What to do and see in West Virginia, United States: The Best Wineries & Vineyards

January 8, 2022 Darwin Bolte

As you would expect, The Mountain State displays rustic charm with dramatic river gorges, large limestone caverns and spectacular mountain views. West Virginia hosts outdoor enthusiasts and family vacationers looking for fresh-air activities and serene mountain atmosphere. If stimulating city holidays are your preference, Charleston combines warm hospitality with a lovely riverside location. A family-friendly destination, you’ll discover children’s theatre, river park recreation and popular Bridge Road for shopping and dining. Smaller towns blend outdoor adventure with quaint village atmospheres. Set between the New, Greenbrier and Bluestone Rivers, Hinton is an historic rail town filled with turn-of-the-century architecture and a host of water activities at its doorstep – rafting, fishing, kayaking and more. In the heart of West Virginia, Summersville is a “Mountain Water Playground.” Its lakeside location encourages outdoor recreation from swimming and boating to scuba diving and rafting. And history buffs can trace Civil War battles throughout the states historic sites and state parks. Hiking or horseback riding along trails through deep hardwood forests is another family favorite, especially when you stop for a picnic along a clear mountain stream.

Reviewed By r0bertg222 - Silver Spring, United States

Great experience! Found wines for all of us. We found sweet and dry wines that were very good. Also for the wine hater in the group a white wine was acceptable, but the moonshine was found to be better. Would highly recommend. Staff was very friendly.

Daniel Vineyards

Reviewed By 97glennb - Pittsburgh, United States

My wife and were travelling from Pittsburgh to Raleigh, and in doing a little research, I found a place thatnot only looked interested, but fulfilled the important midpoint designation - Daniel Vineyards. Only a few miles/minutes from the highway - and down a winding road - a left turn into the driveway with a large vineyard paralleling the road. You pull up to the wine tour room - and we were immediately greeted by the hostess - who was equally kind as knowledgeable. Since I was driving, wifey had more fun - tasting a variety of reds and whites, dry to sweet - and a few dessert wines too. Okay - so I may have had a sip or two as well. Very nice stuff - complicated at times, but enjoyable through and through. While in the tasting room, you are surrounded by a beautiful facility - pavillions, gazebo, perhaps the largest deck I have ever seen - all landscaped to perfection. We ended up selecting a few souveniers of the visit - and eagerly await popping a top soon.

My reason for coming to Weston was for the Historic Insane Asylum tour, but it was closed on the one day I was in town. It turned out not to be a bad thing because I found this little hidden gem! I enjoyed some quiet time sipping wine over a fire built especially for me. I enjoyed a nice chat with the owner, who is truly an artist. This family run winery could easily complete with some of the best wineries I have visited in Europe. I plan on coming back and staying the weekend.
