Castle Vineyards, Luray: Weekend Tasting Hours, October
A young Page County vineyard with an eight-wine flight, and a schedule worth confirming before you drive out
Castle Vineyards, a tasting room on Mims Road north of Luray, is open to visitors on weekends only this October: Saturday from noon to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m. The vineyard opened in 2017 and pours an eight-wine flight of wines it ages itself. If you are planning a fall afternoon in Page County, this is a weekend stop.

A weekend-only tasting room
The detail that matters most for planning is the schedule. A recent change to the venue's posted hours reads: closed on weekdays, reopening Saturday and Sunday at noon. Our listing shows the tasting room closed Monday through Thursday, and it carries no Friday entry, so treat Friday as unconfirmed and do not count on it. A drive out on a weekday could leave you at a closed gate. Castle Vineyards has also not posted on social media in the past thirty days, so a quick call before you go is sensible. That is a practical note, not a warning about the vineyard's future.
What you are there for
Castle Vineyards describes itself around an eight-wine flight of wines aged and finished on site. The venue profile is brief, and we have not verified individual bottlings, pricing, or food service, so we are not going to guess at them. It earns a 4.7 on Google, a strong score for a young vineyard, and that suggests visitors come away happy. If you are a wine-club type who likes to meet a place early, a 2017 opening means the vines and the cellar are still finding their voice, and a Saturday-afternoon flight is a fair way to judge for yourself.
Timing your Page County afternoon
Saturday gives you the longest window, with the room open until 7:00 p.m., so you can arrive after a morning elsewhere in the valley and still sit through a full flight without hurrying. Sunday closes an hour earlier, at 6:00 p.m., which makes it the better choice for a late-lunch start and an early return to the road. Either day, arrive with time in hand rather than at closing.
If you are building a longer Page County weekend, Hotel Laurance in downtown Luray is a 12-room boutique hotel in an 1830 mercantile building at 2 South Court Street, and Bank Street Books at 201 West Main Street is a two-floor used bookstore open noon to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Both are in Luray proper, separate from the vineyard.
