I like the venue for the music festivals,what I don't like about it is there is an unreasonable mark-up on wine purchased in the venue. $15.00 wine at the winery (just outside of the venue) is $25.00 at the wine station in the venue.The people that sell the wine are volunteers ,so why is there a $10.00 difference.I have been to a lot of wine festivals and the wine prices are always the same in the concert festivals or not.After you pay $34.70 for 2 on-line which is cheaper than at the gate you should not be over-priced for the wine.

There is something special about Tarara Winery that separates them from the rest. As you enter property the tree lined driveway takes you on a drive that during the Spring, Summer and Fall just makes you feel that you are far out and away from the chaos and stress of your everyday life and you immediately begin to unwind. Once you step foot onto the large deck that overlooks the field leading to the Potomac River you realize just how peaceful this place really is. When we enter the tasting room we are always greeted by the friendly staff who are enthusiastic and ready for you to really experience a fun and informative wine tasting. Tarara offers two choices for tastings and both are equally enjoyable. They offer a good selection of whites and reds and even have additional labels to the Tarara brand that are amazingly good, one of which includes grapes from Washington state! (One of my personal favorites) And let me not forget to mention if you are one who really likes a well made smooth Port then you must try White's D9. During the Summer months they hold weekly concert's by lake along with special events throughout the year including tributes to our first responders, police, firefighters and Veterans. And during the holidays if you are looking for that special gift they make spectacular gift baskets that can even be personalized! The membership here is one best values in Northern Virginia.
Such a great experience here! Erin and Bryan made the experience possible and Jonathan completed it for me! The wines are good the atmosphere is perfect. Definitely come here if you re in the area!!!
Very cool rural setting, indoor area feels like you're in a cave. They have live music on Saturdays on their nice porch overlook into early Fall. The wine tasting experience was a bit slow, wines were good but too pricy to buy a bottle.
Usually this place is wonderful. Today we arrived and were swiftly placed at a tasting stand. After we got to the bar we were ignored for 25 minutes. No one started the tasting. No one told us when it might even begin. No one noticed when we just walked out. Very unusual. This was one if our favorite places. Maybe it was an off day.
Not sure how the wine is, but there is no friendly service here. After standing at the tasting bar and not being acknowledged for a while, I happily went to another establishment.
3 miles off the main road, tucked into a lovely "lost corner". 6 or 9 tasting options with a beautiful range of white and red, all regionally grown! If you prefer dry wines to sweet, make this a stop!
By far one of the best wineries in Northern Virginia. Their wines are outstanding, their summer concert series is a great place to hang out on a Saturday evening and enjoy a few glasses of wine with friends. Members benefits are the best of the 8 wineries we belong to 1. Free passes to the concerts 2. Free tasting every visit. 3 private sit down tasting if desired. 4. Memembers only tastings of wines from the library. 5. The staff is thee absolute best, they treat everyone with genuine appreciation that you stopped by for a visit, and they seem to remember each and every member by name. Stop by do a tasting ask Erin and her staff about their membership package.
We only come here during the summer concert series. Best to order tickets online and come early to get a decent spot. You are allowed to bring food but no outside alcohol. Wine is pretty good in comparison to other VA wineries and the staff and service is really friendly.
