Naked Mountain Winery Review

Love the winery. The people are so nice as well as the wine.

It's a nice place to stop in, and they are taking Covid-19 precautions seriously. They have a large tasting room with properly-spaced seating, and a fair amount of patio space. Their grounds are fairly extensive, and guests can sit where they like. With that, their wines are above average but I've never felt they were spectacular. Right now, they are offering tasting flights of 5 wines and my wife and I tried all of their offerings. There are far more whites than reds, but a few of the whites tasted a little green, and the Chardonnay is very oaky. There are 2-3 winners in the bunch, but several leave something to be desired.

The staff is amazing. Always helpful and courteous. Beautiful scenery. Sangria is tops.

As other have said, hot tasting room and disinterested staff to the point of rudeness. Cannot recommend.

A large selection of wines if you like light bodied & fruit forward. The ambience was nice and it's a gorgeous view. I didn't care for much of the wine but that is more of a personal taste. Had to wait a few times during the tasting for our tasting host to return for a pour. One of the only places I've ever seen multiple people pour their glasses into the dump bucket.
The rose was very unique and enjoyable.

Pets were allowed which we didn't care for. The wine was ok. The view was good. It was a beautiful drive to the winery.

Naked Mountain Winery really accentuates the quiet, calm, quaint wineries in Virginia. The staff was very friendly, the food, while limited, was very good and neatly/cleanly prepared. We tried the flight, and enjoy the various reds and whites they offered. Overall, a very relaxing winery, not too big or overwhelming, and had beautiful views of the Vineyard from the deck.

If you are a red wine lover like myself, this place is not for you.

Nice people. Picnic tables available. The road to get there is very narrow.

wine is good, staff is a bit dry like their wine, cash register girl, you need to serve! a bit high $$ for a tasting, should offer $$ back for purchase.

Wines are great, with a good variety and nice food options. The view is one of the best and the people here are absolutely wonderful. This continues to be our favorite winery to visit when we need to get away from DC for a little while!

Just an excellent vineyard. Come during winter for the lasagna lunches and the gorgeous views of the Shenandoah mountains.

Decent wine, but the place is junky, and there were stinkbugs EVERYWHERE.

There were literally hundreds of them crawling all over every window, and it was pretty unappealing to watch them crawling all over the windows behind the bartenders. There was even one on the table my girlfriend and I were sitting at.

Also the place is only accessible by a tiny one-lane road with no turn-offs and a blind corner (you have to honk your horn so the driver on the other side doesn't hit you head on).

The 2nd star is only because I enjoyed the wine. I might buy a bottle at the supermarket but I would never visit this place again.

After being treated rudely at Delaplane Cellars and they have absolutely NO parking we came to Naked Mountain and had a nice afternoon. Great customer service and enjoyed my wine.

We have been coming for years as a part of our apple picking fall trips and really like them. But, their wines really jumped in price this year ($8+ per bottle more than usual), and many weren't as good as previous years. We will still come and hope next year's are better.

This is a winery/restaurant which makes it unique. Not sure if they serve food daily, but they had table dining on a Saturday while we were there Feb. 2018. There is tons of seating. Nice patio. Wines are decent. Especially white. Reds are always little hit or miss in Virginia. This is one of my fav spots for the atmosphere. Love it in the warmer months.

Wine tasting and food. Nice big wood paneled room lots of space. Very strange arrangement for tasting standing at the bar and using the same glass for all the wines. Of the wines one white and one red were of a good standard and the port was wonderful. One of the wines was corked this did not seem to be understood by the server. The food served seated! Was of good quality, nice cheeses and smoked salmon, the prosciutto was fairly tasteless. Water served in a white plastic cup....come on. Nice balcony area make for a pleasant picnic. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

The most awesome place you gotta see it and the wine is like no other!!!

Lots of outdoor area so good place to go and still be socially distanced

One of my favorite wineries. Feels intimate and great for families. Wine is delicious too! You are allowed to bring a lunch (eating outside). but they do offer plates of simple cheeses and meats.

Wow Naked Mountain winery truly delivered! Jacob was exceptional as he guided us through an unforgettable wine tasting experience. We learned wine lingo and savored every taste along the way. Our time was equal parts educational and conversational :) Will be back sooner rather than later.

We just experienced their Lasagna lunch. Excellent. Second year in a row. 10 of us. We enjoy their wines. Lots of blends.

Great winery in a very scenic area of rural Virginia. With a host of various reds and white wines to choose from everyone will find something to appeal to their palate. Summer time also offers some great sangria wine options and a nice variety of snacks including cheeses, caprese bread and hummus trays. The winery has a huge outdoor area with a few private sections great for parties and a huge outdoor patio area. There is a very nice private area for monthly winery members and great views of the vineyard and valley throughout. Brooke our wine guide and guest host did an awesome job taking care of us and made sure she followed up with water, wine and food no matter where we roamed in the building area. Make sure to ask about the monthly member specials - some of the best winery member benefits I have seen thus far in Virginia. Looking for a tranquil place for a group party or afternoon with friends? This is definitely worth a stop and putting on your map of places to visit!

Buyer beware. If you join the wine club they will send you a case of wine but only two different flavors being one red and one white in my case. If you want to change out the bottles to have different flavors of wine...... you get charged extra. Any other wine club that I belong to sends you different bottles throughout the entire case. This winery seems to send you only there two cheapest wines they have on stock. For that reason I canceled my membership.

The tasting room was hot, the staff was stretched thin and seemed disinterested, the wines were good though.

This is one of my favorite wineries! As soon as I entered, I was greeted by friendly staff. I ordered a snack plate before my tasting as I had arrived on an empty stomach. The demi baguette was delicious! The wine tasting was wonderful. I got to sample 9 of their wines. The wine maker himself poured my tastings. I had a fantastic experience with some fabulous wines.

This place is super cute. They allow dogs inside the winery so that s a huge plus. They also have a nice big spacious patio and they have live music on Saturdays. Their tastings were really good, we had the Virginia wine pass so one tasting was $10 and the second was free. Definitely a good deal. The entire staff is super friendly and they have good customer service. This was my second time here and I ll continue to come back!

We love taking our pup to Naked Mountain, and she loves sitting in front of the fireplace! The staff gives her lots of love when they get a chance!

We are a queer couple. While they have never stated whether they are LGBTQIA friendly or not, we have encountered many alternative type people (for lack of a better term and inability to confirm how they identify) and the staff has always been warm and welcoming. We have never felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately at this time they do not have gender neutral bathrooms.

Great staff and atmosphere. Good selection of wines for just about every palate. Worth the drive...

Such a beautiful place. Loved the scenery. Great people. Will definitely go bacj.

Great wine. Perfect spot for concerts.... Hint hint.

Great variety had fruity white wines with pineapples, buttery chardonnays, earthy and jammy reds, and two tasting menus that they alternate each week. They also had a food small food selection there with a lasagna deal. $11 for lasagna, $15 for lasagna and a glass of wine, and $40 for two lasagna dishes and a bottle of wine.

The service is awful. We went there today, and the staff (manager it seemed primarily) could not have been more rude. What a waste. Don t waste the drive.

My favorite wines in the local area. Worth the drive every time my wife and I have visited.

I just opened a 2008 Raptor Red that I purchased during a visit to Naked Mountain. It is so flavorful!! Very impressive! I am planning another trip there before summer's end.

My fiance and I visited Naked Mountain Winery last fall and absolutely loved it! We loved it so much that we decided to have our wedding there in the spring. We worked with Sandy and Michelle through the whole process and could not have asked for more accommodating people! They were amazing, our wedding was a huge success and everyone loved the place! We would recommend having a wedding there if you are looking for a smaller, intimate wedding with beautiful scenery!

The wines are not that great. Nothing was impressive at all, there are so many great wineries in the area and this one does not even come close. I'm not sure why there are so many good reviews on google.

Also, to get into the winery you have to drive in on a windy, raised path that only fits one car. So if a car is approaching from the opposite direction, you have to stop and back up, hoping that your car will not fall off the hill and tumble below. We were shocked driving in to find such dangerous conditions, and really wondered why anyone would come back a second time.

I think this winery is selling the ambiance of the facility (which smells really funky when you walk in) and the views, and not really great wine itself.

We were greeted by a very helpful employee who was extremely positive and welcoming! He asked what kind of wine/Sangria we liked and was able to recommend what would best be suited for us. The Sangria was delicious and we will definitely be coming back!

Love it! Great location, great wines. Awesome outdoor seating if the weather is good.

Had a great time tasting the wines and enjoying a glass in this beautiful winery. There were wines that everyone in my small group could enjoy, from the dry reds to the sweeter, fruity wines. Casual setting with amazing-smelling lasagna (I didn't partake, but I wanted to...)

Good wine and snack foods. Dogs and kids allowed. Great for grabbing a bottle of wine, sitting under a tree, and relaxing for a few hours.

Great wine, good food and friendly staff made a great Sunday afternoon!

This is a lovely little vineyard in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. They have several picnic shelters, a little lake and many comfy Adirondack chairs on the lawn if you want to relax and enjoy the mountain air. They also have a relatively new deck with tables, chairs and umbrellas - and live music some weekends. The wine is good (even though we aren't oenophiles) and they also serve some small plates of nibbles to go with your vino. Highly recommended for a day trip - we usually combine this with a visit to the Hart Orchard down the street for some pick-your-own apples. Makes a great day trip from the DC area.

First time ever in a vineyard. The experience was incredible perfect from service to the best wine I have ever tried. Beautiful views.
Indeed will be back soon and often !

Decent wine, sweet and dry. Staff was friendly, but it was a bit overstretched on the weekend. The atmosphere was nice as well.

My new girlfriend loved your wines and the food selection, helping to make it a great wine country date!

Great location, tasty wines, and the wine club is easily the best around!

I have to say that I have been to many, many wineries. I have experienced many different kinds of wine, and many different people at these wineries. I have found no one more knowledgeable, pleasant and deserving of a rave review than Laura of Naked Mountain Winery and Vineyards. We had spent an entire weekend of visiting wineries and friendly banter with the owners and employees. You would be surprised at the general lack of knowledge that some of these places showed. I'll be honest, the actual wine at this particular location wasn't our favorite, but Laura made us want to stay. We ended up buying several bottles of wine and ordering food just because of how much Laura added to the experience. The winery is also dog friendly which we LOVED. We have every intention of returning to this winery and will call ahead to make sure that Laura is there. Many thanks Laura, and we hope that Naked realizes what an asset they have with you as an employee.

Fantastic people. Every person working was part of the team. Very impressed. Wine tasting was wonderful. Mary explained all wines very well. Wonderful place, great experience.

Dog friendly! Very cool little winery. Good live music. Prices can easily drift into the triple digits but you're getting what you pay for!

Absolutely love this winery. When we visited we got to experience our tasting with the wine maker. We had great conversation with the staff and took home a couple bottles of wine and souvenirs. Atmosphere is very chill and laid back. Highly recommend this winery.

Visited 16 wineries in the area over the past couple days. During the Covid restrictions it can be a mystery as to how different wineries are operating currently.
Naked Mountain was very clean and friendly. They are offering wine in flights, glass and bottle. The wines we ok.

Dog approved!
Fantastic place to enjoy a picnic with the pooch. Our husky was allowed into the building for a quick tasting then onto the lawn for a picnic and a chilled bottle of wine (or two).
Wines are reasonably priced and they have some snacks for sale.
All in all a great trip.

Would give zero stars if I could. The wine was simply undrinkable.

Went for lasagne. Food was good, wine was good. Experience was eh. Been going to naked mountain winery for over 10 years, I have always loved it. I don't think I will ever go back. What used to be a balcony is now an ugly light blue colored room with small windows. My 2 favorite things about getting lasagne there was sitting near the fireplace, enjoy the wood beams and the beautiful view. Now, you can't really see any view and you're lucky if you get to even be see the fire place let alone be near it. There's nothing "wrong" with naked mountain winery, but in my opinion it lost what made it special.
