A Virginia Wine Experience on the Nelson 151 Trail

Situated at the scenic gateway to the Rockfish Valley along Route 151, Valley Road Vineyards invites you to experience a quintessential Virginia winery that beautifully blends tradition, hospitality, and award-winning wines. Since opening in 2016, we have embraced the Monticello Viticultural Area's unique terroir, crafting wines that celebrate the land and the spirit of Virginia. Just a short drive from Charlottesville, Valley Road Vineyards is an ideal stop for locals and visitors seeking a refined yet relaxed wine experience amidst the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains.

Scenic Vineyards and the Monticello Viticultural Area

Our 15-acre Afton campus offers more than just wine—it’s a feast for the senses. As you step onto the property, you’re greeted with commanding views of the Blue Ridge, giving our guests a sense of both grandeur and tranquility.

Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or new to Virginia wines, Valley Road Vineyards promises a memorable experience in one of Virginia’s most celebrated wine regions.

The SIP Tasting Room: An Invitation to Discover

Our tasting room, aptly named “SIP,” is the heart of Valley Road Vineyards. Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., SIP offers a comfortable yet refined setting where you can enjoy a variety of carefully crafted wines. We proudly feature a lineup of fifteen varietals and blends, including our Gold Medal-winning 2014 Petit Verdot—a standout among Virginia wines. With a Classic Tasting of six wines for just $10.95, you’ll have the chance to explore a range of flavors, from bold reds to crisp whites, each showcasing the distinctive characteristics of the Monticello area.

For groups of six or more, we offer an elevated tasting experience with a reservation. At $15 per person, our group tastings allow you and your friends to enjoy our wines in a more personalized and intimate setting. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to guide you through each pour, sharing stories behind the wines and the vision that drives Valley Road Vineyards.
