mattaponi winery

The large and welcoming tasting room with exposed wood beams and wooden floors. The staff was wonderful. We arrive right at closing and the staff made us feel right at home. Several of the wines are worth investigating.

The facility wasn't done with construction yet but definitely has potential. We had our tasting on an enclosed porch in plastic cups. This place should be nice once completed. Lots of fruit wines if you like that.

This winery is definitely worth the time to find it. It's not a fancy, looking over the hills, upscale kind of winery. It's quite the opposite. It's a very quaint winery. The purpose of your visit to this winery should be to taste and buy. It's very small, but the wine is outstanding. My husband and I were introduced to this winery at the Powhatan Festival of the Grape. We were on a mission to find them! I'm glad that we did. The owner was/is very friendly, knowledgeable and likes to chat. We left with 2 bottles of Strawberry wine and one Strawberry Chocolate. If you're a fan of fruit 'flavored' wines, you will be a HUGE fan of their wines. They aren't fruit 'flavored'. The strawberry wine tastes just like eating fresh strawberries. It's dangerously delicious! If you like to take wine tours, this winery is a must.

This winery is a hidden gem. First i have to say that it is not like other wineries, you cannot go to this winery sit on the back deck and eat overpriced food. This is solely for visiting and tasting/purchasing their wines. The owner is extremely laid back and casual. With all that being said this winery has the most delicious fruit wines. They use pure fruits, no additives. They sugar and taste is all from the fruit. They have a strawberry chocolate wine that tastes exactly like eating a chocolate covered strawberry. Their fruit wines have won many international competitions over the years. We left with a bottle of their blackberry wine. I believe that this is an up and coming winery especially since Total Wine and More has reached out to them to sell their wine.
