Wineries near Markham

“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.“

“I am not a wine lover, but my boyfriend is. We took an impromptu trip to this winery yesterday and let me tell you, as soon as I walked in the door it felt like home. The owner greeted us at the door and asked what kind of wines or alcohol in general we normally go for. He then walked us over to the bar and had me, since I'm the picky one, try a few before selecting what I want to sip on! I actually found one that I enjoyed, a first! A total win! The views are beautiful and the place itself is a work of art! Highly recommend! ❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“What a beautiful winery with stunning views. The wine is amazing as we spent a day there with family. The staff is gracious and helpful. They went over and above to assist us after hours to locate a lost and found item. Thanks for making our birthday celebration a wonders experience.“

“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“

“We had a lovely (if chilly) February visit to Rappahannock cellars. There is a large outdoor seating area with fire pits, which was nice until the sun disappeared behind the mountain. (Dogs are only allowed outside, which was why we were braving the patio in February). We had a glass of the rose, which had nice strawberry notes while being very crisp, dry, and refreshing. It paired well with the sausage and pepper pizza we got from the food tent. The tasting room was pretty busy for late on a Sunday afternoon but the staff were very nice and knowledgeable. I also got to taste the Fizzy Lizzy (sparkling rose), meritage, and Eighteen, but the rose was my favorite. My husband and I go to VA wineries about once a month and I rarely give five star reviews, but this was one of the better wines we've tasted in a while. (I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, but am rounding up because the wines were definitely better than the competition). Our running joke is that VA wine only tastes good at the winery, but this was one wine that I actually enjoyed more once I was home (but maybe that was because I could feel my fingers)!“

“New winery with definite promise. We were able to speak with the new owner/wine maker and he has a lot of vision for this winery which was a hobby for a couple from DC. Renovations will be taking place and I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements. Right now, parking is not marked and it's very confusing to know where you go for a tasting. There was a huge flight of stairs so I'm hoping renovations include handicap accessibility. The wines were all very good. We tasted two whites and 4 reds, all were dry and very good, the reds were young but good. If you want ambiance wait until the renovations, if you want good wine go now. It's worth a visit.“

“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.“

“Came here for the first time today for an Australian Shepherd meet up, and had a blast! Super dog friendly and a huge outside space and stream for dogs to play in.Staff were very friendly & the cider was fantastic! Will definitely be back!“
