We had a lovely time at Upper Shirley Vineyards. It had been a while since we had been there, and once we got there, wondered why we had waited so long to go back. Everything was perfect. We met friends for lunch and wine flights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We won’t wait so long to return next time.

Our party of 6 people went to Upper Shirley Vineyards on a Saturday for lunch. We made a reservation. Upon arrival, the hostess asked if we wanted to sit outside which we did. From their terrace, we were able to have a lovely view of the James River. Several of us had wine flights which were generous and all wines were delicious. We ended up buying two bottles. We had the charcuterie board, the truffle fries, the smashburger and the flatbread. All were fantastic and large portions. Our server was EXCELLENT. She was knowledgeable and helpful. This was just an A plus plus experience. highly recommend.

Upper Shirley Valley is beautiful. My only negative is there is no way to add some “padding” on the window so help take away some of the people noise.

We enjoyed our lunch very much. The charcuterie tray was amazing and I liked my salad very much. My friends didn’t feel like dessert so, we missed out on what looked like delicious endings to any meal (based on what others at nearby tables ordered.) next time, we’re ordering dessert! Matt, our server took wonderful care of us. Lovely setting. Will definitely be back especially on a night when they offer outdoor music.

Eating good food while looking at the James River is wonderful! The lobster roll was so flavorful. And I love the truffle fries!

We had a party of 8 and ate outside. The weather was beautiful. There was live music towards the end of our luncheon. Food was great, service was great, view of the water was great. One of our favorite places to meet friends.

This is a great venue and the food is wonderful. We love spending the afternoon here 😊However, they’ve chnaged what was a great Cobb Salad, to a Southwest Cobb Salad, that can’t possibly be as good. The old salad was wonderful!
