I went to DelFosse for their French Crepe Day on 8/12/2012 and it was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. My girlfriend and I love crepes so concluding our trip to this part of Virginia with a meal at a vineyard seemed like a perfect idea; the grounds are beautiful and well landscaped. The food was good but, while they may have world-class wines, the service was world-class awful. We should have known something was up when they were too busy and disorganized to seat us while we waited patiently. We had to stop one of the many waitresses zooming in and out of the kitchen to ask whether it was self-seating as they were not paying us any attention while racing by. Eventually a waitress came to take our order … and then the real trouble began. After we request two savory crepes, a cheese plate, and a dessert plate, we are told that the food cannot come out in three different flights, only all at once. I look at her quizzically – strange but fine (getting dessert after an entrée isn’t a monumental feat at most eateries) – so we cancel our dessert order per her instructions. The food comes out cold 30 minutes later and way after people whose orders were taken after ours had gotten theirs. We asked her to check in on it after 20 minutes and she reassured us that it was just still being made. The savory crepes were good overall and so was the cheese plate (albeit I’m pretty sure I have bought all those cheeses from Trader Joe’s at some point). One negative on the cheese plate, the fruits (apples and grapes) were not washed. Or maybe they were washed and then dropped into some dirt. You would think someone would at least rinse them under water for a moment but alas no. We finished eating and then tried to [re-]order our dessert (since the waitress told us to reorder when we were done). It took about 20 minutes more to get anyone to pay attention to us. My girlfriend walked up to the counter to take a water pitcher to fill up our glasses because no one had come by for so long – multiple servers saw, including ours (they certainly paid attention to her doing their job), this happen but still didn’t check in with us. The best was when our waitress would make eye contact with me and then just walk away. Another ten minutes later, she was finally over to take our dessert crepe order. The lone crepe took another 30 minutes to come out. She again insisted at the 20-minute mark that it was still being made. When it came, she only brought one fork out for the two of us. Having lost patience, I walk up to the kitchen/bar where she is and she ignores me again. Having lost more patience, I ask someone who looks like a manager standing next to her if they have any utensils here, which finally prompts some degree of service. Utensils in hand, we commence on the dessert crepe. Honestly, there’s not much to say about it – it’s bland, runny, unremarkable, and decidedly subpar. The check comes out 20 minutes later (I asked for it the moment she brought the dessert crepe out) and I had a real dilemma on the ethics of leaving a negative tip, similar to how I wish I could leave negative stars on this review. I hope that my comment of “Great food, TERRIBLE SERVICE” and a zero tip indicates to the manager that they need to rethink this faux-blonde pixie haircut employee’s future as a server or really any customer interaction. After hearing of my trip to this region, many of my friends and coworkers are interested in visiting themselves. I make it emphatically clear that they should never visit this establishment and to pass the message along if retelling my account of what was otherwise a wonderful weekend.

We were there for Crepe Sunday, which happened to be on Valentines Day. I think they only have crepes twice a month, so check the website before you go. We made reservations online. The tasting room was gorgeous with all the tables set with linen tables cloths and the fireplace roaring. There were both savory and sweet crepe offerings. We had the Salmon crepe, the mixed vegetable crepe and for dessert, we split a banana nutella crepe! All the crepes came out to our table hot and freshly made. Several people nearby had ordered the fresh fruit and cheese plate. They looked delicious (the cheese plates, not the people haha). We were primarily there for the wine, of course, and enjoyed a bottle of the Cab Franc, which is our favorite DelFosse wine. We had a great experience.

DelFosse has the most beautiful, breathtaking views that are perfect for photos. If you are a blogger or Instagrammer, and love to take photos, just like I do.. you will fall in love with it here. You could spend hours exploring and looking at the gorgeous views! My mom and grandmother got to enjoy wonderful wine, they choose the full flight of wine tasting selection, which was 12 wines for $10. Their favorite was the Meritage, which is a Gold medal winner as well as Monticello Wine Cup winner. We signed up for their FREE wine club list, and this month they are offering the Meritage for $21.00 (Reg. $30) I purchased a bottle for both of them for Christmas! We will definitely be back!! Love it here.

I wish I had pictures! I forgot about it until we had nearly demolished our delicious crepes which came to the table with an incredible salad with a viognier vinagrette made from the wine produced at the vineyard. This vineyard is REALLY gorgeous even in the winter and the really sweet, nice staff was a lot of fun to be around. Wines, all good. We didnt do a tasting but we did try the recommended wine pairings with our crepes and at the end, a glass of their port style wine, Meditation, which was excellent.

The property surrounding DelFosse Vineyard is absolutely lovely. We did a tasting and we very much liked all the wines, even the sweeter ones, which is usually not our preference, but they were all interesting to try. Our server Kyle was very enjoyable to chat with about the various wines, and we ended up buying a bottle of the 2013 Petit Verdot, which won a place in the Virginia Govenors Case. It was fantastic. We sat outside on the patio to drink it and soaked in the incredible views.

My wife and I love driving up to the DelFosse vineyards to collect our wines and enjoy some fresh French crepes. We also enjoy live music during the summers. The wineyard tour was pleasant and very informative. It is such a scenic drive up to the vineyards and even prettier when you get to it. They even had a pig roast a couple of weeks ago. We come from the East so we also sometimes stop at Michie Tavern for a delicious traditional American meal.
