Our wedding was held here and it was nothing more than perfection! Amanda was great to work with! we also are wine club members and love Ellen in the tasting room! she is the best!! Also- and key, the wine is incredible. People at the wedding who are a bit snobbish about wine loved all three option...

Enjoyed spending time in the tasting their wines. The view of one of the vineyards is GREAT. You can see their wine Production area on the lower floor. The out side seating would be a nice place to enjoy a bottle and snack. The offer cheese and crackers.

I thought it was a wine tasting experience should be with an incredible view. No one was pushing me to buy anything... they didn't have too. The tastings sold the wine. I just wish they sold it here in the Carolinas. Dreaming Tree is great but Blenheim has some explosive tastes for the taste bu...

I am not a sommelier, a wine snob, or even a self-proclaimed wine-o, but I did grow-up tagging along to wine tastings across the country with my oenophile parents. In the past six years I have been to a good number of wine festivals and wine tastings, myself. Now that I m adequately credentialed: ...

First time out visiting a friend in Charlottesville, and I LOVED this place! Apparently it s owned by Dave Matthews, which is neat. The entire place, including the view, is stunning. Really fair prices. The staff was really friendly and the guy who did our tasting was very personable (and also very ...

The parking agent turned my group of eight away at 4:02PM because they do not a accept groups of more than 7 after 4:00PM. We drove an hour to visit this winery and were very disappointed to be turned away for having one person over their group limit at two minutes after their cutoff time. They shou...

Views were spectacular! And love that the Blenheim Green Truck was easy to spot in the vineyards, lol. Totally wanted a shirt, but they didn t have my size.

And the wine! We became wine club members on our first visit because it was such a great deal for superb wine! Both the Painted Red and Whi...

Dani and I did a full tasting [5 wines] The Cab Franc and The Painted Red were our favorites. The tasting room is unique in that when you walk in there are windows to the basement barrel room and offered beautiful view out to the vineyard. There is outside seating just off the tasting room as well...

My group and I drove 45 minutes to the winery and the parking attendant turned us away because there were 8 of us and he said they only accept groups of 7 people after 4:00. It was 4:02 and what kind of rule is that? He was so rude about it. Should we have separated into groups of 4 and pretend we d...

Blenheim Vineyards was a beautiful stop, with stunning grounds, and absolutely fantastic architecture. The staff were very welcoming, and I love the unique quality of their wine labels, Dave Matthews himself draws the artwork for their red and white that they do seasonally. While everything in the p...

Went here two years ago. I heard people talking about this place recently, and it reminded me of the worst experience I ve ever had at a winery. This place, will make you feel bad. There is an old man there who knows how to make you feel like you are not classy enough to be there. He told us to leav...

Maybe we visited on an off day but didn't get the full experience that I'm sure this place could offer. Tasted from the outside bar in late October. We got there about an our before closing so maybe they were looking to get out of there but overall we just had an average experience. Good wine tho...

We have been to this winery every October for 7years. We have always been able to bring our glasses back for a free tasting until this year. Our tasting guy Jimmy had no personality and the entire experience ruined our vibe for the day. This has always been our favorite place to go to and chill in a...

The first two times I went to this winery were nice; however, the third time I came with my family and had an awful experience. To start, my sister was instructed to park in the shell walk way, not an actual parking spot, and the guide made her park so close to the car next to her that she could not...

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Blenheim. First and foremost, the wines (both red and white) are excellent, and not just for Virginia wines but for wines in general (we're from California, so that is saying a lot). The property is absolutely beautiful - from the incredible panoramic ...

Visited today for a tasting on our way to Charlottesville. We arrived to find 2 groups already into their tastings. We were directed to the end of one of the bars where their employee who was also helping all of the other patrons started us on the tasting. He slowly moved from one group to anothe...

Worst wine tasting experience ever! We were visiting from out of state (group of 8). The outside tasting bar was not busy. Only 3 other people. As we stepped up to bar we were asked if we had reservations since we had a group of 8. We were not aware reservations were needed. The female server w...

I am just blown away with their Cabernet Franc. One of the best reds in this area. The setting is awesome and the space is clean. The bathrooms are very clean as well.
I tried their painted red as well and it is not as good as the Cabernet Franc however it is still a great tasting wine.
Definitely...

Beautiful place. The staff needs some training on what to say to customers. Was told we had to leave the wine area sharply at 5:15 but could be on upstairs patio to finish wine by 5:25 and off property by 5:30 so the staff could drink. Yes Dave Mathews that's what we we are told. You can think it bu...

Gorgeous new vineyard with pretty solid wine. The deck right outside has tables and a fantastic view. The cabin has a great feel and atmosphere inside. I only docked a star because I personally did not enjoy the wine here quite as much as some close-by competitors, but it was still very good.

This rating reflects the fact that I never got a chance to see the vineyard. Poor planning for weather conditions and the vineyard canceled my reservation. Honestly, any vineyard that charges for reservations can't be all that good if they need to make money on a cover charge.

Blenheim winery is a perfect spot to visit as you tour Virginia's wine country. A limited selection of some quite nice whites and a couple of reasonable reds. Definite stop on any wine tour. Please designate a driver or take a wine tour from a local hotel!!

Knowing we were cutting it close and that last tastings were at 5:15pm, we made it and were standing at the tasting bar at 5:16pm but got turned away. It seemed incredibly inflexible especially after we explained we would be happy to try more than one pour at once. Did not give a very friendly vibe ...

I've been to Blenheim plenty of times in person, but I wanted to give them a particular shout out for their Doorstep Duo / online ordering during the pandemic. The team has been super prompt in their deliveries and each package is thoughtfully curated to help support local businesses. A+ Blenheim!

The atmosphere is great and quaint, & the scenery is breathtaking; however it smells almost like horse stables. But the wine is delicious even though you only get 5 included in the tasting. They do give you a glass to take home as a souvenir.

Beautiful piece of property and great wine to boot. Very dog friendly, they have plenty of outdoor seating and a pump to fill up a dog bowl with water. Staff were fantastic and let us do a flight even though it was a weekday. Definitely check it out!
