This was a fun turn to the other wineries we visited. There wasn't a single wine or mead that we didn't enjoy. I would've been content with a bottle of each in the tasting! It was nice that they had so many available in the tasting to choose from. We went when it was chilly so we weren't able to enjoy the outside. I imagine in the warmer weather it would be a nice place to sit and enjoy a glass (there isn't indoor seating). Another plus is they are pet friendly! Unfortunatley they don't send you off with the glasses to keep as a souvenier, but you can purchase them for $4.

Favorite Wine: Nectarine Melomel and Lavender Metheglin

I love the idea of fruit wines and meads, but all my adventures with them have been really disappointing. Just one afternoon with Hill Top Berry Farm and Winery changed all my associations with fruit wine and mead. They are “true to the fruit” which means that they just use fruits to make the wine. Their meads are also unique and complex. The offer traditional meads as well as melomels (fruit and honey co-fermented) that include fruits like strawberries, blueberries, nectarines, and pomegranates. Besides the tasty wines and meads, the other thing I like most about Hilltop is how educational the tasting is. Hilltop is friendly, provides a great tasting, and is a must visit while in Nelson County.

Favorite Wine: Blue Ridge Mountain Honey Mead

An absolutely wonderful experience. The Pugh's are very freindly and knowledgable about their one of a kind product. This is a must see place while in the mountains of Virginia. You will be pleasantly surprised.
