Beautiful views, as with much of the surrounding area, but the service was terrible (VERY small tastings). We had a bottle of the Blanc wine and it tasted horrible. Will NOT be going back to this place.
Very friendly and kind ... I wish I remembered the great guy that gave us our tasting, as he helped us move to a table with our food and the great lady how boxed up our thing ..... Thank u so much
AWESOME FOOD....THE "CRU" wine amazing....the view is beautiful!!!
Nice venue, but average wines. Brut sparkling wine is good.
Great on line ordering. Arrived quickly, no damage.
The Trump winery is a must visit when visiting Monticello. For the price of the tasting you get the glass and they really give you a tasting with some glasses being half filled. It was a very good thing I was the designated driver. I bought several bottles to try at home. It is a fairly large tasting room and the scenery was beautiful.
Great view, great tasting experience
I have to say that the wine and food were outstanding! To my surprise, the wine was really good! Views were incredible! Napa without the plane fair.The staff made us feel so welcome, they without a doubt exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to go back! I also have to say,kudos to Allison that is apart of the staff for making my son feel special. She noticed that he was being well behaved and brought him in the back for a can of sprite and some chocolate bars to take home! He hasn't stopped talking about it.
Very nice .you can eat there or bring in you own lunch. Great wine
The grounds were well kept. The staff was knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Didn't taste any wine though did purchase a bottle to open on a special occasion.
Came to enjoy some wine and the view for my wife's 40th. Turned away at the door for "at capacity." There was clearly plenty of room outside. And plenty of parking. We stated that we weren't there for a tasting and that we just wanted to buy a couple bottles of wine. I'm just writing this in the hope that the management reads this and can match the date with "guy" manning the door today. Please feel free to contact me. Unacceptable. No one needs this kind of drama after driving 45 minutes from Wintergreen. Oh by the way, Blenheim was fun!
I went here on a wine tasting trip with some alumni from my college. The whole experience was sub par. After seeing the gilded "Tump" sign in the front, I was expecting some wine to match that quality. It was even worse. In my opinion, the scenery doesn't make up for the terrible business practices. It felt like I was at the DMV with the waiter only doing things his way and not listening to outside suggestions. After being warned about earlier reviews, we asked that the waiter pour us a decent serving, but alas, it was even lower than the people next to us. I guess that's what happens when you try to voice your opinion. Not a worthwhile time.
Spectacular views and delicious food. Service was impeccable, synonomous of what you would expect at a Trump property. Can't wait to return!
Good servive. Good wines.
The food here is awful! Tastes like they season their food with salt and pepper only. Overpriced and the quality is not worth it.
We had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday here! The staff was friendly and accommodating! The location is beautiful! And the wines are good! We even got to taste test grapes with winemaker Jonathan.
The wine is "eh." The views are very pretty but there are beautiful views at almost every Charlottesville winery. The food also isn't as good as it used to be. The service was slow. Not a terrible place but near the bottom of my list, as wineries go in our area. Go to Blenheim instead.
Pretty cool place with interesting people. Bought a sweet Trump hat
Loved our visit - staff, facilities, wine, charcuterie are all premium
Enjoyed the wine tasting and views. Tom was very knowledgeable and provided great service!
Excellent service and the facility and view are the best around. For those interested in top notch winery experience, this is it.
While personally not a fan of the President's policies, I am going to give an unbiased review. The tasting room was beautiful and is actually located across the street from the winery. I ordered the standard flight ($12) that gives you 4 wines and the glass. Everything was good but my favorite was the sparkling. They did offer a special sparkling flight for $20. There are some epic views from the back. Staff was very friendly. All in all a very pleasant experience.
We have been there numerous of times and it is always great time. Harmony and peace around. Beautiful view on the field and pond, tasty food and snacks, great wine with family and good friends. It’s our family tradition now to go to this vineyard every time when we are visiting Virginia!
Food here is fantastic, the mushroom and goat cheese pizza is one of the best things I've ever eaten
The dessert wine was just amazing as it’s views!
Magnificent view, lovely grounds and great staff attending to each person there. We met Faraz and he was superb, chatting and explaining all about the winery and different wines made there.
Extremely polite & knowledgeable. Good wine - the Cru great! Excellent lunch!
Beautiful tasting room, magnificent view, delicious wine, awesome staff (Kristen and Anna Grace), generous pours, great experience. We loved the sparkling Rose, Reserve and Pinot Noir! Great Day!
Beautiful grounds and view. Wonderful wines
Absolutely the best service and food
Beautiful place! Wines are mostly dry though and expensive.
Way over-priced for the product. Management lacks empathy and attentiveness to customers. Will not be returning. Sad!
A great place to take a day trip to. It is absolutely beautiful!
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!!!! I cannot say enough how amazing our experience was here! Our sommelier tour guide, Clark, was fantastic! We felt welcome from the moment we walked in, and were able to enjoy stunning scenery, and absolutely amazing Wines, in a wonderful setting! The wines were delicious, the best that we tasted today despite visiting eight wineries, and the service was top-notch! Highly recommend for the wine enthusiast, you will not be disappointed!
I like to write reviews
Very pretty but they only have dry wines, that was the only downfall for me.
I ordered 3 bottles and love it, my friends all want to make a road trip to VA. Leaving tomorrow on our way home from Myrtle Beach. I can hardly wait.
Nice tasting room with friendly staff. It's small but quite nice. Well worth a stop.
Location is beautiful and I like there outdoors place. Tasting was ok, not bad but not great; the guy who made the tasting didn't talk much about the history of the wine, or how it's made or why it's so unique. There food is great! I love there bread and appetizers!
A bit better than night train but not much. Wouldn't reccomend to anybody.
When you think of Trump you think they place is going to be outrageous, but surprisingly it was very reasonable for a glass of wine. The view was great, also it isn't as stuffy as I thought it would be which was a pleasant surprise for us, (I thought it was going to be all snobbish, but it was just relaxed/classy) The wine selection is on the dryer side for the reds and whites you can blur the lines with a little champagny to sweeten the taste which is what I enjoyed. Overall, for the nostalgia, I would recommend.
I've ordered Trump Chardonnay. Everyone loves it at parties and for gifts. I'm ordering it again!!
My mom and I went on a girls trip visiting about a dozen or so wineries in the area. This winery would definitely be on the lower end if I lined them up by favorites. It's very small and way too fancy for a winery. The views are ok. The prices are very high. The food was not very tasty. Now as for the wine: disgusting! Some of the worst wine I have ever had. I kept the glass anyway just for a souvenier. I was expecting better.
Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Great staff and delicious wines. What else is there?
Wife and I loved this place. Very nice and helpful staff. Enjoy delicious wines and food with beautiful views of the vineyard and countryside.
Went here after being rudely treated at Ida Farm Winery and this was so pleasant and hospitality on display. Great option will be back. First choice when visiting Virginia!!
My husband and I stopped here on a whim after visiting Monticello. It was very busy! We had never done a wine tasting before and we were unsure how that worked. We worked our way in at the bar and a very nice lady took care of us. I loved the wine and was so happy we got to keep the glasses. We didn't order food but we saw what other people had ordered and it looked great. I would love to go back.
Love Trump Winery! Everything is first rate! Wines are amazing. We especially love their sparkling wines. Food offerings are very tasty. Service is perfect! Highly recommend this winery!
Great Winery love Donny
Amazing views, and great wine! The food is hit or miss. But I'm happy with what it has to offer.
Quality so bad couldn't even use it for cooking.
Visiting from NJ with friends in Virginia we took an afternoon at the Trump Winery. The tasting, lunch, landscape, and panaoramic views was absolutely amazing. Our take home wine was 2 bottles of CRU. Our party loved everything. Thank you for a wonderful visit..
I look forward to my wine club shipment every time!! DELICIOUS!!!!
French onion soup was fantastic. Friendly and helpful
The worst tasting experience we have ever had. The winery was busy at first but by the time we made it to the counter to taste the wines, everyone had cleared out. It took forever in between each wine and we had multiple people to explain each one. We almost got to the point where we were going to walk out. There was no reason for such poor service. We thought with such a well known name we would have had an exceptional wine tasting. We will not go back nor recommend. Blenheim winery was much better!
I ordered 6 bottles to try out Trump Red wines. After tasting this wine, I just ordered another 12 for delivery! We LOVE Trump Wine and the Trump Winery. I choose Trump Wines over any other. It's a lifestyle choice for us! It's living the Trump lifestyle which is exactly how I wish to live out my life! Trump Winery is a great place to start!
Friendly staff. Gena was informative and easy to talk to. The wine was excellent. Overall experience was excellent. Will make another trip in the future.
It does not matter how many times we make the drive, it is never a disappointment!! Great wine and good food.
Great place with a great view. The sparkling rose is on today's menu.
Very nice service. Say in a place with Brent blowing on us, asked about it, and they immediately shut it down. Love the cab. Sauv.
Trump Winery — the views were breathtaking. The back patio was spacious and backed up to a beautiful backdrop of mountain scenery and Adirondack chairs. We were there for a bachelorette and got a ton of great pictures — despite the rain. I would’ve loved to spend more time there and will definitely be back! The only downside: We weren’t allowed to have outside snacks in the tasting room.
Lovely and tasty. We order the wine by the case now.
Great staff, inexpensive wine tasting! In town for a wedding, and came to check this place out. Beautiful country. Wine tasting was good, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. For $12, get to sample 4 wines and keep the wine glass.
Really the only thing this place has going for it is the view which is fantastic. Other than that the food is average at best and the wine taste very generic and is way overpriced IMO. All you're really paying for is the name... "Trump". There are many other choices in the area that not so commercialized.
Literally the worst tasting experience ever. Not only is the wine simply awful, they were rude, ignorant, and impolite to my girlfriend (but couldn't stop staring at her). Unbelievably terrible place, believe me. Never again!
Gaudy decor and cheap tasting wine. Even if the decor was toned down and the wine was better, the rudeness of the staff and their lack of knowledge would still make this place not worth visiting. There are better venues with better wine in the area.
Beautiful outdoor seating area to sip delicious wine and eat amazing food. The rose' and the cru are especially good. I highly recommend the BLT and the burger is one of the best I've ever had. Definitely worth the drive!
Consistently good wines and good food.
Wine and service was fantastic...the view was amazing.
We really enjoy visiting this winery every time. The food is always great, Simple and delicious! Beautiful views don’t hurt either! Go Trump!!
The best view, wine, sparkling and wedding venues!!
The wine is crap. There are many other far better wineries in Virginia. And yes, by the way, far larger. As if that even means anything. Don't waste your time.
Reasons to go to Trump Winery: -Part of a scenic, historic estate; -Tented back patio overlooks fields that are home to bald eagles; -Mouthwatering cheeseboard; -American flag flying proudly on site; -Decent sparkling wine; -Luxurious, individual bathroom stalls; -A Riedel souvenir tasting glass. Reasons not to go to Trump Winery: -Boring, impersonal tasting hostess; -Side tasting room is cramped; -Most wines were not memorable; -Price points on wines were +$30; -Armed security standing at the entrance.
Used to love this place until we tasted with James. James was rude as can be, we miss Cullen. James poured 5 microscopic tastings for $12 per person. Couldn't even taste the wine. 1/3 of an ounce. He was visibly upset we asked to try one that wasn't on the sheet that he gave to people beside us. He also denied our friends the industry discount, saying it didn't exist like it has for years. So much for bringing our friends there again.
All in all a decent place. Wine is ok and on the lighter side. Tasting was good and service pleasant. Did it blow my mind? Not really. Was it a fun outing? yes.
It was outstanding. Good service, great wine and food was provided promptly and as ordered. I would recommend this to all who enjoy wine.
Great staff!
Alot of employees, but service was ok . Rosa ordered an no ice bucket. Had to ask for one.
Delicious wine and food! Great service as well!! There are several negative reviews here, which are totally off base! It’s one of the best wineries I’ve been to, and I’m from Napa!
Showed up with a large group and were perfectly willing to split up to fit accommodations. We were asked to leave the premises before even getting inside. Not even an offer to accommodate us.
A breathtaking vineyard and winery! Excellent wines and a well designed property.
Beautiful, great wine, great location.
Although it's name is wrapped up in politics at the moment, I think it's the best winery of the area. Very nice & not pricey. Scenic area, wine & lunch for two at under $50. It has the best red I've ever tried so fad.
Definitely worth the visit. Beautiful place with a great view and amazing staff! We will definitely be back again soon and will be ordering wine and apparel off their website! Enjoy!
Wonderful atmosphere and gorgeous views.
Lovely place, good wine and food and relaxing.
Just left there this afternoon and had the most amazing experience. The staff and the atmosphere was incredible. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Will be back soon from PA.
Grounds are immaculate and the whites better than I thought Virginia could produce.
Place was great and employees curteous.
Nice people and good wine!!
Excellent wines and food! Beautiful vistas!!
Great, most of the bad reviews are politically motivated...ignore them.
Nice atmosphere, beautiful view and tasty wines. We bought three of the four we tasted. Nice gift store for momentos too!
Went on my sister's birthday. I asked if they do anything special for birthdays n r server said she was never asked anything like that before. Two hours later I had not found out anything about making a birthday special n we were leaving. I spoke to a supervisor who said she would speak to someone tomorrow about it. Thanks so much. Not helpful
Even though it was several days of rain it was awesome. I always love coming here...its one of my top 5 wineries.
Was here several months ago. We all enjoyed the wine and the gorgeous views. Ignore all the cranky anti-Trump reviews, this place was a great stop among others within the area.
The trump vineyard is has some of the best views of all the vineyards visited thusfar. The wine selection is good, but I admit, not as robust as some of the other local vineyards. The food is excellent on the other hand. Highly recommend the rosemary ham sandwich.
Wine tasted like vinegar. Food was mediocre at best. No thanks.
We visit Trump Winery every Fall and it's Absolutely Exquisite! The food as well is Fantastic. We are now Club members and enjoy these Fabulous wines at home and delivered right to our front door...;)
We had an awesome experience The wine was excellent And we spent almost $400 purchasing wine , membership and lunch. However the service was disappointing at the end. We were told that our case of wine would be carried to our car because I have a bad back we finished our lunch and asked to have help bringing the wine to our car. The gentleman behind the bar took it to the front step and dropped it and went back inside. Your security guard came to our rescue and carried it to the car for us. Our sales server Lisa was fantastic and Did a great job of up selling This is our second trip each time we come north we are stopping and we love the winery and your wines. This one experience just left us with a bad taste and killed the whole exciting experience for us. We came off our regular route of route Us 95 to visit the TRUMP winery and were very disappointed
I believe most of the negative reviews have an ulterior motive! Great tasting , excellent appetizers , beautiful scenery . Personable staff,relaxing environment , highly recommend!
Mediocre at best. Not a great representation of good Virginian wine
An incredibly beautiful winery. All of the employees were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The wines were excellent and reasonably priced. The Sparkling Blanc de Blanc and CRU are unbelievable. Unlike some of the negative reviews that I suspect are more politically motivated, I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable trip. A must for anyone that appreciates admiring beautiful views and sipping wine.
The view looking out over the vineyards while eating lunch outside the tasting room is so beautiful and relaxing.
Literally the most uncomfortable and the most “not at home” feeling I’ve ever felt at any winery EVER! At best it was pretentious.
Beautiful scenery Good food and of course good wine
Excellent customer service! My wife and I are members of the Trump Wine Club and have been to the winery numerous times. It is always an awesome experience with excellent customer service. The wine is very good. My wife's favorite is the Blanc d Noir and I prefer the New World Reserve.
Great place to visit!! Great wine selection and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Also, the flatbreads are amazing!! I have been to many different winery and Trump winery is in my top 3. I highly recommend this place.
The food, the wine, the views and the service were all wonderful!
Very nice people there. Extremely knowledgeable, I brought 5 cases home. Great conversation when you bring out a bottle of Trump wine when guest arrive. Not to mention They love their owners.
What a view! The wines are delicious and cant get enough of them. The people there were very pleasant. It just felt like a small town winery, very personable, and warm feeling.
Great wine, beautiful property.
Great wine and an even better view. Also a very humble building, nothing too extra.
Good service, great wine and food. Unrealistically expensive.
I had a fun experience! Nice selection and friendly staff. Delicious cheese plate and bread. Will absolutely visit again when I'm in the area.
$17.99 for the whole 6 wines. So its very expensive to taste. The wine quality itself is OK to good. Nothing fantastic. The wine tasting room seating area is very good. Also has a nice outdoor seating area.
Wine tasting menu is mediocre. Our sole purpose for coming here was wine tasting and I am highly disappointed. Yuck.
Yesterday was my last trip to the winery for several reasons and will cancel my membership. 1. Wine tasting is $$$ 2. They no longer have complimentry wine tasting for wine club members but, they do offer a 25% discount on tastings. 3. They no longer offer wine club pick up, they will mail your selections to you for an added $$$. 4. Tasting room hours are 10 am - 4 pm. They told us, it was the industry norm. 10 am REALLY!! I guess it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Most of the wineries have tasting hours 11 - 5/530.
Great tasting and affordable wines. A nice little gift area and the chocolate bars were delicious. Not to mention the spectacular view from the Adirondack chairs.
Beautiful vineyard 84
I was at the winery today to have bridal pictures taken as we are a month away from wedding date. As I approached front door of tasting room I was told that this was not allowed. I had called mid-August to check on this. I was told that it would be fine, no charge, and what areas photos could be taken. Well after scheduling the photographer and taking the time off , this was a moment that needed to happen since our timing is a month away and a treasured moment for my daughter. After hesitation the GM says I'll give you thirty minutes...really who can do all of that in thirty minutes and since you didnt allow this . After a big let down and my daughter being crushed, she calls Blenheim just up the road and they welcomed us whole heartedly. Great public relations and much more than I can say for Trump winery.
great experience.
Absolutely the most beautiful view in Charlottesville. Very dog friendly and the staff is super nice!
Awesome place can't wait to go back!
Great place to visit and chill
Absolutely beautiful grounds and facilities. We opted for a wine tasting, the wines (9) were very good. It was busy, but I was hoping for a little more information on each bottle. We were at the outside bar because we had a dog with us. I think the inside tastings were a little more educational. We didn't order from the menu but the sandwiches and cheese trays looked delicious. A lot of people had brought their own picnic baskets and coolers. If you go, plan on at least a couple of hours to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
For all those five star reviews, there's always just a couple of "winers", who obviously never actually visited the Winery. We visited today, 3 May 2019, and the service and wines were great. Had five tastings, Cru wine was 110%. Wow. Worth the trip, just down the road between Albemerle and Jefferson wineries.
We had a great time here. The grounds are unmatched in beauty and landscape. The ambience is elegant. The white wine, red wine, and the champagne is above the rest.
Beautiful and perfect in every way!
Great atmosphere! Turkey sandwich was to die for. Highly recommend.
Visited the first week of August 2017. The region is beautiful and worth the time to explore. However, the Trump Winery is an experience that should be passed on. Diligently and enthusiastically we tried to find a wine to buy that didn't taste bitter or upset our stomachs, sadly, we walked away without a single bottle. It was that bad. Our group also tried eating, but after receiving the food, each of us smiled at each other, paid the overpriced bill and went down the road for a good meal. Summary: Horrible wine, the food is sub-standard and everything is over-priced and over-hyped. The location is fantastic, but the establishment left a very bad taste that lingers for a long time.
I can't understand those of you who said you had a bad experience. We had an awesome time!!! The staff was very friendly and we had a terrific lunch. We left with a case of wine and will definitely return for more.
It had a good, friendly staff and and a nice crowd. Very family friendly and peaceful, probably one of the most beautiful vineyard in America. Great crab cakes too.
Carriage rides yearly ate great. Wine is fabulous and staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Live Trump winery!!!!
Lovely place for tastings and lunch.
Another place to enjoy Trump wine is at Trump Turnberry in Scotland. First Class service, food, accommodations, golf and, of course the wine. Nice to help out the VA economy while visiting Scotland. We loved it!! : )
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Trump winery. The staff was very personable and knowledgeable. The wine was exceptional. I really liked being able to taste just a few exceptional wines rather than be innundated with many sub-par bottles before tasting one decent wine! The pours were generous and we were not rushed. Highly recommend Trump winery. Fantastic wine
The 'Brand' isn't worth the price! Wine was acceptable, Staff was great, views were nice but this area is full excellent wineries w/great views. Priced up compared to region.
Outstanding wines. Beautiful place. Was our 2nd visit and there will be a 3rd.
Great food and wine. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The view off the back patio is gorgeous.
I came here with my girlfriends and the view, food and wine were spectacular. The staff was so helpful. Worth every penny. The patio is a great place to enjoy their cafe style eatery and enjoy the wine. We were fans of the Rosé...
Wow! Delicious wine. Making livers great again! The new world red was delectable :-)
Great wine, great place, great staff!
Good wine, food was really good. There could have been a little more staff.
Good atmosphere, friendly service. Perfect indoor / outdoor areas. Only thing that holds this back is the cost of the tasting - more than double the neighboring wineries with approximately similar quality / quantity.
Absolutely beautiful building, grounds and views. The wines I tried were excellent and reasonably-priced when I purchased a couple bottles. The staff was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. I was made to feel very conformable asking some simple questions that John took time, without arrogance, to answer fully. I'll be back again, with more friends and maybe to meet some new ones!
Absolutely enjoyed the experience!! Can't wait to go back and do it again. Staff was friendly and I found a new wine that I love
We popped in today and just had an amazing experience! Clark attended to us and we certainly were made to feel like we were his only customers. The wines were easy to drink and the menu was fantastic! We would come back!
I was quite disappointed. The service was more or less o.k, not the level that I am used to. The champagne is not more than three stars out of five. The Chardonnay less than average unfortunately.
Gorgeous location. Very picturesque. The tastings were reasonably priced. A great place to bring a picnic and sip bubbly!
Meh, it's all about the name. Wine is not all that great. Will say the setting is nice and great view of mountains. Psst... Dave Mathews winery is just down road. Much better quality wine and great view as well. :)
Great addition to your stay next door at Trump' s Albemarle Estate. Terrif environment, great staff and good product. Lively atmosphere. Usually a line at the door when they open.
Excellent wines! Friendly and knowledgable staff. The tasting room is beautifu and very clean.
Best Vineyard in Central Virginia. Especially love the Cru, fortified wine! Don't believe the fake reviews here from people that have never been to the winery. The wine are the same as the previous owner but the prices have been reduced by 30%. If Kluge's wines were great at $35 a bottle they must be better at $25. Also the views and the food here are the best out of every vineyard in the area with only Pippin Hill being in the same league.
Wow, the Trump Wynery is simply fantasstic! A fabulus place! A sooper expeereeence and they made me feel soooo welcome! I will be coming back reel soon to expearieance the tasteing and buy up an other kase or 2 of Trump wynes! I encoorage everone reeding this to make a a bealine for Charlotesvile and buy another kase of Trump wyanes!
Beautiful place with excellent wine and an attentive staff! Doggie station is a nice touch!
I feel everyone thinks you have to go here if you lean a certain political view. False (Dwight Schrute Voice). It’s just a beautiful view with some pretty good wines. Go and enjoy.
