Welcome to SIP, our tasting room conveniently located in Afton, Virginia, just one mile from the 151/250 intersection.

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!

Come out and try one of our Tasting Flights — the Classic Flight, our Harvest Flight, or a Red Wine Flight — or our wines by the bottle or glass. This year we have introduced several new varietals: our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, 2019 Chardonnay, 2019 Mountain Glen, and 2019 Trillium.

And in honor of harvest and cooler weather, Sangria and Mulled Wine are back!

Take in the views of the Blue Ridge on the Patio, or enjoy the shade of the tent or our Grove seating areas. Fire pits are available by reservation on chilly days. Call for more information.

Our Virginia winery is happy to accommodate parties of all sizes; however, bus tours and parties of 5 or more people must make a reservation. Please call 540-456-6350 to make your reservation.

POLICIES:

Outside food and beverage

You are welcome to bring your own picnics and non-alcoholic refreshments.

However, only Valley Road Vineyards wines, which have been purchased on premises, are permitted and may be consumed while on our property. We ask that you respect Virginia law and our licensing with the Commonwealth.

Larger Groups

Bus tours and groups must arrive before 2 pm. Reservations are required in advance for all groups and groups may not exceed 20 persons. We regret that due to current COVID restrictions, we will NOT be able to seat any group arriving with more than 20 persons. While every attempt will be made to seat your group together, please understand that circumstances sometimes necessitate that we may need to seat you at adjacent tables.

If your group has not made an advance reservation, we may need to ask you to visit another day or we may serve your party in two or more smaller groups to ensure a great visitor experience for you and all of our guests.
