River Hill Wine and Spirits is a family owned, farm based winery and distillery located along the Shenandoah River in Luray, Page county, Virginia. We pride ourselves in small batch high quality Wines and Whiskeys.

You have to drive through a neighborhood that turns into a farm to get to River Hill, but it is well worth tracking down. It is a pretty small operation as distilleries go, but the owners are really down to earth and enthusiastic. Pop is happy to give a tour of the unassuming place: there is the tap room, and the small room behind it is the distillery. "This is my vat, those over there are my barrels." The bourbon and corn whiskey he makes are all worth picking up. If they aren't the best you've had, you will appreciate the taste of down home honesty. My wife was happy to chat with Mom and sample the fruity wines they sell (yes, including Sweet Potato.) I find those type of wines good for desserts or pancakes, but my wife likes the occasional spritzer. They were out of one that my wife selected, but she got a kick out of watching Pop decant her bottle directly from a barrel, and he let her label it and put the seal over the cork. The property itself is pretty large, and they do a number of other things aside from the distillery. You can buy meat at the counter with your wine, and they also board horses and I understand they have a shooting range. This is a place you want to visit just so you can recognize it when some author inevitably includes it as a setting in a novel.

We are small boutique winery located in the Shenandoah Valley. We are a different winery in that we grow "Hybrid" grapes. Our International award winning wines including our "Arandell" have won a Silver Medal recently in the 2020 International Sommelier Challenge in California in a blind tasting.

3. Glen Manor Vineyards

4.5 based on 120 reviews
Great wines, fantastic service, knowledgeable owners, educational visit. First stop on any winetasting trip in the northern Shenandoah Valley, VA MUST include the Glen Manor Vineyards. Bag a picnic lunch, purchase a top-quality wine from these folks, and spend an hour or two on the grounds. You will not be disappointed! PS. Stop at the Elements Restaurant in Front Royal for your lunch-to-go. The gourmet food pairs nicely with all of Glen Manor's selections.

What a GLORIOUSLY relaxing & enjoyable visit my friends & I had at Glen Manor Vineyards yesterday! Three of us had driven up from Fredericksburg, VA, meeting up with a friend who lives locally & who had highly recommended this winery. And was he ever right! He'd made reservations for us all, so we could enjoy a leisurely afternoon sampling delicious red & white flights, sharing a favorite bottle, spreading out our picnic lunch, & safely visiting w/ one another while taking in wide open views of the gorgeous vineyards, Blue Ridge Mountains, & Skyline Drive high above. Unlike many wineries that crowd in as many people as they are able, Glen Manor presently is open by reservation only, providing first rate customer service, & taking superior (yet not at all onerous) precautions to ensure everyone's safety - from their initial greeting & tableside service to their restroom policy, to final purchases, payment, & good-byes-til-next-time! First rate customer service experience, exceptional environment, delicious wines ... What a MARVELOUS DAY we all had! THANK YOU, GLEN MANOR!

We visited Barren Ridge Vineyard as a member of Harvest Host in our 39 ft RV for an overnight stay. We were greeted by the owners Angela and Rob who gave us a history of the property and their vineyard and wines, We were treated to a front row table overlooking the beautiful vineyard and surrounding mountains. We shared a bottle of Cabernet with a cheese plate and bought bottles of their Riesling to take home, I highly recommend stopping here for the Great Wine and Beautiful scenery. The owners are great hosts and you will not be disappointed.

Great local Virginia vineyard with good wines and very good countryside view. Enjoyed most of the wines we tried in our tasting. Also loved the hot mulled wine (available this December), one of the best mulled wines we've had and great if you visit in the winter!

Award-winning estate wines from the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. Winner of the 2015 VA Governor's Cup. Fine wines, delicious food, panoramic views. Just 90 minutes from DC and two miles off I-81.
Reviewed By ArlingtonNOVA - Arlington, United States
The vineyards are in a beautiful setting. The wine is award winning. Food selection on the mid-week day that we went was limited (more is available on weekends). We did the 1.8 mile self-guided walking tour around the estate after we finished our wine testing. Dogs are welcome and ours loved running around off leash.

From the minute you ascend the mountain you see why the owners decided to establish a winery here!!! WHAT A VISION!!!! The view of the blue mountains in a distance, the landscape bursting with the colors of fall foliage then gazing down the hill at rows of vines make this a perfect place to end your wine tour in the mountains!!! The owners and staff were very warm and friendly. The establishment was super clean and the outdoor seating was much better than any other winery we've been to in the part of Va. The rose wine was TOP NOTCH!!! This is a 'must stop' visit on your wine tour for sure!!
