Reviews for Doukenie Winery in Hillsboro, VA
Just left. Colder than Santa?s nose. December 2020. Great fire pit experience. Good wine. Good time. Back again on Dec 26... 2021. Lee (manager) took good care of us. Read more
We had a great Birthday celebration at this winery. Lee, our server, made the experience extra special. He provided excellent,... friendly, and fun service. If you bring a kid, you get to sit in the Adirondack chairs by the water in the shade. Geese, ducks,and butterflies co-exist in a calming environment. It was picturesque and the wine, especially the Pinot Gris, was perfect for asummer day. Can\'t wait to return! We went on a Friday and it was not very busy, which was refreshing and felt super safe!

Bustling winery with nice firepits, but it\'s a bummer that kids and dogs are NOT allowed and can\'t bring your own food. While... the tables are socially distanced 6 feet apart and the servers wear masks, the winery was packed with an uppity vibe.\n\nGlad wemade an online reservation for the firepits as nearly every table was filled outside. There\'s plenty of indoor and outdoorseating (covered in a tent and around firepits). The firepits kept us warm and cozy while it was snowing!\n\nWine isn\'t sold bythe glass and only through tasting and bottle. The tastings are bit pricey at $12 and the bottles are over $20 and range between$25-$65. I wasn\'t a big fan of the off-dry white wines with less than 1% residual sugar and glad I went with the Hope\'s LegacyRaspberry Wine and worth the $24 price tag.\n\nThe Hope\'s Legacy Raspberry Wine is quite jammy and tastes like a port dessertwine with 70% Red Wine Blend and 30% Raspberry Juice. While it\'s on the sweeter side, it\'s not too sweet and pairs really wellwith jam, soft cheese, and chocolate.\n\nMy hubby and I ordered a feast! The jammy Fig spread is delicious and pairs well withthe Hope\'s Legacy Raspberry Wine along with the savory Rosemary Crostini crackers and garlicky Boursin Gournay herb cheese witha spicy kick.\n\nThe extensive finger food menu includes a variety of cheeses, crackers, meats, charcuterie boards, dips, ands\'mores kits! There aren\'t any hot meals. I believe all of the food is packaged (aside from the sandwiches) and none of it ismade on site.\n\nThe Conche S\'mores kit (you can make 4 s\'mores) was a hit! I had so much fun roasting the housemademarshmallows by the firepit. We ended up saving some to make at home (still have it!). Sweet way to end the evening!\n\nDoukenieWinery is a great spot for date night, but I enjoyed the more laid-back Hiddencroft Winery a mile away where my pup and daughterwere welcomed. Read more
Went to this winery after reading about it online. It was very beautiful and had a great ambience. After trying a few flights I... realized the wines were not of my taste but decent and similar to table wines at most places. The staff was beyond friendly andI will definitely come back for a relaxing day by the pond in the summer and give the wines another shot. Read more
Such a lovely afternoon. I felt like the world just slowed down a bit as we shared a couple of flights of wine with some olive... tampenade on the patio. Lovely musician playing nearby, really made the experience complete.\n\nWe will certainly be back soonwhen the leaves will be in full color! Read more
My wife and I went here recently and really enjoyed the experience. Diana was our wine tasting coordinator and proved to be... knowledgeable and very pleasant. We learned the background of how the winery came to be and about the quality of the wines. Theyhave been around for a while and have won numerous awards for their wines. There is a beautiful pond there with picnic tablesand chairs and tables around. A very idyllic setting.\n\nWe enjoyed the visit enough that we joined their wine club. The otherpatrons there were engaging and fun.\nIf you have the chance you should also try their bacclava. It was awesome.\n\nWe plan togo back often for their evening live entertainment and the rotation if different food trucks providing a variety of foods . Read more
Good selection of wines at reasonable prices compared to some other Nova wineries. A group of us split a bottle and ordered the... plate with a selection of meet and cheeses, sat outside, and enjoyed the scenery and live music. Despite it being Mother\'s Dayit was not over crowded. Read more
Horrible Horrible Horrible service. As a local would never recommend. I guess if you are not member they ignore you. We were... seated by a host by the pond. Two waitresses passed us 4 times in 20 minutes. Not even a hello. Do not care if the wine is good.Just plain rude and arrogant. Read more
