Reviews & Testimonials
"Amy was so great. Laughed, tasted wine, and left with 20 bottles of wine. So much fun."
"Lots of amazing wines to try here. We got a Late Harvest Rkatsiteli, which is made of grapes grown in Virginia but the plants are imported from Georgia (the country) - that's quite cool since that's where the oldest wines in the world were discovered."
"Always an enjoyable time!"
"If you like sweet or fruity wine this is a great spot!"
"I was here earlier this month for one of their special events. Lots of people, so successful. First visit, they did a great job on the event. Good parking, spectacular grounds. The wines, the best part, really smooth."
"Great service… Teresa is great!"
"Mark Squires for Robert Parker reviewed Suil and the results are note worthy.

"This is very well done, edgy and sharp on the finish. It emphasizes freshness and steel more than toast. Showing good concentration and a refreshing demeanor, this crisp Viognier is focused and precise. It probably wasn't on the lees long enough to be very complex, but it's not simple either. It was more interesting and still very vibrant the next day. This is a cut above." - Mark Squire February 28, 2020."

"I went years ago and tasted the cranberry wine. It was incredible but there were no more bottles to purchase. I just found the cranberry wine at my local Kroger and I was ecstatic! I brought some to enjoy with friends and they also loved it. Getting more for Christmas presents :-)"
"This vineyard had grown since the last time we stopped by, nearly five years ago. We had a pleasant time trying a selection of Horton's 40(ish) wines. A wine tasting includes choosing 10 out of their lineup. We arrived in mid-afternoon and were the only ones there for a while. Just as we were leaving two smaller groups headed in. Horton's wines are solid. There is something to try for nearly any taste."
"We loved our experience here! We showed up 10 minutes before closing, because we are from out of town and really wanted to visit the vineyards, but the staff cannot have been more welcoming! The wines were very good, and the setting was absolutely picturesque. We were able to taste 10 of the wines, each, and we even went home with a bottle of a delicious red. They also have amazing chocolate! Make sure you try them! They had a food truck out front that would have been perfect if it wasn't closing time!"
"Great selection of wine and price is very good too."
"he woman who ran our tasting was fantastic, but I didn't catch her name! She did an excellent job of working through our tastes to find wines we enjoyed! Will definitely be back to try more!"
"I did a wine tasting with Amy. She was great...very professional, very knowledgeable. The wine was good; we took home 4 bottles. And since it wasn't too busy, Amy gave us a tour. It was the best tasting we did in Virginia."
"Beautiful place filled with beautiful people and great wine."
"I am in love with their wine! The inside of the building is not as pretty as the outside so I recommend bringing a picnic basket and enjoy the views from their outdoor picnic tables. Dog friendly!"
"If you like wine, this is the place for you. Wonderful staff and terrific wine! Awesome whites and red alike!"
"Oh my gosh I had the best time!!! The people are super friendly & down to earth. They answer any & all questions you may have. The event my husband & I went to was the Chocolate & Wine Tasting. It was FABULOUS!! The wines were matched with specially made chocolates. This event is held every February. This was their 3rd year having it. We did more wine tasting downstairs. You get to choose 10 different wines for $6.50 per person! They are very knowledgeable about their wines & such pleasant people. Can't wait to do it next year!"
"My husband and I have done two tasting at the winery and attended numerous wine festivals and we are always looking for Horton. Twice a year we do a road trip to the winery to replenish our stock. The best wine, by far, is the Sweet Concord and we never leave the winery or any festivals without at least a case. We are also big fans of the Mango and the Niagara and we also get a least a case of each of those. I really wish they would bring back the Acai as it was right up there with the Sweet Concord. Love, love, love Horton!"
"Absolutely incredible selection of wines. Awesome staff. Our favorite winery by far."
"Pig roast and wine, Great times and memories. First Saturday after the 4th. Come join use next year."
"As soon as you drive up to the place it has the old world charm. Unless you are unfamiliar with the grapes grown in Virginia, give them a grape that you are fond of and they will let you know what will fit your palate. Personally I enjoy Cabernet Franc and this is the climate for this grape. I would recommend this out of the way venue to everyone who enjoys grapes with a bit of history as does the commonwealth of Virginia."
