The Virginia Tasting Cellar — Attraction in Farmville

I have never in my life ever experienced such bad customer service. We come here ALL the time and love it, but we will absolutely not be back. We had a large party and were told we could move some chairs together outside. After we did this, a different girl who works there said “we need you to not move the furniture, and put it back where it was” to which I very nicely replied “oh I’m sorry the other lady told us we could move it”. She then said “no she didn’t”. I was in such shock that she spoke back to me like that implying that we lied. My father in law knew what the original woman told us about moving the chairs and he is the calmest quietest person who would never make that up. We then walked inside to ask how we could sit together for a party of 8 and the same girl proceeded to LAUGH at us and refused to apologize or believe what we said. She still hasn’t apologized and continued to laugh and has piss poor customer service. Please, do something about this. We have had a bridal shower here and loved it so much until this incident and we won’t be returning until she’s gone. And we will also be telling everyone else we know who loves it about this incident. Customer service is so important and you should never ever imply a customer is lying and talk so aggressively to them. Again, this was the rudest I’ve ever been spoken to by someone and I was absolutely baffled by the inability of her to apologize and...

Someone told me that there was a “wine tasting cellar in Farmville” and I said “what the where now?”. But it was true. Tucked away under a restaurant is an actual wine cellar where you get to drink actual wine on the river in pretty much any weather you want to drink in. Remember when you used to hang out “on the river” and drank cheap rose you picked up at a gas station? Yeah this isn’t anything like that and really only has “river” and “rose” in common. You can sample excellent Virginia wines at a bunch of tasting booths, you can walk in an ooh-and-aah at the rustic-yet-refined decor, you can step out on the patio and immediately see it hosting your engagement party and making all of your friends deeply jealous because YOU found a place that has amazing wine (check!), amazing staff like Leigh that entertain everyone in their immediate radius (check!), an ambiance to die for (check!), A FREAKING PORCH SWING BED (check!), live music (check!), a restaurant that sends down CRAB DIP that quite honestly I would be content to eat for the rest of my life (check!) and a river like 5 feet away (check!). Or you can just come and soak it in and Instagram it like the rest of us jaded divorcees. Whatever. Just go, you won’t regret it. Order the crab dip and drink the wine....

What’s a perfect spot to spend the afternoon, even in winter. The heaters made it feel like a warm spring day! Sunlit cozy on the river, laying in a pillow stuffed swing the size of a bed. Enjoyed the bubbly Rosé, a bit dry which I loved, and a mulled red wine, cozy and a little sweet/tart. Fireplaces, Edison lights and cozy wood/stone decor gave the perfect finishing touches to this lovely spot. Definitely a must-see for casual ambiance and a great spot to connect with friends/loved ones.

Celebrating finding your dream gown at Caryn’s dress shop on Main, come here for a wine to toast. Enjoying your anniversary, like me, sip and enjoy the cozy swing with your bae. Girls weekend, perfect spot to relax...
