Lovely venue and a great Cabernet Sauvignon. The sausage and mushroom flatbread was yummy too.

I had my engagement ceremony at this location and I must say I was very disappointed with the service. The staff was not friendly, or accommodating, i felt ignored. My experience was horrible

I applaud the winery for having a tasting flight that was dedicated solely to white wines that was reasonably priced at $22. My fav sip was the Clara C Brut Prosecco.Beyond the amazing offerings, the property is steeped in American history. Formerly a plantation, the house located on the grounds, dates back to 1775 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.As more research is done at the winery, I look forward to seeing how the enslaved African Americans are incorporated into the narrative of this property.

Nice atmosphere, minus the bees. The local unfortunately wasn’t great. Food was ok, staff was friendly. Overall we had a nice time. Not sure I’d come back as there are other great wineries in the area but I have no regrets.

I got the red flight and strongly disliked all their wine, very bitter and taste like bad medicine. I asked for a refund and only took a sip from each glass, so clearly was not trying to pull a fast one and they declined…your product is bad, normally that would constitute a refund. Terrible experience.

I'm a wedding photographer and have LOVED my experience photographing two different weddings at Fleetwood. Both days were rainy, but the venue had a good plan and team on board to adjust the plan as needed! Both the outdoor ceremony space and the reception area are GORGEOUS. Fleetwood is one of my favorite wedding venues I'm worked at!

Wine is fair, food typical, gardens are very nice, but on a hot day like today when it's too hot to sit outside, if you're expecting a nice relaxing environment, go elsewhere. They have an extremely loud band playing inside. No one can hear anyone else, to include the staff. It's exactly like a bar, not like I think most people would expect at a winery.

Absolutely lovely winery. The grounds are stunning. Such a sweet place to go and relax on the weekend.

Fleetwood is by far one of my favorite wineries in Northern VA and not just because it's close to home. I've been a long time customer since they opened because the wine is great and the staff are not only knowledgeable but super kind! Whenever I get a glass, my glass is a hefty pour which is nice for the price per glass. I love that you can keep a tab opened and close out once you're done. They do a teacher discount night which I love as a former FCPS teacher that also has a husband who is still currently teaching for LCPS. It makes for the perfect happy hour after a long day of work. My favorite wine is the Viognier because it's on the sweeter side with notes of peach, tangerine and honeysuckle. When it's the Summer I love getting their sangria and during the Fall I get their mulled wine. They also do flights, including a sangria flight called the "Garden Party".They often have live music. I was recently there when they had a pianist playing outside on the lawn. I was impressed with how well he was playing in the heat. He was great and it made our time there relaxing! They've broadened their food menu by adding a lot more dips and cheeses. I love that they have more than just charcuterie. My favorite food to order is the warm camembert with pepper jelly. It's absolutely amazing as it's baked in a warm flaky pastry and then topped with a sweet and spicy jelly. My husband loves their flatbreads - they have 8 different kinds and are all gluten free. Landscaping is beautiful. They have several event spaces including their stunning garden, the grand terrace, the loft which is often used for private events, and the carriage house which is actually their original building. The carriage house will always hold a special place in my heart as it's where my parents first met my now husband and where his parents first met me, AND where both our parents met each other prior to our engagement! Looking back, maybe we should've gotten married here!Note: It's adult only, no pets or kids.

My mom and sister threw my surprise birthday party at Fleetwood last weekend. The venue was perfect, we had reserved tables in the tasting room with space for our large group. They had a great selection of wine and the food was delicious, especially the flat breads. The service was outstanding, Alex Gandarillas took amazing care of all of our guests. I also understand he was extremely accommodating with all of the pre-party requests.I highly recommend Fleetwood for your next event!!

Just driving by and passed this place. One of the many great wineries in the area. A beautiful thing! Decided to come in for a drink or three and was very glad we did.I started with some sangria and then enjoyed it so much that I had it again. And maybe again. Also had a charcuterie board which was delicious and fairly priced. Some places go nuts on the prices for some cheese. The cheese tax isn't that high! But these guys were good.Great views. Had a lady playing live music. And even saw someone propose and another asked to close their picnic basket because no outside food or beverages allowed. Gotta pay the cheese tax.Overall a pleasant time.

The winery is very pretty, lots of trees around so you can barely see the street. The Camembert cheese with pepper jelly was the star of the show for me, the cheese was warm and melted with a nice sweet heat from the pepper jelly. The wine was good but nothing special for me. I do wish the winery would wash the chairs more often because there was a lot of bird p*** on them.

Beautiful inside and out - beautiful gardens and tons of seating inside and out. Music was very loud and hard to talk. We had the garden tasting, which I think could have been great, but they were very watered down, likely due to the ice. We would go back, very friendly staff.

This winery has a later opening time than others I've been to. It has a more relaxing vibe and has a covered patio/deck area if you want to stay out of the sun. The spring house red was the best out of the red wines I've tried. It was easy to drink, sweet, but not overly sweet. It was refreshing and as it's served chilled. The prices for a bottle of wine are pretty decent. The prices for food are high. Smaller portion size than expected for the flat breads. Despite the high prices for the food I give 4 stars because of the great service I had.

Honestly, I can't hate on this place! I really enjoyed my first visit here. Super close located right next to brambelton. It's very close to the Brambelton golf course. We didn't have a reservation prior to arriving on a Saturday at 1pm. It's a very spacious place! They had one part of the venue with a wedding going on and two areas for tasting. The service was alright. They were laid back and flexible and allowed us to just move tables around so we could accommodate for our group. The view on the patio was really nice and chill. The person assisting us with selecting wine seemed a bit stiff and not super friendly but she got the job done lol. The wine was actually really good!!! They had a variety of sweeter and dryer wines. We ordered one red (the Cab) and one white wine (the loft). I loved both options!!Food- we got a couple of flatbreads. One Buffalo Chicken, a Pepperoni, and a margarita pizza. The flatbreads were wayyyyy smaller than expected for the price so I was very disappointed about that. You would have to order quite a bit for larger groups. We got the crab dip as well which was also very small portions and they were skimp on the bread. Most places will give you a full baguette or plenty of pieces of the bread. Overall although the food tasted good it doesn't feel like it's with it for the portion. Overall, I did like the winery. It's a nice close location and seems good for a date night. However, I wouldn't say it's my favorite winery. Only due to There's other locations with much better views, food options and portions, and staff. Also, the tasting was VERY SMALL portions for the price. In tiny little plastic cups. Maybe it's price cuts not sure.... But they need to be better about expensive prices and cheating out their customers
