This winery had a nice private touch. Small awesome tasting room with great seating. The host was great and told us all about the history of the Vinyard.

Our favorite local vineyard and tasting room. Sarah is amazing. Knows the wines, (which are excellent, personal favorite the Euclid white) the area, and always makes us feel welcome.The setting is amazing, views of the Blue Ridge AND the Southwest Mountains, and there is wonderful private outdoor space on the wide lawns bordering the vineyard.We bring our dog every time, and this past Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day with young friends and their 3-year-old. We even got beautiful bouquets from Sarah for the Moms. (The biggest red peony I've ever seen was in mine!)If you like a big spectacle and lots of tourists, this may not be the place for you. No big buses are allowed. Very much an intimate family & friends experience.

Stopped by a couple days ago and the wine was super good across the board but the reds and rose stuck out. Best wine we had on our trip and probably top 3 or 4 wineries we have had in Virginia over the years. Definitely worth trip.

We had a great experience at this private winery. We were happy to visit on a quiet day and were able to have a tasting at the bar by Sara. She is a wonderful addition to our visit because the conversation never stopped. We loved the Tannat and will definitely return.

Stopped in to have a flight, walked out with three bottles of wine. Still kicking myself for not buying more.

Absolutely hands down the best winery in the Charlottesville area. Try their champagne (yes, I know, "sparkling wine"), you will not be disappointed. Their tasting room is gorgeous, and the setting is just lovely. Sarah the host is very friendly, and owner Janet is a wonderful, generous, kind woman-- everything about this place is A+. We love supporting small and local business, but ESPECIALLY woman-owned, small local business!!

We visited today, and the atmosphere of the winery was open and beautiful. Unfortunately they mostly have only dry wines and I was not a fan. This is a dry winery which was great for my husband, but not for me. The woman who greeted us was very friendly. Also it was $10 for four two ounce pours.

Although we have visited the wine trail in that area before, it was the first I saw it on the map and we decided to stop by Chestnut Oak Vineyard. We were very glad we did. Janet, the owner, was very welcoming. We talked about the wines, the history of this vineyard. She had prepared delicious pairings of olives, cheeses and truffles to go with our tastings. The building itself is beautiful. They just finished constructing it not too long ago and the beautiful wine themed mural and the architecture of the building are definitely worth checking out. The wines were excellent. I am always on the lookout for good reds - as they are not that frequent along the East coast, but the Chestnut Oak did not disappoint. Their reds were very good...and so were their whites. I highly recommend to visit this winery - to enjoy the hospitality, the views and the beautiful place. You will be glad you did!

A friend and colleague brought me a bottle of the 2017 Virginia Blend Red Table Wine and it was absolutely perfect. It had just the right amount of fruitiness without being too sweet, just the right amount of richness without being cloying, and just the right amount of brightness without being too sharp. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes their reds to have those characteristics!EDIT: I should add to everyone that I was advised to let this breathe after opening for 20 minutes upon advice from the Vineyard, as some people just start drinking table wines immediately. I took this advice, and if you want best results you should too!

Wonderful wines, so pleasantly surprised! The chard was crisp and perfect. The reds were also spicy and fruity. Will definitely return here!

Enjoyable atmosphere, great staff, tasty wines (Cab Franc and Rosé). The building is nice, especially inside. It's been a little while since we had been there but the outside could use a little more seating. I can't remember if the owner did our tasting but whoever she was was very informative and have is a pleasant visit. Thanks!!

Knowledgeable staff, nice venue, good wines, but wine tastings have devolved into giving you a flight of wine in plastic cups with a piece of paper with descriptions for you to read. Service was great when asked about wines.

Spent a lovely afternoon at my new favorite winery - Cheatnut Oak. It has a beautiful setting, a wonderful Tasting Room Manager, and most importantly, truly delicious wines. Chestnut 0ne, their flagship red is outstanding. We will be back’

Awesome wine with awesomer service;). The only knock is that it is not wheelchair accessible. There is a step up onto the walk, two steps onto the patio and a threshold at the door. Would be nice if they would install accessible features so that their delicious wine could be enjoyed by all

Wonderful place to experience. Met the owner and proprietor, and he made it all worth it. The wine is superb, and meeting him made it even better. If you visit, ignore the rudimentary nature and enjoy the experience.

Great wine, knowledgeable staff, and a beautiful view!! Taking current safety into advisement and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the view. Love the flights!!

Excellent wine, great views, quiet and serene. It’s a great reprieve from the business of Barboursville Winery! My wife and I loved it here.

Fantastic white and red wines from VA. Offering a well complemented cheese and cracker plate. Better than some of the other Charlottesville big boy wineries.

Great tasting room, it was an awesome wood framed structure. Great staff, a lot of people showed up but the staff were able to handle it.

Limited white wines varietal. Tiny venue, no outdoor space to enjoy and a tactless owner. The sign should read "no kids allowed".
