Welcome to SIP, our tasting room conveniently located in Afton, Virginia, just one mile from the 151/250 intersection. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will guide you through our Virginia wine tasting, while you enjoy SIP’s intimate atmosphere.
Be sure to check our Calendar, since some of the area’s most popular Food Trucks come by on Saturdays. In addition, we are happy to once again be able to feature some of our favorite musicians to offer safe, socially distant entertainment on weekends!
This past Spring, we released many of our latest varietals… 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, 2018 Chardonnay, 2019 Mountain Glen, and 2019 Rosé. Come out and try one of our Tasting Flights — the Classic Flight, our Summer Flight, or a Red Wine Flight — and try the latest offerings.
Also, Frosés and Mountain Freezes are back, as is Sangria! A perfect accompaniment to warm weather. Other seasonal specials include Mulled Wine in the winter.
Take in the views of the Blue Ridge on the patio, enjoying the shade of the tent during the warm months or the fire pit in the cooler months.
Our Virginia winery is happy to accommodate parties of all sizes; however, bus tours and parties of 6 or more people should make arrangements with us in advance of a visit. Please call 540-456-6350 for details or to make a reservation.
