    We always go to Upper Shirley winery the day before Thanksgiving. The people are always friendly and very accommodating and the food is always good. On a nice day it's great to sit on the huge porch out back or on the lawn.

    Was disappointed in the Mushroom appetizer. For the price we were expecting more tasty toppings, but it was to runny. For $15 expected more than just small medium size 🍄.

    Visited USV for Sunday brunch with friends. Service (by Hanna) was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, the food was excellent, well-prepared, and plentiful! The "Shareables" are abundant, and quite substantial. Two orders was more than enough for 3. The charcuterie board was evenly divided between savory, thin sliced meats and cheeses; the warm crab dip is lucious and tasty. The wine is very refined and pairs nicely with the selections. No matter the time of year, a walk around the property and to the river is always a treat! USV is well managed, incredibly well maintained, and casual, but elegant.

    We enjoy the drive along route 5 to get to Upper Shirley Vineyards and once there we enjoy sipping wine on the porch overlooking the James River. We have had the charcuterie board on one visit and we opted for the Shirley Stack sandwich this time around. Both were delicious. We paired them with the Viognier both times and enjoyed the view, the meal, and sipping our wine.
    Upper Shirley VineyardsResponded on 12 November 2024
    Hi, Ronald! What a lovely way to spend the day - a scenic drive and relaxing with some wine. Thank you for making us a part of this experience - we're happy to be able to provide the lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and wine for sipping. We look forward to our next opportunity to serve you!
