“A hidden gem lurking down a long drive in the Virginia countryside. The secret is that it is not only wines but spirits produced at this location. An award winning whisky, two brandys, and a rum with cinnamon and nutmeg. The $10.00 tasting flight is worth a try, but don't expect to be wowed by a life changing tasting experience. These are unique and small batch experiences that are worth the visit.The staff are knowledgeable and approachable and willing to assist novice and experienced tasters.The grounds are large enough to walk a dog in without worrying about too many people being too close, and parking is a breeze... and free.The wine tasting in the main house is again well priced and worth the time. Some of you snobs may be pleasantly surprised and one or two of the offerings that punch above their weight. In particular, the Melange de Maison.“

“Wow.. I thought I posted my review a while ago but I don't see it here... so, here goes again. WAR Craft Brewery is the bomb! Brad does such an amazing job on his brews. I think he is one of the best home brewers I've tried yet. There is no funny after taste to his beers. He started making his own alcohol and is just waiting for the all ducks to get in a row so he can sell it. He did make his own white and red wines and I have to say his White wine rates up there as one of the BEST Chardonnays I have EVER had- he somehow got the best of oak and steel barrels in this formula. Otherwise they sell some Rapidan Winery wines; good product, but, if its' not his, I'll stick with my Commissar and Toasted Marshmallow syrup. That's the other thing... who ever would have thought to add flavored syrups to brews!!!?? Genius. His ciders are also really great too. the Aloha is the best one. As for the food, its light fare, but man is it awesome. Amanda, Brad's wife and her mom kick out the best Pimento Cheese dip around! They also started doing charcuterie boards and have crafted some very creative ones at that. The ambiance is one a Vet can appreciate. It is a small building, but there is lots of land and outside seating as well. There is a fire pit and they have lawn games people can play while there. Dogs are welcome! And often they will do a Pup of the week and post it on their FB page. We love supporting Brad and Amanda and recommend it as the go to craft brewery when you come to the area. They work their butts off and often get help from Amanda's parents and their kids.“
