“An absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable--Dederick was attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing. The tasting room, loft area and expansive patio with breathtaking views were awesome and very relaxing. The wines were all good quality. We preferred the whites over red, especially the Chardonnay- they offer 3 versions- oaked, unoaked and barrel fermented! We brought bottles of all three home. Reds were primarily bordeax style blends, each with unique characteristics.It's rare to find a place that exceeds expectations on all fronts like this. Highly recommend for an unforgettable winery experienc!My rating rationale+1 Service+1 Wine~Taste/flavor/quality+1 Presentation+1 Atmosphere/vibe+1 Value“

“Upon arrival we were greeted very friendly by Amanda and Whiticar, the owners. It was very kind and thoughtful to be provided warm blankets as we were cold but wanted to sit outdoors. They are both amazing people! Very welcoming hosts as we spoke to them for a long time. They gave us honest recommendations. We spent 3 hours enjoying the view. It was so refreshing and relaxing. The wine and charcuterie board were delicious! Phenomenal place, highly recommend 11/10. The price was well suitable. The quality of the product and view speaks for itself. I wish we would’ve had enough time to go again (I was out of town). Hopefully next time we make a trip back to VA.“
“Fantastic winery close to Middleburg, Virginia with a great selection of reds, whites, and sparkling, many of which are produced on the vineyard. The tasting room is extremely spacious with many “nooks” that different groups & parties could occupy without the room feeling cramped. The tasting room has large windows looking over the vast and beautiful vineyard. By pure serendipity, we were able to meet one of the owners & get a tour of the property. It was an awesome experience, and we’ll surely be back!“
“GREAT experience here. The wine tasting was so fun and personal, the meat and cheese board was delicious, and the ambience was wonderful. Big thanks to Alex for making our experience so perfect! Great prices, great wine, and great service- will definitely be back.“
“Based on our recent visits, Linden has corrected the issues that caused some of the bad reiews of the past. We are not club members and reserved a tasting in September 2023. My wife was not participating. The staff offered her a choice among several rooms in which to sit and asked if she preferred the windows open or closed, and then brought her a blanket and water to drink - they couldn't have been more accommodating. We were welcome to sit anywhere we liked after my tasting on each visit.The tasting staff were amazing, and were able to explain the winemaking process and vineyard management for each wine poured and were happy to answer questions. Owner Jim Law stopped at the bar a few times.And while I was finishing my tasting, two or three small groups appeared without the requisite reservations. Jim greeted them and said he could do a tasting for them at a separate bar. After my tasting, I joined them just to listen to what Jim had to say about his wines. I declined a pour saying "I just finished a tasting at the main bar." His reply was, "yes, but you didn't taste this one!" as he poured it for me. It was a sublime experience.As a result of the great first experience, I signed up for a special tour a couple weeks later on the day they were sorting the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the once-in-a-lifetime 2023 vintage. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable as she guided us through the vineyard and very busy production areas. Jim broke off his hard work a few times to give us samples of different wines in various stages and to add information. Meanwhile, the staff was keeping my wife comfortable in the winery.It is too bad these stars don't go to 11, because that would match our experiences at Linden.“

“Tried a flight of 5- highlights:Cab franc- bright red fruit consisting of cassis, raspberry, hint of jam, licorice, hint of violets. Velvet moderate tannins. Beautifully done. Resembles Loire CF but with new world characteristics.Tannat- darker fruits this time with blackberry, black cherry, ground chocolate, hint of baking spice. Med-high tannins with inky mouthfeel. Complex yet approachable.Red blend- take the above two and meet somewhere in the middle. Very good as well.Tried a couple of whites as well, both very good. Gruner veltiliner stood out.Hidden gem for sure“
