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!

I love this place, bring the family, the dog, and enjoy great beer, wine & sangria. Bring a picnic lunch or order something from the brick oven pizzeria. Live music on weekends and always hopping! Just a great time every visit.

This was our first visit to Barrel Oak, and we will definitely be back! The Barrel Chardonnay was good, as were all the beers my husband tried in his beer flight. The wood-fired pizza and oysters they had for food vendors were both also delicious. Best part was the beautiful views and how dog-friendly they were! Plenty of room for our son and dog to roam around and play, plus they were even welcome inside in the tasting room!

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 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.

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).

I've been to a lot of winery's in Northern California and I was hands down impressed with this winery. Aside from the great wine and selections they also have beer for those non-wine-inclined. Throw in some pizza, various munchies and, during summer months, oysters, and you have a nice variety of things to try at this winery. Add in all the adorable dogs that paw through the place and it is now an amazing winery. They have a significant variety of activities for the family and lots of seating, indoor, outdoor and picnic space. I understand now why this place is packed often. Fortunately, I went during a holiday weekday time and got to enjoy the winery during a calm time. I recommend visiting the winery and trying any of their delicious selections.

Had a lot of fun here! They offer wine tastings, both an intro option with sweeter selections ($8) and an advanced option with bolder wines ($11.) they also have a beer tasting menu with a handful of options. Food options may vary but at the time of my visit we're comprised of Pizza, oysters and BBQ. Highly recommend the oysters which were tasty and a good deal at $20 a dozen. Came for the grape stomping event which was super interesting. But even on a non event day, this was among our favorite wineries in northern Virginia.
