The best winery in Fauquier County The owners are amazing, everyone that works there is so friendly and loves what they are doing - it's like a true breath of fresh air every time I'm there. Thank you BOW for everything you do!

If you are looking for a chill winery, then this is the place. Great ambience and it's kid and pet friendly. You can bring your own snack, however, they also have great pizza. Now to the important part, the wine. The wine is excellent! Both the whites and reds. They have two tasting selections depending on your preference of wines. The also serve beer, however, I can't comment about it as I don't drink beer. Today they also had sangria (perfect as it was a very hot day) and it was so good and refreshing. Another nice thing about this winery is that they always have events going on. Today there was live music and they were also serving raw and charbroiled oysters, which were absolutely tasty. And lastly, they had a pop up dessert shop selling macaroons and pastries. Of course I had a chocolate eclair. I highly recommend this winery!

This is such a cool place!! A beautiful location with beautiful views, they offer their own wines and beers. They have comprehensive wine tasting flights for $11 with 6 wines plus goodies not on the menu (I enjoyed a tiny cup of mulled wine on a chilly day recently). They are dog friendly, sell gourmet pizzas on site, have a loft room with amazing views and ample seating, two outdoor patios with live music during good weather on weekends. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient and the wines are very good! I've not tried the beer. If you have the Virginia Wine Pass, they offer discounts on flights. Definitely a fun place to stop and have a flight or glass of wine while enjoying mountain views. They have picnic seating outside as well, and like many Virginia wineries, you can purchase a bottle of their wine and enjoy any food you've brought (no outside wine- state law).

OMG! Sooo many puppies!!!! It was so awesome. I had not idea Barrel Oak was so dog-friendly when I went. It was such an awesome surprise to see all the adorable dogs at the winery. We didn't take our pup with us, but we did buy him some doggy ice cream and took it home for him. The wine was fun to taste. I didn't take anything home with us. However, my wife and dad really enjoyed the brick oven pizza they sell outside.

I wish this was a bit closer to home, but it's worth the 25 minute drive is worth it. I love that this is a dog-centric place both in theme and atmosphere. It's a nice cavernous place with a warm ambiance, and it's clear they have a lot of regulars given the number of people dressed for a jog stopping in with their furry friends. Both tasting menus are good and I'm partial to the sweet BOW side, and the price points are similar to other wineries. There's a taste for every palate on the wine side, but I didn't get to taste the beer so I'll definitely be back to try that selection out as well. I'll update then, but if you like good wine and a cozy experience you have to try!

This spot offers beer and wine, which is great for those who want different options. Large indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Often have Groupons. Have tried a number of their wines and all have been solid. The food is also reasonably priced.

We experienced the Return to Barrel Oak this past Saturday, June 6. What an incredible experience-we loved every minute. From the moment that we turned into the driveway where we were directed on where to go until it was time to leave we were treated so incredibly well. Our server was Carmen who was excellent!  We love Barrel Oak and we are members of the Barrel Grand Cru club which we have enjoyed.  But the return to Barrel Oak was really special.  Thank you, this was an wonderful way to be able to come back to one of our most favorite places!

Beautiful views, pet friendly, fantastic wine, great food. Pet lovers and family are very welcome here. Worth the hour drive and will be taking a bottle of wine home with us and returning again.
