King Family Vineyards

Favorite Wine: 2014 Petit Verdot

The original setting was set up for equestrian polo by Texans in 1996 and by 1998 the owners were convinced that their properties were ideal for vineyards. Though we came a bit late for normal service, the staff sized us up quickly and readily accommodated our requests for tasting specific wines. Beautiful setting with the addition of a food truck at the entrance of the tasting room serving crab salad, shrimp & lobster rolls and other items that would pair well with the wine offerings. What a different and neat idea for those sitting around with a King Family Vineyards wine. In spite of the beautiful setting, prices were a bit more grounded compared to the accelerated prices of nearby wineries, plus not only were there 5%, 10% & 15% regular purchase discounts (more for wine club members), but they also attached another military 10% discount for those deserving. How classy, ~ thank you! Just for the record, we could not leave without a case of their 22 month French oaked 2014 Petit Verdot. Drink now or hold for several years, but I can see us returning for more in the years to come to this delightful Virginia setting.

While at the winery we watched a polo match taking place behind the winery. The gentleman giving the tasting descriptions was excellent, wine was excellent. Wonderful time.

Favorite Wine: Meritage

I love the open feel of the place. When I went to the King Family Vineyard it was with a group of friends for a private tasting in the back barrel room. I enjoy the background behind each wine and what it might pair with as far as food goes. I would recommend this vineyard to everyone!!

Favorite Wine: That's hard - I guess the Viognier/Chardonnay blend or Merlot

We love bringing guests to this winery. The view is superb and the service excellent. Call ahead if you have a group of 10 or more so they can be ready for your group! Tastings are $5 at this time and you also keep the glass which is a nicely sized red wine glass. Great location for souvenir shopping or that gift for the baby sitter! In season (around May to September) they have polo games every Sunday which are free and you can tailgate, get a picnic, buy a bottle of wine, and enjoy the action! This winery has been written up by major wine magazines as "the best new winery on the East Coast!"

Also, they were very swift and thorough with replies to any inquiries that I had.

Favorite Wine: Cabernet Franc

What an amazing place. Can I live here? I purchased my first case from this Winery (Cab Franc, 2006), and also a Late Harvest Viognier.
