Seriously one of THE best VA vineyards.
The views are spectacular, the wine is tasty (still a bit pricey for locally produced VA wine) but the staff are the best.
When you visit Breaux you'll notice that the layout of the customer centric area is beautifully designed. There are strategically placed trees providing shade, gazebos with tables and many staff keeping the area clean and proper.
I'm never disappointed whenever I visit Breaux and love the drive to this majestic vineyard with hundreds of acres. They grow their own grapes and they make all of their own wine. I find it hard to visit any other VA vineyard when this place has everything I'm looking for.
If you're a dog lover or have a furry companion (no, not your hairy husband or wife), you can bring along your favorite doggy friend. The staff does an amazing job at keeping the ground clean and I've never come across any doggy "surprises" despite all the hairy visitors. Plus, our two monkeys love seeing and playing with all the friendly dogs which often entertains them allowing Mommy and Daddy a few minutes of peace as we enjoy our tasty vino.
So if you do visit Breaux, here are a few hints:
1) Bring your own food; cheese, fruits or nuts but DO buy the freshly baked bread from Breaux. Makes for an even better experience.
2) Arrive early, find a nice spot to setup your blanket in a cool shady area.
3) Do do (Ha! I said doo doo) the wine tasting to sample and get an idea of which Breaux wine you'll enjoy.
4) Grab a bottle of Breaux wine and enjoy yourself and the wonderful view.
5) Relax, take a deep breath and just enjoy yourself, the wine and the company of your loved ones or friends. :-)
I'd give them 5-stars if the prices of their VA produced wine was a bit lower. Just seems a bit high to charge anything over $10 for wine produced in this state when I can go to my local Trader Joe's and pick up a great bottle of French wine for under $7. But I don't hold it against them as I still love visiting Breaux Vineyards and will visit them whenever possible.
