Barrel Oak Winery & Brewery: Delaplane's Dual Taproom
Estate wines and seven-barrel craft beer under one roof in the Middleburg AVA, plus a vineyard cottage for the night
Barrel Oak Winery & Brewery, at 3623 Grove Lane in Delaplane, pours both wine and craft beer from the same vineyard-view taproom in Fauquier County. Estate wines include a Meritage, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and a Chocolate Lab port-style bottling, while the seven-barrel brewing system turns out a Wise Oak IPA, Best Cellar Lager, and Chocolate Lab Porter as year-round anchors alongside rotating sours and seltzers.
A note before you plan around this one: our records show no fresh social posts or on-the-ground intel from Barrel Oak in some time, so a few of the specifics below \u2014 particularly hours \u2014 may have shifted. Confirm directly with the winery before making the trip.
What to Expect on a Visit
The draw at Barrel Oak is the range: estate wine one visit, a beer-club pour the next. The winery runs several membership tiers \u2014 a Quarterly Club and Case Club for wine, a Crush & Craft Collective and VIP Barrel Cru for hybrid drinkers, and a Corporate Cellar Circle for groups \u2014 plus an Annual Mug Club on the beer side that comes with a personalized mug and member-only events. For groups, The Loft is a private event space that holds up to 40 guests, and the property hosts frequent winery and brewery events worth checking ahead of a visit.
Stay the Night: Winemaker's Cottage
Barrel Oak also offers on-site lodging at the Winemaker's Cottage, a vineyard-adjacent stay that comes with charcuterie and breakfast bundles for overnight guests \u2014 a rare way to wake up inside the vines rather than just visiting them for an afternoon. The property also partners with Bri Alexander Wellness for occasional sound baths and mind-body sessions among the vines, so it's worth a glance at the events calendar before booking a summer weekend.
