Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery

We decided on a last minute trip to Albemarle Estate and Trump Winery after our flight to Denver was cancelled due to the Microsoft update glitch. Our experience here was perfect! Thomas checked us in and gave a nice tour. He was very friendly, prompt with our requests and quite knowledgeable. We stayed in “Taylor” by the pool house Tuesday through Friday. They were not crowded during our stay so we pretty much had the pool to ourselves! Kelly was our server for breakfast and was super kind. We also met the Larry, the maintenance man, who was on his way out for the day, but spoke with us for about an hour, which was lovely. The winery was also great. We will definitely go back!

This is a beautiful winery with excellent service to the public by every member of the staff.. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We had the tasting flights and were able to easily share them and test everything. We ate lunch and enjoyed the food. The view is stunning and worth seeing. So, come on in!

Couldn’t recommend enough. Worth the price. Staff incredibly kind and detailed. Grounds and rooms in elite condition. Food, wine, and ambiance pristine and elegant. Can’t wait to come back! A job very well done by the team! Hope people can put aside politics when necessary and enjoy this true treasure and estate. A deeply special place. We will be back! Pictures do not do it justice.

The estate is beautiful. The winery is fantastic and food at the winery is great. However, when paying over $650 per night I am expecting over the top and that wasn’t the case with Ablemarle. We started in one of the cottages which was very nice. There was a power outage and the cottages are not on generator. They moved us to the pool house. You cannot control the heat in the pool house. You have to call the front desk. We had to have the heat adjusted several times. In the middle of taking a shower the water pressure dropped to almost nothing and the water turned cold. When I reported this, I was asked what time I took the shower because they did have someone working on the water but not during the time I took my shower. Unlike the spacious bathroom in the cottage, the bathroom was tiny. I’m fairly sure the bathroom is not to code. You could not open the door all the way because the toilet was in the way. The food in the restaurant was ok. Nothing spectacular and fairly expensive (surf and turf special was $90). As a comparison we had a three course meal at Harrimans in Middleburg for $99. The breakfast eating area was very sunny and tables situated so that one person had to get sun in their eyes. Evidently the curtains were sent to be cleaned and weren’t back yet. We enjoyed a movie which was nice but $30 per person seems a little excessive. The movies are played using Apple TV. The staff was great. But the overall value just wasn’t there for me.

Booked three night stay @$765 per nite back in January as a returning patron. Three weeks prior to arrival management made a significant change and does not include a hot breakfast with stays. This is now a pricey a la carte option. Included is a makeshift continental style breakfast that prison riots are started from. It consisted of mainly spoiled milk, stale pasties and bread. It was disgusting and disgraceful that this represented the iconic Trump brand. I expressed displeasure immediately at time of check in and again the next day with staff. All fell on deaf ears until last day when Libby offered to comp breakfast and apologized profusely for the sub par offerings. By that time we had already dined on the continental choice so we politely declined. Management take note: This won’t be acceptable to patrons like us who expect a certain standard from Trump hotels. We won’t be back until management makes the necessary changes. On the positive side, room and staff were all Top notch!

Another wonderful stay at this quiet, luxurious gem. The experience here is wonderful from start to finish with a staff that is clearly well trained and very thoughtful. Our daughter goes to UVA and this is clearly the go to destination for visitors to the area.

The best escape for solitude in Virginia! The accomodations are beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. The breakfast was divine! The tour of the home was very informative. The wine pavilion at the entrance was delicious.

Very beautiful property. The staff treated you like it was your own personal property. Very accommodating to all our requests.

We recently enjoyed another great stay at Albemarle Estate. The building and grounds are extremely nice and well maintained. We arrived early and our room was ready........it wasn't expected but was appreciated. There is a very nice pool area that's rarely crowded and very quiet public spaces in the Estate. The on site restaurant is excellent. Breakfast is included and the stuffed french toast is the best we've every had. We had one dinner, which was also excellent. The staff are always great and work hard to please. We will be back!
