Several winneries were onsite in Wintergreen for the wine festival. Trump was probably the most disappointing in my estimation of those there. Did not like any of the wines. If this is what is to come, then don't bother. I would hope that the wines produced will be turned around in the next few years. Very disappointed. Barbara from Northern... More

We visited this winery out of curiosity because it is owned by a Trump. The setting is beautiful, but the atmosphere is quite different compared to most other VA wineries. We received absolutely NO information about the wines we were tasting; the staff just asked us to choose from three different tastings without really explaining ANYTHING about the wines in... More

This country side is beautiful, wonderful day out for the family. Will never understand the Kluge family with its resources, in letting this property slip through thier fingers. The wine tasting was great. It would be more of a days event if you could tour the property, watch wine making and experience more of a day in the life of... More

If you are interested in buying wine that you have tasted, don't waste your time here. Tastings are limited to "flights" of their choice not yours.

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2012

I must admit, that being a local, I was skeptical of what would become of the former Kluge Winery, after Mr. Trump purchased it. It is still hard to tell what the wines will be, as Trump has not owned it long enough to produce any wines, so all the wine we tasted, was produced under Kluge. The tasting room... More

We were hesitant to go in, as neither my husband or I are big Trump fans, but we drove right by, so why not? It's very beautiful and the grounds are immaculate. We had heard how pricey the tastings are, but you can choose how many you'd like to try and we each chose two, as this was our third... More

I read all the reviews and was hesitant to go but decided to stop in and check it out. I am no Trump fan but I enjoyed my time here. First the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The setting is very nice and relaxed. It is the first time I have encounter wine being served in what appears to... More

My friend and I stopped by Trump Winery as the last wine tasting of the day. We were skeptical that Mr. Trump knew much about wines, and were pleasantly surprised. There are several different tastings to choose from, and I picked a flight of one white, one rose, and one red. All were very good! The most interesting part is... More

There isn't a great selection of wine and it isn't a prime location. There are many more wineries in the area that are much better. While the service was great, it doesn't have the same feel as the many other wineries. If you do go- definitely get the Croix. Its like a dessert wine, served on nice and with an... More
