Elements 1010, James Landing Grille and Kingsmill Spa
You can begin your wine tasting adventures at Kingsmill by dining at Elements 1010, James Landing Grille (both featuring wines from local vineyards) and even our world-class spa.

Williamsburg Winery
Start your experience with the best of handcrafted alcoholic beverages at the largest winery in Virginia. The Williamsburg Winery offers tours and tastings of its award-winning wines, a vineyard on its 300 acres and two excellent dining venues, the Gabriel Archer Tavern and Café Provençal. Did we hear “Rose”? The Williamsburg Winery is also home to the first Virginia wine (Canned Dry Rose) available exclusively in a can.

Silver Hand Meadery
The only one of its kind in Williamsburg, Silver Hand Meadery gives you the rare opportunity to learn and explore the ancient beverage of mead, or “honey wine.” Walk through the process of how it’s made; from the honey bee to the bottle. Silver Hand Meadery offers a range of meads with new recipes being introduced regularly, free mead tastings and honey tastings.
Whether you are a consummate connoisseur or someone who is just learning the fine art of drinking wine, you’ll savor all of the opportunities in the Williamsburg area. So sit back, relax and make Kingsmill Resort your base while you imbibe in the many options. We like to think that a glass of wine pairs best with the panoramic views of the James River.
