This country side is beautiful, wonderful day out for the family. Will never understand the Kluge family with its resources, in letting this property slip through thier fingers. The wine tasting was great. It would be more of a days event if you could tour the property, watch wine making and experience more of a day in the life of... More

If you are interested in buying wine that you have tasted, don't waste your time here. Tastings are limited to "flights" of their choice not yours. More

I must admit, that being a local, I was skeptical of what would become of the former Kluge Winery, after Mr. Trump purchased it. It is still hard to tell what the wines will be, as Trump has not owned it long enough to produce any wines, so all the wine we tasted, was produced under Kluge. The tasting room... More

We were hesitant to go in, as neither my husband or I are big Trump fans, but we drove right by, so why not? It's very beautiful and the grounds are immaculate. We had heard how pricey the tastings are, but you can choose how many you'd like to try and we each chose two, as this was our third... More

I read all the reviews and was hesitant to go but decided to stop in and check it out. I am no Trump fan but I enjoyed my time here. First the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The setting is very nice and relaxed. It is the first time I have encounter wine being served in what appears to... More

My friend and I stopped by Trump Winery as the last wine tasting of the day. We were skeptical that Mr. Trump knew much about wines, and were pleasantly surprised. There are several different tastings to choose from, and I picked a flight of one white, one rose, and one red. All were very good! The most interesting part is... More

There isn't a great selection of wine and it isn't a prime location. There are many more wineries in the area that are much better. While the service was great, it doesn't have the same feel as the many other wineries. If you do go- definitely get the Croix. Its like a dessert wine, served on nice and with an... More

Visiting trump winery for the first time since the change was very disappointing. The staff is very cold and the wine is very pricy and I personally think it's cheesy the way they serve you the wine in the tubes. Looks like a science fair project. My husband and I were married in a beautiful winery in crozet which had... More

The six different options for tastings were a little pricey. My friend and I compensated by each getting a different option, and sharing our samples. I was disappointed that I was not able to keep the crystal glass from my tasting, and to buy just one was $12. The wines were reasonable, and some were good, some not so good.... More
