Veritas Winery

We had visited this vineyard fourteen years ago and were expecting winery and wine changes. The beautiful hillside setting was undisturbed, but the wines had not significantly developed in expression(s) over the years. Five of their wines had been named as Virginia Governor’s Cup Gold Medal Winners, but their tastes did not align to our expectations. We went for the wines, but enjoyed mostly sitting comfortably on their covered deck listening to a delightful solo guitarist.

We've been to this winery a couple times. The winery and tasting room is beautiful. View from the picnic area is tremendous, especially in the Fall.

Favorite Wine: Othello

I found a couple new reds here but i prefer a more intimate setting for a wine tasting. The banquet hall was packed our entire visit and there is a wait with the staff stretched between several tables or a crowded bar. This is definately a popular place and we were there late in the day so it may had something to do with the crowd. I would visit again for more Othello, i marinated my steaks in it for a couple days, grilled them and it was the best steaks I've ever made

Favorite Wine: Scintilla and Othello

Veritas is probably the largest and most well-known of all the wineries in the area. They have very extensive grounds with lots of gazebos and tables tucked away for you to go and enjoy a glass of wine. In addition to beautiful grounds, they have a very impressive tasting room that is an updated, more contemporary looking lodge. Although it was fun visiting Veritas, the experience lacked the welcoming and friendliness of other vineyards I've vised in Nelson County Hill Top and Wintergreen. The wines were also not nearly as impressive as I thought they would be.

Arcady Vineyard loves to bring guests to Veritas. They have a very informative Sommelier there who gives wonderful tours! Try their Sauvignon Blanc - very difficult to grow in Central Virginia, but this winery has it figured out! They have a Reserve Sauvignon Blanc to be released this year that is predicted to be fantastic! Beautiful location with outdoor tables for lunching. During the warmer weather on the second Saturday of the month they have "Starry Nights" - live music and dancing - bring a blanket or a chair and dinner and have some fun!
