Cooper Vineyards - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Perfect. Loved the outdoor space that slopes down giving you a great view of the vineyard. Staff was knowledgeable and fun. And I have great respect for the LEEDS certified building with solar panels.

Went for the first time this weekend to commemorate my partner’s mom’s passing as this was a favorite spot of her. After the first sip of my tasting, I can see why. The bar is lovely, has a low counter for a wheelchair user which was awesome as my partner is disabled. He was using his arm crutches, and Marie, our wine specialist was kind enough to ask if he wanted a stool to sit on. Marie was wonderful in general, with so much knowledge about the wines we chose paired with interesting personal anecdotes. Stacy also helped us and was wonderful as well. Highly recommend the Albariño Norte, Rhapsody, and the Quintessential Rosé. Thank you Marie, Stacy, and everyone at 53rd for helping us celebrate Jackie’s life.

Had so much fun wine tasting! The place was super nice and love that you got to choose which wines you wanted to taste out of a whole list. Very beautiful as well!

We stopped by the vineyard, and it just happened to be their 25th anniversary celebration. They had a good band on the patio.. The wine flights were very good. They also were given twenty five percent off of winebakThey also were given 25% off of wine if you bought three bottles. It was a good day at the 52rd.

We love going to 53rd. Their wine is fantastic, and the people are lovely. They are inclusive and make everyone feel welcome.

Highly recommend, hidden gem, worth the drive! This winery has a great variety of reds, whites, rose, and dessert wines! Affordable flights and wines. Beautiful atmosphere, modern style tasting room with beautiful deck area, cheese and cheese/meat options! Marie and Erin were wonderful and great help during our visit! I will definitely be back!

Friendly staff. Tasty wines. Lots of space to hang out and relax

The Best Winery in Central Virginia

Great ambiance and caring warm hostess. We had a wonderful time.

Loved this place, dog friendly, beautiful building and scenery

What a wonderful winery. The wine was fabulous. The facility is beautiful inside and outside. The real jewel was Toni. Very experienced with your wine and warm and engaging. Will definitely go back.

Excellent all the way around... love and miss it.

The absolute best winery!! Staff is always welcoming!

This was an impromptu visit as we were looking for a winery on our drive north. This was a pleasant experience and the wines were delicious. We left with three bottles. The view is wonderful and the staff are very friendly. I would recommend for wine lovers and those just looking for a few minutes away from the rat race.

We had a bridal shower planned on the 9th and had to change the date the 22nd. The winery was so accommodating and extremely helpful on the day of. Their team helped to setup and clean up. They were very hospitable and I love their wine. Just a beautiful venue overall.

So glad we found this magnificent winery nestled out near Louisa! Clean facilities, friendly & very knowledgeable staff! We enjoyed the wine selection and had a great time! Give this wonderful winery a try, you won't regret it ❤

The staff is wonderful and if you like sweet wines, this is your go to place!

Wine, atmosphere, and the owners/employees were all great!

Such a great place! Peaceful atmosphere, delicious wine & wonderful staff. Toni is knowledgeable & thoughtful. If you’re considering it definitely go. Buying some bottles to take home. Thank you 53rd!!

Amazing small winery. Beautifully decorated and wonderful view from the tasting room. The wines are done well with nothing overly complex but also very well balanced. The whites shine through for me and the reds are young but have potential. The staff is amazing thank you Sheila. We will be back. The wine club prices are very reasonable considering the level of wine you are getting. This is a must try if you haven't been here before

Great atmosphere- and great wine! Enjoyed tasting several great wines, as Toni provided us with great insights on the right wines! Highly recommended!

Beautiful tasting room, plenty of seating, both inside and outside, and a wide variety of wines. Very quiet on a Wednesday afternoon for a family-friendly visit.

Friendly service, good variety of wines with great tasting options, very nice indoor and outdoor seating areas.

The wine dinner and wine pairing was one of the best we've ever experienced! Just wish they were closer to home! It was excellent!

A lovely and fun place! We attended a delightful late afternoon music event. Music and wine both excellent. Conveniently, they had a food truck there selling decent pizza.

0f the 4-stop mini wine tour friends and I did, this one is a true wine tour experience. We enjoyed the wine and the atmosphere so definitely recommend.

Very nice people and beautiful service. Love the wines

Wonderful atmosphere not much sweet wine.

Stopped by for a flight and the place, wine and people were great! Nice little trip from Richmond to enjoy some wonderful fresh air. Can't wait to go back!

Stopped here on the way to Charlottesville for flights. I love that you are able to choose 4 wines of your own preference. I only like dry and my friend only likes sweet so it worked out perfect. It was sprinkling and a tad windy so we sat inside. Both inside and outside areas were very nice and the staff were very personable.

Very nice, accommodating staff.Allowed white wine only tasting for my wife Is great outdoor setting for lunch we brought with us During tasting

My husband and I stopped at this winery on our way back from visiting family. Just let them know at this winery if you prefer dry, semi dry, semi sweet, or sweet and they have a flight of wines for you to try. We fell in love with the choices they recommended and paired them with tasty cheeses and crackers. Went home with great tasting bottles of wine that were truly to our taste. Would recommend this place to anyone!

This is a must go to for many reasons, so many that I might miss a few. Top notch knowledgeable-friendly staff that are always on point and not there to rush you out of the door like cattle. Large tasting bars to accommodate quite a few people trying out their 18+ wines for a $10 tasting fee if you aren't a member (reds, whites, a port style and sweets all great). Plenty of space to relax inside and out, new seating areas currently being created. Purchasable snacks. Clean bathrooms. Lots of parking. Great scenery and wine makers!! Definitely visit the "53rd winery of VA".

I have been coming here since I first moved to Virginia. I drive two hours from Norfolk at least once a month just to visit this Winery. Great wines, excellent service, and their wine club is fantastic with the discounts!!

Amazing quality wine and staff! Everyone really cares about the product and the process. Always such a pleasure visiting 53rd - and I will be back many many times!

We ended up here on a whim, but we are so glad we did! Friendly service, amazing atmosphere, and great wine. Will be coming back!

Fifty Third Winery on set in a lovely area far from any main roads or businesses. A really nice feature is all the picnic tables set up to enjoy a glass of wine and the view of the vineyard. At this time they were serving flight tasting only. Out of the four wine flight, we both liked the Chardonel best.

Love this vineyard! Love their reds! I like that we could choose what type of flight we wanted - red or white (not all VA vineyards do that) .The staff is super friendly. Love sitting out on the deck overlooking the vineyard. Plan to go back.

We are members - at least 3 years by now. Went on Saturday, Feb. 8, to pick up our allocation. We were treated quite royally by Regina so this is a shout out to her as well as to the consistenly great wines and lovely atmosphere of the tasting room. Thank you, Regina, for making our visit so great. And for finding me all the Noche I could afford...

Excellent wine selection, but our favorite was D'Angelo. What a weath of knowledgeable and personality. We will be back. Beautiful outdoor setting.

Delightful place.for a relaxing afternoon with friends. The wine is superb.

Amazing hospitality from the staff at Fifty-Third. We live just a few minutes away, so this has become a weekly afternoon picnic spot. We always feel so welcome & our children just love playing in all of the green, open space on site. Live music on the weekends is a bonus. Quite a few wines to choose from, and although I haven’t tried them all, I’ve found 5-6 “favorites” that I gravitate towards.

Always a great experience to come and sit on the deck or at a picnic table and have a glass of wine! The staff very friendly and accommodating!

Wonderful tasting experience! All about the Voigner/Chardonnay blend!

Cooper/53rd winery is always a good time! Really good wine, something for everyone. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable! Special call out to Domenic for today’s tasting; we made 4 new friends today because of his capability to handle multiple tastings. We love learning the history behind the wineries we visit, so we don’t enjoy ‘run-of-the-mill’ wineries so much. So whether you are new to the winery scene or an expert, you will have a good time and a great tasting!

This place has my heart and soul - not only is the wine absolutely outstanding, but the staff are like family. My sister lives out in Louisa county and I drive the hour from Richmond literally JUST to come here! The days they have live music are always a pleasure and this winery is probably my favorite place to go in VA so far. My advice, GET THE CAB FRANC! :)

Like any local winery they have their great wines and awesome wines. A must go to for a tasting or afternoon out!

Had fun there. Sampled and bought Virginia wines for gifts.

Love the atmosphere. It's a great place to gather with friends. Good variety of wines. Reds, whites, sweet, there's something for everyone!

We always enjoy Cooper/53rd Vineyard. Great selection of wonderful wines. The tasting is very generous, the tasting room is comfortable, and the deck is relaxing.

Stumbled across this Vineyard on a girls outing from Charlottesville to Richmond. We had such a great time and cant say enough about D'Angelo. He made our experience that much more memorable. Also I should note Im generally a fan of white wines, and really liked all of them- even buying a bottle of white! Would definitely go back.

Lovely Winery, nice assortment friendly staff and great scenery.

Solid dry whites. Well worth the trip!

Nice, but small venue. With live music, its too loud. Good wine!

Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Clean, wide open area with a beautiful view of open fields and a neat pond. Nice deck to sit on while relaxing. Nice tasting room. Great staff.

Great selection, almost all delicious. Ask for John.

Absolutely LOVE cooper/fifty third vineyards!! It is my favorite winery ever so far! I like every single one of their wines and the people working there are very informed, always kind and courteous. I definitely plan to volunteer there in the near future and get paid in wine :D . If you love their wines and plan on visiting more than once join their wine club! You get a free wine tasting or glass of wine anytime you go and 20% off purchases as well as a quarterly case of three select wines at a wonderful price (between $55-$80 I believe). You can bring your own food with you and eat out on their lovely covered deck or you can purchase some cheese and crackers from them. It’s a great place and you’ll have a great time here as well! Worth a try for sure.

Great wines and a beautiful place to relax !!

Lovely location. The view from the patio is goegeous. Really enjoyed the tasting, which included most of their whites and reds for a decent price.

Went to this vineyard to celebrate my sister’s birthday. The wine selection and customer service were amazing. Stacy helped us during our tasting and went above and beyond to make sure our time spent here was exceptional. We both would recommend this vineyard to anyone & everyone. Great experience. Thank you to Stacy and the entire staff at Fifty-Third/Cooper’s Vineyard!

Cooper Vineyards soon to be known as 53rd Winery and Vineyards has very good wines and a great tasting room with a nice view of the vineyard. They have a tasting of “whites and reds”, and a tasting of “sweet and desserts”. They have nine white wines and a Rose on the white list, and three reds. They have two sweet wines; the Sweet Louisa is made from Concord and Norton. Every time I try Concord based wines I think of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but this had a much more balanced flavor. They had four desert/specialty wines including Exodus, a port style wine, and Noche, a chocolate infused wine. The Noche is a signature wine from Cooper Vineyards. Their Norton wine was going on sale in 3 days; finished in American Oak their version is rumored to be fantastic.

My family had a wonderful afternoon at Cooper Vineyards. The wine was great & the staff were wonderful.

Great place, friendly staff, awesome value!!!

Unquestionably the best winery I have ever visited! Very welcoming atmosphere and staff and the wines were excellent! D'Angelo absolutely rocks! He was very knowledgeable and personable. We spent over an hour there laughing and talking with him...a most enjoyable afternoon! Thank you!

Love the stone wall!! You get a lot of tasting samples for the price!! Excellent desert wine, and a large variety.. very relaxing to set out on covered deck overlooking the vineyard..friendly staff and enjoy the entertainment!!

Some of the best wines in the area. We love this place.

Great wine and nice place for wine tasting

Very beautiful place inside and out. Wonderful wine! We did not do the additional sweet wine tasting, but the regular tasting had many included (more than most wineries). Dogs are allowed on the patio, which features its own tasting bar. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cheese, charcuterie, and fruit plates looked wonderful (we did not actually stay and try any, as we were winery hopping). There was live music on a Saturday and a familial atmosphere, even with a large crowd. The only complaint I have is that parking got a little scarce, but there may have been more further away. One of the best wineries I have been to.

This is one of the best wineries I've been too. I'm not a big red fan and I liked a lot of the reds and the most of the whites.

Wonderful wine, loved them all! Which is saying something considering I don't usually like dry white wines. There are so many wines included on the tasting, much more than most of the wineries we visited, very reasonable. Giovanna is an amazing server, very knowledgeable and friendly, no pressure at all. Beautiful facility and grounds. Overall incredible experience!

As always, excellent wines and service. A very cool place to come and relax, meet new people and enjoy the scenery.

Friendly staff and delicious wine. I even like their wine after I bring it home!

Cool place! We did a tasting, which included 17 wines! They have lots of whites, but we were disappointed that they only had 3 reds. They do have some amazing sweet and dessert wines. Great atmosphere, but very crowded on a Saturday afternoon.

Loved it, as always. Members here....can't go wrong!!!😍

My first time here was very pleasant and the wine is great. Servers were very polite and friendly. Will come again.

Stumbled upon this quaint spot on our way through the area. Lovely place with very friendly staff, snacks available for purchase. Knowledgeable and personable! Had a great time and left with a bottle for ourselves.

We went on a Monday. So not very busy. For $10 we got to try about 18 wines. They had whites, red, and dessert wines. I liked all of them. Very unusual for me. D'Angelo was our pourer. He was great. Very knowledgeable. Beautiful tasting room.

Beautiful modern vineyard. It's a bit confusing though because Cooper was recently purchased. The new name is '53rd Winery & Vineyard.' We were a bit disappointed because their website states they grow Albarino - one of our favorites. However, it will not be available for a few years. They had live music which was really nice. They only allow picnics outside. Evidently it had been permitted inside but no longer. We liked several of the wines but only purchased 1 bottle. We were frequently ignored and had lagging wait times of 10 minutes or more between tastings. Also the female wine steward was annoyed when I politely asked if they participated in the Virginia Wine Pass. I would not have had to bother her with such an innocuous question if their wifi worked (which it did not in the 1.5 hrs we spent there). It was busy but I did not observe any other party at the bar being rudely treated except for us. She did become a bit friendlier towards the end of our stay. This was after the parties who had received excellent service had left. If we ever do return we will try to do a tasting with another wine steward.

Nice place to taste wine and and enjoy yourself.

Great location and selection. The steward took plenty of time describing each wine on the extensive list. It makes the much more fun when you have that background and connection.

First time here and it's great. Very laid back and a super nice

Beautiful dog friendly tasting room! Fantastic staff!

As a big fan of Virginia wines, I say that Cooper has the best wines of any winery I have visited in VA. Every single wine on their tasting list was legitimately great with a few amazing ones! They are super dog and family friendly and it was a wonderful place to spend a beautiful day. I almost joined the wine club, but it is just a little too far for us to get there regularly, unfortunately. Cooper will be a planned stop anytime we are in central VA! Major props to the winemaker and owners!!

Beautiful place! Great selection, and professional staff.

It's a comfortable atmosphere and beautiful view.

Great place that has fantastic wines

Good wines, relaxing atmosphere. I stop here often to pick up. Noche ans sweet louisa are great dessert choices; chardonel is interesting, also. Well worth the trip!

Had a great time here. Good wine and great conversation with the owner. Very nice grounds and worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great service and personnel . I am coming back of course . I recommend the Vida wine , great . Thanks for a job well done.

Such a great place to visit, the lady who served us was the best and so nice! each wine was exquisite! definitely worth the $10 per tasting. The noche was absolutely divine and I definitely recommend purchasing a bottle to take home. we will definitely be returning.

Amazing tasting room, and the wines always delight! Beautiful view of the vines from the tasting room, and a great space to chill, listen to music, and enjoy new and old friends!

We haven't visited Cooper vineyards in 4 years and since then they built a new wine tasting building. The new building is very impressive and nice and has an outdoor patio that is good for local musical talent to bring their music in. Our two small dogs (Yorkies) were welcome with open arms. The tasting was a good experience. We were given okay pours. Some of us felt that the tasters were not as good at giving us individual attention as it could have been. This may have been because it was a very busy place with lots of people coming in to experience the great wines. We truly enjoyed the experience. We got to know the local musical talent. And we also got to talk to local people who were also having a good time experiencing the wine tasting. I most definitely recommend Cooper Vineyards as an experience for you to try on the Virginia wine tasting trail.

Beautiful tasting room and a great selection of wines!

Really nice and relaxing I was in the area and decided to stop by and get a bottle of wine for a future birthday gift. I was with my dog. So I got to this place deep into the Louisa County countryside. Very nice, peaceful, family and dog friendly. I walked my dog through the property (plenty of open space) and then put him in the car to go wine-tasting. The tasting room is big, nice, clean and elegant. $10 per tasting event, totally worth it. It is my understanding they have snacks for sale here, not so much food. The wines were really tasty and eventually I bought a bottle. You can pack a lunch and have a last minute picnic as they have several tables or just on the grass. They also have live music on weekends, nothing too loud, just appropriate for the mood. Overall, I loved it. I went back to the car to get my lunch... but the dog ate it :(

One day last summer, I decided to take a detour back from Charlottesville to check out Cooper Vineyards. I enjoyed a delicious tasting with John. Before I left that day, I became a Wine Club Member. As a Member, I receive quarterly collections of 3 bottles each for a modest price ($40-$60/collection). Even though Cooper will ship offerings, I pick up my collections. That way, I can enjoy the < 45-minute trip to Cooper Vineyards from Richmond. PLUS, as a Member, every time you visit Cooper, you get two free wine tastings! The first time I picked up a collection, I took my husband. He loved Cooper's beautiful tasting room, the live music on Sundays, the bucolic setting and of course, the wine! Last Sunday, I took my dear friend, Shaunn. She's a convert! Next time, I'm bringing a picnic and walking shoes. Thank you, Cooper Vineyards, for offering me a terrific incentive to take a break from my hectic life at least 4 times a year!

I went with my girlfriends yesterday as apart of the Heart of Virginia Wine Trail. This ended up being our third winery stop and we all agreed it was by far the best! The tasting center is very modern and well-decorated. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly! I'm not a sweet wine drinker but Cooper's sweet wines such as Noche, Vida, and Rhapsody are delicious! My absolute favorite was the Noche! My only wish is that the bottle was bigger. It's only 375ml for about $20. However, I've never tasted anything like it so it's worth the price. I highly recommend trying their wines or actually visiting the vineyard!

Very good reds. Good whites. And a few sweet wines also. Prices well also. $5 for tasting. Most wines are around $20 for very good wines
