As the Founding Family of American Wine, there are few places that can boast the depth of American wine history that Philip Carter Winery reflects. The family carries an historic legacy as producers of the first internationally recognized fine wines in America on October 20, 1762. Located in Hume, Virginia, Philip Carter Winery is seated on 27 acres of rolling hills in the heart of America's Wine Country.
“We visited the winery for the first time today and had a wonderful experience with the wine tasting and picnic package. Joann, who attended to us, was knowledgeable, passionate and extremely personable with us. She guided us through several different options once she learned what we liked and the Gov Fauquier ended up being our favorite. While we enjoyed the variety she poured us, sometimes the experience is magnified by the people that work there. We will back and hope to run into Joann again.”
“We celebrated our Anniversary getaway at this wonderful place, the staff was so kind and very professional, we had a talk with some of the members and they were to kind to share there experiences throughout the years of dedication. This is one place where you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself with the views the atmosphere and let's not forget the wine 😉 we are already planning our next visit 😀 Jeremy the manager is amazing he went above and beyond to show us a great time, our tour guide Helena did a very good job explaining the history and the greatness of the Winery 🍷once she was done she took us to our wine tasting 😀 The rest of our tour was super AMAZING. Thanks again”
“Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! We arrived a few minutes after the start of our tour and the winery was still super hospitable and had waited for us to start! Jan was our tour and tasting guide and she was so personable, knowledgeable, and most of all— kind!! Jan made our day with how friendly and interesting she was. We learned so much about the history of wine in Virginia and were thoroughly entertained the entire time. The wines were delicious, very reasonably priced, and unique. We will definitely be back.”
“We took the wine & picnic tour. We had the best time. Jan was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, intelligent, and very fun. They have a nice gift shop, all very affordable. Very clean and inviting. The entire staff was helpful and heart-warming. There are so many wine options, but the staff will gladly help you choose based on your liking. We were able to purchase glasses of wine before the tour. The tour does take you outside, so I advise appropriate attire. The tour is interesting and insightful. We ended inside for our tasting. We were able to taste many wines (Which individually were described upon our sheets.) We laughed and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Would recommend to anyone and hope to return. *We were also given complimentary glasses to take home. They also bagged our picnic leftovers. Just great service. Thank you!”
“Lovely family owned and operated historic winery. I probably dived in deeper into the operations than most patrons, but highly recommend. I love to see ‘mom & pop’ places succeed. I’m not saying every years crop is perfect, but like every vineyard, they do the best with what they’re given. I’d love to see unique hybrid grape strains! If PC Winery is interested, I know a person. 😉”
