the desk, no one behind the bar, and all I could find is one of the ladies in a flannel shirt showing customers pictures off her phone. We waited in the main area for about 10-12 minutes with no one helping us, the lady still chatting it up completely oblivious to any new customers coming in. I walk back by the back room/kitchen area and a lady says "last call was 5:30, sorry." I turned around and walked out. I buy cases of wines, supporting local wineries, but I will never spend a dime on this place. I will never be back again.
