Burnley Vineyards

Burnley Vineyards makes a lot of different wines, some of which are under the label Daniel Cellars.

The tasting room is quaint and simple, and you get the feeling that the winery really is a family-run operation. The staff is friendly, and really pays attention to you during your tasting. Basically, you feel as if they are glad to have you there, which is a really great feeling.

They offer fresh-baked bread for a small price, and it's definitely worth it. They literally pop it in the oven when you order it, and set a timer, so it meets the definition of fresh baked!

I liked almost all of their wines, but the one that I like the most is Aurora. It is not classified as a dessert wine, but it feels like one, with its intense chocolate aroma and chocolate and raspberry taste. Definitely different, and very good! Other good ones are Peach Fuzz, Rivanna Sunset, and Spicy Rivanna.

Observations:
~ Many wines to taste.
~ Friendly staff that you can tell are all family. :)
~ Nondescript tasting room--the focus is on the wine.

Travel:
Pretty easy to access. You'll be on country roads without lines for a little bit, and then on a short dirt road leading to the winery.
