Wineries Near Harrisonburg VA: Vineyards to Visit

There’s something about a glass of local wine on a warm afternoon that makes the drive worth it. The wineries near Harrisonburg are within a short drive of downtown, and each one has its own feel, from a log barn tasting room to a tasting room at the top of a hill.

I list only the places I could confirm, with addresses and the hours each one publishes. Hours change with the season and with events, so check before you go.

The Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail

The Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail lists member vineyards across the valley, with maps and hours. Many of the wineries below are members. It’s the easiest way to plan a day of tastings.

CrossKeys Vineyards

Address: 6011 E. Timber Ridge Road, Mount Crawford, VA 22841

Hours: The official site lists the tasting room as open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The visitor bureau lists winter hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from November through March, so call ahead in the cold months.

CrossKeys is a family-owned estate winery on Timber Ridge Road. The tasting room offers daily wine tastings, and open wine tastings stop 30 minutes before closing. Check the winery’s site for tours and events.

Bluestone Vineyard

Address: 4828 Spring Creek Road, Bridgewater, VA 22812

Marceline’s tasting room is a renovated log barn with indoor seating. Its hours are not published consistently across listings, so call ahead.

White Oak Lavender Farm & The Purple WOLF Vineyard

Address: 2644 Cross Keys Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22801

White Oak has been open to the public since 2008. Its visitor offerings include wine tasting, tours, classes, a discovery area and a lavender gift shop. The Purple WOLF tasting room is the wine side of the farm. Hours vary by source, so confirm before you go.

Planning Your Vineyard Day

Two or three stops in one afternoon is a good plan, and Cross Keys Road has two of these wineries, so you can pair them.

Designate a driver. The roads between wineries are scenic, but a designated driver or a ride service keeps the day relaxed.

Check for events. Many of these wineries host live music and tasting events, especially in spring and summer. A quick look at their websites before you go can help you time your visit.

Bring a cooler. Most wineries sell bottles to take home, and a cooler keeps them cool on the drive back.
