Williams Gap Vineyard

Beautiful property, great wine & wonderful staff! I had a last minute change of location for my daughter’s bridal shower due to weather & needing an indoor space. Williams Gap Vineyard was the perfect spot! They graciously were able to accept my last minute reservation & everything was just perfect. Bridgette was amazing & told me not worry about a thing. She was right. We received excellent service from the minute walked in the door. It was a very special and memorable day for my daughter, family and friends. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!!

Absolutely gorgeous place both outside and inside! The wine was great and Vanessa was fun and knowledgeable 🍷🍷

I had the pleasure of enjoying a Saturday afternoon at Williams Gap. The service was top tier throughout the entire experience. We sat inside by the fireplace. The room was spaced out well and our sitting area was comfortable. A very pleasant environment to go along with beautiful floors, exposed wood beams, and very well-done bar/tasting area. For the wine the rest of my group did a tasting of the Reds and Whites. Nothing but compliments from everyone. I myself do not drink wine, but they do have a few beers to choose from. I had 2 myself and both were tasty. Well worth the trip.

Amazing red and white wines, beautiful atmosphere, super caring staff! What a great place to spend an afternoon! Surrounded by beauty you feel like you take a mini vacation when you drive up. Dog friendly, has corn hole, and awesome food specials as well! My friends and I had such a great time and will definitely be back again! Cannot recommend enough! Cheers to Christina for being so bubbly and great at recommending wine!

I confess my friends and I were on our way to another winery when we drove past this beautiful place. Had to turn around and come on in. It was definitely worth the three point turn. They have six different wines to try. 3 reds and 3 whites. We had flights of all and also a cheeseboard. It was quite delicious and the setting could not be more beautiful. They even had valet parking. Can I say how much I appreciated their nice bathrooms?

This vineyard starts of grand & is absolutely beautiful to start off. The surroundings are such an amazing setting that you are immediately transformed into true wine country vibe. The tasting room is also pretty decent. However, when it comes to wine, it’s mediocre. The property vs wine is not a true match. So I have taken out 1 point for it. Although, I do love the fact that they are open late and is a nice place to hang out later in the evening especially in summer. Now comes to the worst part about why I gave them only 2 stars is due to some of the staff that work here. Extremely disrespectful, rude & straight out racist. The day we ended up going here with a group, they made a point about our group leaving as they were closing. Please do remember we had family with little kids with us and it was raining. So we all went out and were waiting out as some of us were brining out the cars due the rain. At this point, there was this one girl, who comes aggressively at us and says I still see you here and why haven’t you left yet. We said we are waiting for the cars, and she goes on to say well I don’t see your cars coming, so I don’t care you need to start walking to your car. We asked her to gives us 5 mins to leave and yet she keeps saying I don’t want you here anymore and you have to leave. And the worst part of all this is, there are still people at this winery with open bottles, sitting and drinking where we were waiting and not a word was said to them. This is when I noticed that it was all white people there who were still allowed and sit & enjoy the drink but somehow they don’t like us coz we were a group of brown people and she did not want us to be on the property. I do also want to note, you can go back and check my reviews, this is not something I say lightly and I had to do this review as it was a very extremely unpleasant and unhappy experience for all of us. Almost demeaning in the sense.

We had a great time during our impromptu stop a few weeks ago. Great wine, delicious food and warm, welcoming staff...even on a busy holiday weekend! Renee walked us through their wines, including their spotlight. Yum! Gorgeous property and comfortable seating areas. Will definitely return!!

Absolutely divine! Fabulous hot toasted sandwiches and charcuterie plates, including gluten free options. The wine is fabulous and the facilities are beautiful. Looking forward to attending the upcoming weekend events in December too!

Love, love, love this vineyard. We've tried so many local vineyards, and of all the tastings we've done, this is one of our two top favorite vineyards, based on the quality of the wine. The view driving up to the vineyard is also gorgeous. We did a sampling of all their wines and enjoyed it so much, we purchased several bottles. Also great service, and loved all the detailed information about the wine and their origin! This vineyard is truly grown out of a father's love for his daughter, and it couldn't be more perfect. I LOVED: Vidal Blanc, Steel Chardonnay, Round Hill White 2021, Petit Manseng, Mountain Valley Red, 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Williams Gap Red (our favorite), and 2022 Cabernet Franc. Husband Loved: Round Hill White 2021, Petit Manseng, Mountain Valley Red, 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Williams Gap Red**, and 2022 Cabernet Franc.

What a stunning winery to go to! The ambiance was fantastic and we sat next to the fireplace. We were immediately taken care of and received 2 tasting flights, one red and one white. The only reason for 4 stars was their 2023 Albariño wine as it tasted like a dirty sock on a triscuit. Everything else was wonderful. We enjoyed 2 appetizers and a bottle of 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon. I highly recommend coming here and I will be back!

We decided on this place because it's great for both pets and families. Plus, they have a nice selection of food like cheese boards, flatbreads, and sandwiches. The place has a beautiful view and nice picnic tables outside. We tried regular tastings for both white and red wines, as well as some special ones. I particularly enjoyed the Cabernet Franc. I think Virginia wine produces a really good Cabernet Franc. We were a little disappointed because we couldn't purchase a special wine unless we were members of their wine club.

Their special turkey and cranberry panini ($16) had a half a slice of turkey and a spot of cranberry on one side of the bread. They remade it and 10 minutes later we were still waiting for the replacement, which finally arrived. We also ordered a second glass of wine, but I had to go and retrieve from the bar at least 10 minutes later, since the bartender told me she could not leave her station. Finally, I made the mistake of ordering a turkey & provolone sandwich with mayonnaise, and the only mayonnaise they gave me were little packets, of which I had to use four to cover the bread. Not the dining experience we were expecting for $124 on a beautiful Presidents' Day weekend Monday.

My friends and I set out to visit this winery and two others on a cold winter day after seeing them as part of a list in The Washingtonian. It was not our first, or even second or third, trip to wineries in Virginia, but all three wineries were new to us. This was our second stop, and after a slightly winding drive up to the main building, we entered a beautiful structure with views of the vineyard. We each ordered a self-guided tasting flight, me, a white, my friend, a red, which was served to us in the most adorable manner: three small, pre-prepared bottles on a wooden board with cards describing each of the wines. We took them upstairs where it was slightly warmer and we could sit overlooking the vineyard through the windows. Unfortunately, we pretty much hated all the wine. I didn't like a single one of the three from my flight, and would have only really described one as drinkable. What would normally be my favorite, an Albarino, was the worst of the bunch such that I didn't even finish it. My friend didn't enjoy the reds much better. We ordered baked brie to go with our wines, which was good, and made them taste better, but a visit to a winery should come with good wine, so I unfortunately don't think I'd come back to this one. If you are looking for somewhere to have lunch with your wine, it had a pretty extensive menu as far as Virginia wineries go, we had just already eaten something substantial so we didn't sample more than the brie.

Stopped through here after going to get our Christmas tree and we were pleasantly surprised! This winery is beautiful on the inside, has a peaceful upstairs seating, and we were able to do a seated guided tasting. We ordered the baked Brie and they also had gluten free bread. Our server/guide Afton was super knowledgeable and friendly! Our group liked all of the wine, and our favorite was the Cabernet Sauvignon!

Beautiful space inside and out, nice selection of small plates. Order at the wine bar or pull up to the bar for a guided tasting. Staff is happy to give you a taste of something before you commit.

The wine was pretty mediocre, though I only tasted the Vidal Blanc and the round hill white. The setting was okay. The winery is close to suburban sprawl, so you look out on housing developments when you are sitting on the patio outside. They have live music on weekends, which is nice.

Love this place. It's such a peaceful setting can't wait to go back when it's warmer. We've been there twice the food and the wine are phenomenal. The service is top-notch. the atmosphere is perfect for date night or relaxing with a group of friends so there's plenty of seating indoors and out prices are about what you would expect from a local winery in the DC area

We went to several wineries yesterday and loved Williams Gap. The staff is nice, the food was great, and the wines were good! We ended up staying here for 5 hours because we loved the environment so much! Would definitely recommend going here.

Pros: Decent wine Beautiful indoor section. Like you are drinking wine in your own cabin There is comfortable seating and a real fire place Outdoor seating is available. Great music selection Their wine flights are well done. Pre-poured in small bottles. Easy to transport around. Cons: As I write this review, a Covid-19 variant is running rampant. My party was the only ones wearing masks. Luckily it was not crowded upstairs. But just not as comfortable patronizing places like this. Points to note: This location is just in a newly developed residential area. The tasting room is not near the residential area so you can still feel like you are away from the city. There is a solid food menu, which is rare find.

A nice local winery with its own orchard on the grounds. The service is outstanding, friendly, outgoing and very knowledgeable regarding the wines they produce. The food is delicious, European style servings Bake Brie, Carchuteri Boards and much more! Sit outside if possible, inside it can get really loud with the wood ceilings and wooden floors.

WGV is our "go to" neighborhood winery! The wine, tasting room, pavilion, outdoor deck and staff are amazing! Located in Roundhill VA just off Rt 7, it is easily accessible! Bridget, General Manager, has done a great job bringing on friendly and talented staff along with various events that keep you coming back for more!

Delicious Merlot and a very friendly staff that made our stop what we hoped to experience. The second stop for our self-guided wine tour and we decided that the next time, this will be a destination for lunch or early dinner. Unfortunately, we had lunch at the first stop and were sad we did not need to eat because the food looked and smelled delicious. We recommend this stop to anyone that loves the reds!

Williams Gap Vineyard a group of 13 strangers got together and spend the day visiting two wineries.. our first stop was Williams gap winery..I made reservations through Bridgette (the manager) and she was quick to reply to my 100 questions through emails. We had reservations at 12pm and promptly were welcome by Bridgette, the reservation was for outside by she accommodated us inside since it was so hot. The Vineyards is breathtaking , the inside has a kitchen on the second floor were we were seated. Half of the ladies decided to do the rose and the other decided for red and white wines! We had 6 choices each . Ken and Jamie were our guides. Ken was not only informative about the history of the Vineyards, the wines and gave us some food pairing ideas with each wines. You could truly tell he loves his job !! We had a blast and the ladies definitely want to come back again!! They have complimentary vallet parking!!! Till next time wine lovers.. Spread love and drink more wines! #nadjmaqueen #blackwinelovers

My husband and I came here on a Friday at the recommendation of Three Creeks, which is one of our favorite wineries. We ordered 2 flights to split and a charcuterie board. I appreciated that we were able to make substitutions to the charcuterie board and basically build our own. The wine was just ok (nothing memorable, but still enjoyable), but the charcuterie board was a true highlight! Tons of meat and cheese for the price. My only feedback is that 1 baguette isn't enough for all the meat/cheese (we bought a 2nd). I'd definitely come back for another charcuterie board and probably just pair it with a glass of wine instead of a flight.

Came here with my boyfriend for the first time as we're trying to knock out all the wineries in Virginia. We got one of each flight so that we could share them all. We also paired it with the chocolates they have from a local chocolatier. Ambiance was great and the staff was extremely nice and friendly. The rating is more for the wines as they weren't 100% to our liking. Definitely will come back to retry in a year or so we can re-experience.

This was hands down the best drive to any of the wineries that we had visited on this trip. We enjoy and nice ride thru the vineyard to the winery. It's has some winding turns but you feel like you are driving forever to the winery. Love the setup. The woman said all of the wine on site originates from the vineyard. She said the winery itself had just opened not so long ago. She said the vineyard has been selling grapes to local wine makers since 2006. We had two glasses of wine instead of a wine tasting. Sometimes you need to take a risk and try something you think that you may like. We both succeeded on our decisions. The service and wine was hands down great.

Bye bye, Williams Gap! We were members here and visited on Mother's Day. We had a table inside, and two kids from our party went out to play on the hill while we watched from our table. A server came an asked that an adult be present next to the kids. Immediately after this request, two adults from our party went out to stand with the kids as they played. Then a third adult joined them as the rest of the kids went outside. They were not playing in the walls, as their signs stated to stay of the walls. There were no signs stating we had to stay off the hills, only the stone walls. In fact, in prior visits we had picnicked on those hills with no issue. Next a manager came to tell us the kids could not be outside at all and they had to be sitting inside at the table. I questioned this and noted that we were responsive to the last request and we're confused why the proxy seems to have change in a matter of 20 minutes. The manager stated that they are not family friendly, that they are only family tolerant. She didn't acknowledge that maybe their staff miscommunicated the policy. I told her that would make us rethink or membership bc we thought they were family friendly. Next, she proceeded to say, she'd be happy to cancel our membership. I was surprised by this reaction and said that it's pretty terrible they don't care to kindly resolve the miscommunication with people who have chooses to become members. I sat down and thought it was over. She then approached my table and said "is there going to be a problem?" as if she was looking to start an argument for us. She intentionally escalated this for no good reason. It was a completely inappropriate response. I proceeded to tell her they communicated their policy to us two different ways, and we were responsive each time, but that we were annoyed that the policy seemed to change moment to moment depending on who was talking. She proceeded to poorly manage the situation then threatened that I was starting drama and she'd ask us all to leave. I tried to end the conversation, but she clearly had something to prove. She then proceeded to get into an argument with the other adult women in our party. One was trying to get her attention to ask a question and gently placed her hand on the manager's arm, not in a threatening way at all. She immediately backed up and acted like she was being assaulted. She kept coming up with new reasons to defend her stance when we asked questions that were increasingly ridiculous and non-sensical. The whole situation made the non-white members of our party feel unwelcome and violated. Further, multiple other kids were playing outside, not at the table, and not within arm's reach of their parents. We did not see them confront those parents until we complained about the inequity of the situation. The only difference we noticed was their parties were not as diverse as our party. Finally, a third person working there came to tell one of the mothers in our party that the kids could be in certain places outside but they could not be on the walls. Our kids were never on the walls, but that was a third version of the policy we were given by the staff that day. I'm not sure if this was discriminatory behavior, very poorly trained and immature management, or both, but it was certainly not a place We or our friends feel welcome. Further, it reminded me of a prior visit where I recall this same manager getting into an argument with a large table of guests. I gave the winery manager the benefit of the doubt then, but now I am thinking this may be a systemic problem with their management. We purchased seven total bottles of wine (some to consume there and some to bring home), multiple items from their food menu and multiple items from the guest caterer that day. The fact they have zero respect for their customers/members or the decency to politely discuss the miscommunication, especially after we were responsive to their requests, is very telling. We'll be telling all our friends!

Where to begin. My daughter and I were on a weekend drive to Virginia to explore wineries. I have to say Virginia is a beautiful state, and some of the wines and wineries do not disappoint. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Williams Gap. Although the tasting room was beautiful and well appointed; that is where the experience came to a screeching halt. It seems, that whoever owns this place, has gotten to "big for their britches", and runs it like a revolving door business. Absolutely no personal touch at all, and a very cold experience. No one at the door to explain the layout or where to sit. I will say, there was 1 individual, who went above and beyond, to really extend the hand of hospitality. Prior to this visit, we had been to several smaller vineyards. Warm, kind and a great personal experience, with better wines. More willing to switch out a red for a white, or otherwise, when possible. Or try something, off the tasting list. Presentation was awful, with the little bottles. I don't know how they are bottling these wines, or how long they sit in the bottles before serving. Id rather see a cork come out of a bottle, myself. The wine was not good. All the reds were cloudy, when poured into the glass. Looked and tasted like someone who makes wine at home for the first time ( with respect to home wine makers, as they do not have the setup a winery has). Cloudy and bearly drinkable. The tasting bar was not a large area. The attitude was pay for your flight, and go find a seat. 90% of the tables were empty, but reserved. But there was no direction from the staff as to where to sit. Very disorganised. We will not support this business. There are better wines and experiences in the area.

What an amazing winery, the drive up through the windy, hilly road through the beautiful vineyards is like something out of Napa or Sonoma and unique amongst Va wineries. The staff from the owner to the person who welcomes you into the beautiful and well appointed tasting rooms Are friendly and welcoming. The wines are tasty as well from their whites to their reds.

I visited yesterday. The winery is fairly new but the owner has been a grower of fruit for years and I have enjoyed it through my support of Delaplane Cellars over the years. The manager Bridget is top notch and I am impressed with the way things are presented.They offer complimentary valet parking which Is an excellent service, I am surprised more wineries here do not. Another plus is that seated tasting are offered upstairs in a beautiful venue overlooking the gorgeous VA country side. White and red tasting flights are available. Wines are excellent with our personal favorite being the red blend which is a remarkable Bordeaux style blend delicious! A great way to spend the day enjoying the beauty of Virginia made wines and the amazing beauty of the Virginia countryside.

A brand new winery with excellent reds and international rosé! Same winemaker as the one at Paradise Springs. Their wine club is apparently chockablock and they are not accepting any new members at this time. Pity! Great interiors and a great location.

Stopped in and had a lovey chat with the owner and got to hear a bit of the history and their future plans. This entire place from the entrance to the second floor tasting area is just beautiful, the tasting was just as we hoped PERFECT we each tried a different tasting option and everyone in our group loved them the reds were my fave. Working this place into our regular visit when on this side of the mountain

Very beautiful interiors. Wine was decent, really enjoyed the seasonal antipasto style platter. Great setting and environment.

Beautiful location and decor. Loved the ambiance and staff was super friendly. My favorite was the flight - the presentation and the wine itself was great!! Definitely will be back!

I normally don't post on social media but the post from Emily A below needs to be addressed. WG is family tolerant which means parents need to supervise their kids, not sit inside while the kids run around outside. I was there that day and 2 boys were playing catch with a football outside. One was above the wall and the other was on the grass in the circle. The ball was going over the driveway used by valet parking. There was 1 adult out there shepherding a toddler and paying no attention to the boys. There were several other non-white kids running wild on the hill above the wall and climbing on the rock outcrop. That is flat out dangerous and those kids were not visible to any party inside the tasting room and certainly not being managed by any adult. I am a frequent visitor to WG and have seen the policy of don't climb on the wall, don't run wild on the hill, no ball playing enforced evenly and consistently. I am pretty sure it was her party at the long table at the front of the tasting room as there were non-white members of the party. I normally sit at a small table on the opposite side of the stairs. That party was loud and unconcerned with the noise they were making; the volume was annoying where I was. A couple seated near the large party came over to get away from the noise. I gave them my table and went upstairs where it was quieter. I assume the 7 bottles of wine makes Emily A feel entitled to act like her party can run the place. Frequent visitors to WG come for the beautiful view, the warm and inviting structure, and the very good wines. It is a place for quiet conversation and reflection. Willingness to spend money doesn't mean you get to spoil the experience for everyone else. "gently placed her hand on the manager's arm", seriously, you think your money spent excuses rude behavior? Emily I hope you do cancel your membership, in fact next time I go to WG I will offer to pay the cancellation fee for you just to ensure some peace and quiet. Mike M

We had a disappointing visit with the tasting room manager, who was fairly curt with my wife. The website says that she has a philosophy to make sure that every guest has the best experience possible, but that certainly was not our experience.

Enjoyed a red and white tasting out on the porch of the beautiful new tasting barn/house. Really stylish and charming space with ample seating inside and out. Impressed with the wines and service from quick, friendly, and helpful staff. Winery sits on top of a hill so you get great views of the surrounding area and vines. Excited to go back and try the newly released Rose, and also spend more time enjoying a nice bottle on their covered patio.

We visited Williams Gap winery for the first time. I have visited 140 Virginia wineries and my husband is at 138. Today was his birthday! What an amazing experience. The service was outstanding. The food and suggested pairings were spot on! Fabulous venue as well. We highly recommend. And if you are fortunate enough to have Tiffany assist you- well, you will love her level of service. We had the white and red tasting and brought wine home with us. Watch for this winery in the 2023 Virginia Governor's Cup!

Went to William Gap for a bachelorette party and loves the whole vibe of the place and the wine is really good! Bridget is awesome, she knows her stuff and is the perfect personality to introduce you to this vineyard! Charcuterie plates are delicious. The view is gorgeous and the area for the tastings are beautiful too.

My husband and I love visiting Williams Gap Vineyard! Our adult children also love going there! The setting among the hilly vineyard is beautiful and the tasting room is gorgeous. We have been enjoying getting to know the staff a little bit, and the manager is so friendly and helpful. We have really been enjoying their wines, so we decided to become members! This is a great place to relax and kick back while sipping on some delicious wine. My only complaint is that we don't live closer so we could drop by more often! Thanks Williams Gap for providing a great venue to enjoy your wines.

This winery is by far the best we have been to in some time. The staff is accommodating and friendly. They get to know the local families, which brings a personal feel to the establishment. The food items are amazing and the wine is great. It did not take long for most of the surrounding neighborhood families to become members. Chefs, food trucks and live music keep this place fresh and exciting! Come check it out!

Absolutely love this place. Staff is friendly and remember members names as they walk in the door. Fun atmosphere and delightful views. They support local charities and the local community. It is a great addition to the Round Hill community. I love being treated fairly and with respect. Cheers Williams Gap!

Love Williams Gap! The atmosphere and views are amazing! The staff is always kind and respectful, it's nice that the staff greet you by name when you enter. This is also a place that supports its local community! Can't wait for my next visit.

I have to rave about the private 5 course dinner we just (7/14/2021) had at Williams Gap Vineyard as a going away party for a friend. Bridgette Smith, the WG tasting room manager and our gracious hostess, seated us upstairs in the tasting room, in a beautiful room at a huge table with comfy padded chairs where we could take in gorgeous views of the vineyard and the town of Round Hill down below. We also had the added pleasure of having the whole tasting room to ourselves as WG is not open to the public on Wednesdays - yet. Bridgette started us off with a delicious glass of sparkling white wine and then introduced us to Chef Marium Caternolo. As Chef Marium presented us with each of our courses, Bridgette walked us through each of the wines, explaining the characteristics and why the wines were paired with each course. The food was absolutely fabulous! Chef Marium blew our taste-buds away with fried risotto balls, chilled tomato gazpacho, a tender arugula blood orange salad, scallops garnished with an apricot jam and grilled bok choy (even non-veggie eaters loved it), grilled steak with veggies and finally as a special treat (as it was my birthday as well) a decadent piece of vanilla cake. We were all so very impressed with Bridgette and Chef Marium as our meal was perfect and our experience - totally memorable!
