2. Steamboat Era Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 58 reviews
The Steamboat Era Museum opened its doors in 2004. It tells the story of the steamboats and how they altered the lives of everyone along the Chesapeake Bay. The steamboats provided an economic lifeline. The cities of Norfolk and, more predominately, Baltimore acted as gateways to the world beyond. The cities provided the markets, the towns provided the goods, and the steamboats provided a means to both. The era is brought to life with models, artifacts, photos . Here you can step back into time; a romantic time full of adventure, splendor and prosperity. Coming this year! The Pilothouse of the Potomac has been restored and will take pride of place in the museum! New exhibits are set to be unveiled with the reopening of the Museum in April, 2021

This is a world class little museum. It's well thought out and beautifully presented. For such a small town, I was surprised to see all the new and creative exhibits that have been installed this year. I did visit last year. The staff are all quite knowledgeable and super friendly. Only $5 for admission and kids under 12 are free and welcomed with a smile! Since I'm a "happy shopper", the gift shop has something for everyone-hooray! I left feeling richer in spirit learning so much about the Era of the Steamboat on the nearby rivers. While it's a small museum, it is full of history. This is a "don't miss" if you are visiting the Northern Neck.

Pretty good winery. I particularly liked that there was ample shaded areas to sit outside. Lovely grounds. The bathrooms have a bit to be desired. We didn't do a wine tasting so I can't talk to the breadth of wines there but the one bottle that we purchased was pretty good. Twas nice to sit near the fountain and hear the water while sipping a nice red. We will return and try the family of wines and update the review at that time.

My husband and I are traveling the Northern Neck...a place neither of us has visited! (We live in Richmond, Va) We stopped at the Hague Winery because of Trip Advisor reviews! DEFINITELY worth the stop! The scenery is beautiful! I was hoping to meet Barbara from NJ after reading some of the reviews. She did not disappoint! Very knowledgeable about the wines we tasted and the farm itself! We left with 3 bottles! I asked how we could get more when we wanted it and she gave me her business card and offered to bring it with her when she visits her grandson in Mechanicsville, which is near our home! I absolutely recommend a stop here...hopefully you get to meet Barbara too! ????

We had a girls day and stopped at General’s Ridge winery. I’m so glad we did because the GRV red is now my favorite red wine from the Northern Neck! We live nearby so I stock up as often as possible. Our Maryland friends love it too, so I get to share! It’s an all around great Red. We’ve never stayed at the house but it looks like a really great getaway, especially for people looking to escape from the city life!
9. Vault Field Vineyards
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Welcome to Vault Field Vineyards, located on historic Vault Field Farm in the heart of Virginia's Northern Neck. Our award winning wines are the result of a marriage between an exceptional terroir and the latest techniques in viticulture. At Vault Field we believe fine wines are made in the vineyard. The care of the vines is yearlong, starting with hand pruning during winter months. Next comes hand weeding and continued pruning during the growing season. Finally, in late fall, when the grapes ripen, we hand pick and sort the individual grapes to produce high quality, premium wines. ALL OF OUR WINES ARE PRODUCED AND BOTTLED ON SITE AND 95% OF WHAT WE BOTTLE IS FROM OUR OWN, VAULT FIELD, GRAPES.

Despite having some bad luck (between COVID and a tornado), they have really made the most out of their property. When we visited, they had their event tent set up to provide shade for a number of tables and had brought in a trailer from which they operated, while the main tasting room was under repair. None of this seemed to slow them down and the service was excellent. The man who helped us was so friendly (even though we realized later we were preventing him from closing up for the day - oops). The wine was excellent and his recommendations based on our normal wine preferences were spot on. We left with a few bottles which we have now enjoyed very much. With such a great experience when they were experiencing difficulties, I can only imagine how great they do when they are operating under more normal circumstances.
