Nice winery with sweeping views of the mountains! I love the 2 floors of wrap-around deck shaded under the trees with plenty of space for social distancing! The winery has a nice relaxed casual vibe.
The stone tavern has some pretty interesting history - built over 125 years ago in 1893 used primarily as a bed and breakfast weekend getaway for travelers from DC who took the train to Bluemont. The tavern was destroyed in a fire, nice to see the evolution to a winery!
The winery was following Covid-19 protocols by banning tastings inside the tavern and keeping tables 6 feet apart indoors and outside.
While the wines are dry, the wine slushie frozen delights are a fun way to cool off in the scorching summer heat! The slushies are on the sweeter side and loaded with sugar like the Watermelon cooler, which wasn't my favorite. The Vido Colada made from Vino Blanc was more balanced and just right. The Spice Wine Chiller had a nice spicy kick from the mullied wine! The fruity slushy is much more refreshing than just a glass of the Raven Rock Red Mullied wine.
Excited to come back and soak up some nice views with a vino...

One of the couples that entered after us was kind enough to tell her we were ahead of them and she was forced to come over and help us. The first thing out of her mouth was oh you have your baby. “ I hope he is a good baby... I guess now you can bring a baby to a winery unlike a bar where you might be reported by child protective services.” I thought it was an extremely uncomfortable and unusual comment to make. Clearly she didn’t want us there with our child. There are so many wineries in the area that are accepting of families. Not to mention have far better wine. The wine was awful at TwinOaks and the owner is rude. Don’t go if you have a family or would like to enjoy a good glass of wine. You won’t find...
