Find Yourself at The Williamsburg Winery

Set amongst the splendor of historic lands nestled on a tributary of the James River, The Williamsburg Winery is more than a World Class winery;  it is a destination. Each year, throughout the year, over 50,000 vistors come find themselves in our tranquil settings.

 

We offer vistors and guests our instructional Tour and Tasting, and the more comprehensive Reserve Wine Tasting conducted in our reserve cellar. Lunches and dinners are available daily (please check our schedules) at the two restaurants on property. The charm and romance of Western Europe's country inns are captured in exacting detail in the extraordinary accommodations at our luxury hotel, Wedmore Place. All right here at The Williamsburg Winery.
