Wine: 5/5. I have always held mixed feelings for Virginia wine, however Star in the Valley's offerings were decent. We opted to do 2 wine flights which allowed us to try their entire wine portfolio. Highlights from the tasting we're the Cab Franc, Chardonel and the dry rose. All in all, fun wines and an even...

The views from this hidden gem are exceptional and one can see why star gazing is one of their planned events. For us, the real Star of this winery was our hostess, Mady. She was one of the most knowledgeable, gracious and engaging young Ladies that both my wife and I have ever met. Mady made our first experience at Star in the Valley a memorable experience. We plan on bringing many of our friends along on future visits to Star in the Valley and to meet Mady as well. This has become one of our Go...
