stopped in ...bought a candle holder made from a wine barrel ..really neat .. BUT don't miss the huge "real" (stuffed) floating sea lion up to the left when you walk in ...ask for the cool story around it from New Zealand.

This place was super cool. The wine was good, and I usually don't like dry wines. The food was pretty amazing and I loved the little s'mores kit they provided!

Absolutely fantastic tasting. We sat fireside, tried their tasting flight, talked extensively with the employees and had the BEST time. What a great way to spend a rainy, cold Sunday. Shoutout to Elbie and Robert for excellent hospitality. We will be back!

There was live music on a Friday night with fire pits that added a great atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. And I really appreciated that they are very kid friendly with changing tables.

One of the worst vineyards we’ve visited. Food was not good, service was non existent. Would never go back.

This was definitely a unique experience. Excellent customer service! There were a few bumps in the road, but I loved how the team worked together to sort it out to make it an outstanding experience for my family. Very cool decor and ambiance. The food menu was delightful with sandwich options, fruits, and charcuterie boards. The wine was superb. My favorite white wine was the Petit Manseng. It was semi-sweet with citrus undertones. Definitely recommend trying it, if you love white wines. I wasn't impressed with their Chardonnay.The winery offers indoor and outdoor seating. Make reservations to ensure you have a great experience. The outdoors didn't offer much mountain views, but it was relaxing and enjoyable, especially with the live music. There is an area where the kids can hangout and play games. It was great! This is a nice relaxing vineyard to visit with family or friends.

Cute & quaint winery. The taxidermy at the bar was cool. Highly recommend reserving at table. The waitstaff were very nice and accommodating. The Divina chili fig sauce is absolutely amazing. I ended up buying a jar to take home. Will be back

If you are looking for a unique winery experience in a beautiful setting with delicious food, this is the place for you. Highly recommend reserving a special table or going all out for the safari vineyard wine and lunch tour - Chris and his hosting skills do not disappoint!!!! Virginia has A LOT of great wine. You’ll never be able to see and taste it all on one trip. But you should absolutely put this place at the top of your priority 1, must-do list!

My Daughter was married here. We chose Merrie Mill because it is such a whimsical, magical place. Unfortunately Tropical Storm Ophelia showed up as an uninvited guest. The staff executed the inclimate weather plan flawlessly! The wedding and reception were beautiful and lots of fun. Merrie Mills staff all seem to enjoy working there and making our experience special! Oh, and by the way, their wine is great also:)

Stopped here on the tail end of a road trip. We got in right about when the kitchen was closing (maybe even a couple minutes late) and they were so happy to serve us anyway. The wine was yummy, atmosphere wonderful, and I cannot emphasize enough how nice every single staff member was. They welcomed our dogs and were worried when the only dog bowl they had left clean might be too small (the dogs didn’t care). Highly recommend an ice cream sandwich before you leave. We will absolutely be back and can’t wait to share such a great, quirky find (the decor is so fun)!

Visited here recently on a weekend trip from Georgia with my future in-laws and family. The food and wine were delicious and decently portioned for our group of six. The real highlight for the women of the group was the charming and eclectic interior - I never thought taxidermy could be so whimsical. Of the three vineyards we visited, this was by far my favorite and I highly recommend to those visiting.

Such a cute winery! The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff went above and beyond, even offering to take photos of our group in multiple locations inside and outside the winery. I'm a big fan of their merlot and bought a bottle to go. Their wine prices were very reasonable. It was a great start to our winery weekend!

Merrie Mill is very cute with its whimsical decor and ambiance. The wine flight for $25 was very plentiful and was more than enough, however I would recommend 3 white/rose vs three red wines when it's warm outside.Food was average but the the pimento cheese dip was a hearty portion and the vegetables included were a nice tough.The big reason for the low rating was that we intentionally made a reservation to sit inside due to the heat and the barn doors were open when it was humid and 90 degrees outside. It made for an unpleasant experience. The staff was also sweating profusely which made it unappealing as a customer and I'm sure uncomfortable for staff.
