Chateau MerrillAnne LLC - Orange, Virginia

Fantastic wines and very friendly people. We were lured in by a cute social media post, and we’re very glad we came. Where they deviate from traditional winemaking methods, it’s because of the peculiarities of Virginia’s terroir and climate. The tasting menu skews toward reds, so if you’re a white/sweet drinker, their offerings may not be your first choice. Even if that’s the case, I recommend a visit.

Excellent wines and cheeses. We bought 7 bottles. My favorite was the Green and Royal. I have never had a red like this before at any other winery. It is smooth to start but with a bold and dry finish.

The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. The signs on the way in are humorous. This place is definitely worth the trip.

Everything a winery should be! Their tastings are what tastings used to be where they explain each wine and give you crackers and the glass to keep for only $12. The owner was so kind and sweet and we had such a great and relaxing time. Their wines are very good and affordable. Definitely worth going to if you are in the area.

If you are adventurous enough to make it down the long gravel driveway through beautiful central Virginia farmland, you will not be disappointed! We were the only guests there and Kenny treated us with such warm hospitality. We did a full wine tasting and chocolate pairing. Each wine was excellent and I learned so much about wine that day. We bought several bottles to take home, as well as a block of perhaps the best cheddar cheese I have ever tasted, shipped in from an Amish farm in PA. Our only disappointment was that the resident cat was off duty that afternoon, but he was fully commemorated through bottle labels and portraits! Highly recommend visiting Chateau MerrillAnne - a perfect afternoon detour from Lake Anna.

Quirky fun place with good wine. If you like cats, you're in luck. If you like wine, you're also in luck. Very easy going place, not like other snooty wineries.

This was such a wonderful experience…my husband and I are touring (we live in Western NC) throughout Virginia…. And visiting some of the local wineries… this was our 2nd one today and we have had such an enjoyable time here as well!
Incredible wine, such a hostile host and hostess… very accommodations and patient husband host here!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience..

WHAT A PERFECT HIDDEN GEM. ✨

Fantastic wine & friendly staff. Flights, tastings, slushies, cheeses, visitor food trucks, and occasionally have the Tiki Bar open. The Red wines - 1734 and Green & Royal are my favorite. Located in Orange County, in the country, but truly worth the drive! Relaxing setting, indoor & outdoor seating available, and they have a puzzle table which is a great way to build & meet others. 🐈‍⬛

Definitely the best tasting I have ever had in terms of quality of the wine, price, and the knowledge/experience provided by the staff. They had plenty of seating for our large group inside or outside (with or without shade). Can not recommend this place enough! I ended up taking 4 bottles of wine home 😅 We will definitely be back.
