Yes, farm and production tours are part of what they offer, giving visitors a look at where the berries are grown and how the wines and meads are made. It's a great way to understand what makes their products distinct from typical Virginia wines.
Can I host a wedding at Hill Top Berry Farm in Nellysford?
The property's rural Blue Ridge Mountain setting makes it a popular choice for weddings and private celebrations. You'd want to reach out directly to discuss availability, capacity, and what's included in their event packages.
Is Hill Top Berry Farm part of the Nelson 151 trail?
Yes, it's part of the Nelson 151 corridor, which is one of Virginia's most celebrated wine and cider routes. Many visitors plan a full day trip that includes several stops along the trail.
Do they have a wine club membership?
Wine club memberships are available and typically include access to seasonal and limited releases. Members often get early access to new products and invitations to member-only events.
What should I expect from the fruit wines at Hill Top?
