Nicewonder Vineyards Tasting Room - Bristol, Virginia

Heather

We were on the hunt for a wine bar on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and stumbled upon Nicewonder Vineyards’ Tasting Room — and we are so glad we took the chance! What started as a spontaneous stop quickly became a standout experience, thanks to the warm welcome and outstanding service from Joyce and Chef Tyler.

Joyce was an absolute delight — knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our visit memorable. Chef Tyler brought an unexpected and wonderful energy to the table. His table-side presence and passion for enhancing our tasting experience added such a personal and elevated touch. He’s a fantastic addition to the Nicewonder brand and made each bite feel intentional and special — from the house-made pickles (so good!) and salmon bites, to the flavorful beef crostini and the super grazeable pretzel charcuterie. The entire tasting felt curated with care and creativity. We ended our visit on a high note with the apple butter bread pudding — rich, luxurious, and absolutely unforgettable.

We especially loved the KDN Reserve (a gorgeous red) and the crisp, elegant Blanc de Blanc — both were exceptional and perfectly showcased the quality of the vineyard.

We’re already planning our return visit to explore the main dining room — and maybe even a weekend stay to soak in more of what this beautiful property has to offer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an elevated and welcoming wine experience.

Absolutely beautiful location and views. Don't be scared off by the gate. It opens automatically. The wine and food were wonderful. Even on a rainy day, the atmosphere was amazing. Great service too!

This place is nothing short of a slice of heaven. Stunning views, warm friendly staff, limited but delicious charcuterie options, and very good wines & wine slushees. I coulda stayed the whole day enjoying their wines and staring at the beautiful property.

We were first time visitors and had no expectations. we drove in through the property and were blown away at the beautiful property and its layout. We sampled the wines and were pleasantly surprised at their great tastes and selection. We also shared a pizza and Charcuterie board to have while sipping on their delicious wines and it was very good. when we got there we were greeted by Christy who explained how Nicewonder started and the interesting history of the place and its founder. She was absolutely terrific and explained the different wines we tasted in our tasting. We were extremely glad we stopped by and look forward to coming back. Thanks very much Christy for providing us with a great experience!

Wonderful experience with our kids. Gorgeous views overlooking the vineyards in the distance and the beautiful mountains. Very kid friendly because cornhole boards were out and there was a nice grassy hillside so the kids were able to run around and play.

The wines were good with generous tasting pours, we really liked the Chardonnay and the KDN reserve and the Merlot. We did all 8 wines and they were nice enough to let us try the peach wine slushee as our 9th wine. The slushees are delicious!

We didn’t try the food but saw several other patrons eating it and it all looked really well done.

The gate is a little confusing because the detection point is super close to the gate to trigger it, would be nice if it was further out as I can see that confusing folks.
