Do you take your kids to vineyards?

Any local with something fun for kids?

Yes, if it’s nice out and they can stay outside. We like 8 chains north and sunset hills with our kids. Potomac point has a playroom inside

Could we please get lists of wineries frequented by families with children and wineries that do no have children?

I do not want to attend a playground that serves alcohol.

Barrel Oak Winery. Kids galore.

Rockland farm

Sugarloaf mountain ... visit the mountain first, their festival kids can stomp grapes

I think this is a thing now. Yesterday we were invited to a “kid friendly distillery” - it was on their marketing material.

Whiskey and preschoolers - seems like an odd mix

It’s money. People with kids want to get out and do things. They like vineyards. If you have a vineyard that’s kid friend key, the parents make money. It’s simple.

No I don’t for the same reason I don’t take my kid to a bar. I am a single parent so I am the only one driving.

I hate this trend. It burns me up when I get a sitter to go out with my spouse and little kids are running around.

You could bring along a friend.

Why not go to a restaurant downtown then? Few if any kids out on Saturday nights at downtown restaurants.

Wineries are usually in beautiful outdoor places. Hence the kids. Use your noodle.

There are tons of non family friendly wineries. Go to one of those, yeah.

and remember, you choosing to go out without your children doesn't mean the world is going to be a child free space.

Choose your venue wisely and stop bitching

Isn’t the point of going to a winery to drink? My friends aren’t going to go with me to be my designated driver.

I live in central VA and there are wineries galore. We go to MANY with our kids. But when we have a babysitter, we go to the small ones that don’t allow buses/tours, and usually are quieter without kids. A few do not allow anyone under 18.

When we bring our kid and dog, it is just to be outside and maybe have a glass of wine and a picnic. We usually order a case to bring home. Sometimes, there is music, activities. You don't have to drink and get snockered.
