This is our second year back at the winery/camp site and once again, all expectations were met. Great environment, friendly faces to interact with, and even better wine. Also plenty to do in the surrounding area

Geodesic Dome
Absolutely Perfect
If you are looking for a unique and memorable stay, this geodesic dome on a vineyard with Max is definitely worth checking out. The dome itself is very cosy with a comfortable mattress off the ground, wood stove, and two person dining table. Max, our host, greeted us immediately with a delicious wine tasting and escorted us to our campsite. The fact that the wine tasting is included adds to the appeal of this accommodation and was the perfect spot on private property . The campsites we passed on the way to the dome had exceptional views which led to our excitement. We had high expectations and Max delivered. Max left us alone for the most part and even brought us the last few supplies we needed while we were getting settled. The dome was a bit hot during the day but we brought a fan and we were fine. I can honestly say I have never slept better camping. We fell asleep to the pulse of the earth and slept in until 10 am. It’s a primitive site, bathroom is on the property but a small walk. We had everything we needed though, My wife packed our car for a full camping trip and we didn’t need half of our equipment. It felt like we got a getaway less than an hour away from our home, which is rare in NoVa. If you like wine, privacy and a comfortable mattress, this place is for you. Max even brought us an extra battery to charge our phones. 10/10 would come again. Try their rose wine and ask them about their teavine! See ya soon Max, you’re awesome.

Rose’ All Day!
Max and his vineyard camping was the perfect spot to get away from the DC hustle! The views were stunning, the wines delicious (Sparking Rose - all day!) and Chardonnay were particularly my favorite. Max and Peter were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The public restroom was stocked and clean! Thanks we will definitely come back!

Such a great spot to get away! The campsites were spread far and wide, even better as we were lucky to be the only campers that weekend. Max greeted us as we arrived, as well as gave us a quick wine tasting the following day. Would highly recommend and come back out again in the future.

Great weekend Getaway
Great views, easy camping, good wine and Max was very friendly. The bathrooms were heated which was nice in the middle of the night and Max was helpful with things to do nearby.

Perfect evening!
Our camping experience in the vineyard was amazing! The sunset was perfect, the site was great, we had a fire going for hours, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. So nice having a bathroom close by. Loved it and will recommend and probably be back with the family!

Beautiful and relaxing spot!
We had a great weekend at Chapelle Charlemagne! Max met us when we arrived and the yeti cooler and some wood and gave us a few options for spots to camp. It was wonderful - private from the other guests but still convenient to the bathroom and easy to drive and walk around. The wine was great and the vibes were perfect for a fall weekend! Hope to be back soon.

The camp sites at the vineyard had a lot of open space, beautiful views and everything we needed for a nice car-camping getaway weekend. Max was a great host and we enjoyed getting to taste the wines!

I would definitely recommend this spot! Max was very personable and ready to help with whatever we needed. The campsites were clean, the fire pit was huge with a great cooking grate, and the view was beautiful. The wine tasting on the weekend was an amazing plus!

Camping with Wine!
The property is beautiful and Max is a wonderful host, super nice guy. He makes fantastic wine as well. The property is quiet. This was our second stay here and we’ll be back for sure!

Camping at a vineyard
We loved tent camping on Max’s land. We aren’t big wine drinkers and came for the views and they did not disappoint! The views are beautiful and so were the grounds. We enjoyed our stay and Max was very accommodating. We will return very soon!

We booked our stay for what ended up being the hottest day of the year so far, so we ended up giving up on camping :( but the land is beautiful, there's an awesome dome structure at one of the sites for hanging out in a covered area, and Max is a friendly, helpful (and in our case, understanding) host! if you do the wine tasting, try the TeaVine!! SO GOOD.

I enjoyed camping on Max's property with vineyard views. The limited number of sites made for a amazingly 'solitary' camping experience. (I knew Max was just over the rise and more than willing to respond or accessible by phone.) It was the perfect location to access the function I was there to attend. Thanks again for the lovely campsite!!

Perfect couples and family trip!
First off the stay was BEAUTIFUL. I got to take some drone footages of the area and my oh my it’s beautiful. Max was super friendly, very good host, had us beating the heat inside his bar with some wine tasting. We ended up getting Covidal and Teavine wine. My goodness were they good 😊. Enjoyed every moment of it!

Wine and camping near Shenandoah
What a wonderful place to camp! Beautiful property and views, clean bathroom with running water, and on-site wine tasting. Also very close to the national park. We really enjoyed hiking in the park, and coming back for wine, a picnic dinner, and a campfire. Max was a great host, too! I would definitely corm back.

The camp site overlooking the vineyard had great views and easy access to water and facilities… and wine. Would love to stay at Chapelle Charlemagne again!!

Max was fantastic - he gave my partner and I a free wine tasting, set us up at the fire pit, brought wood to our campsite, and from the start was warm and welcoming. We will absolutely be bac !

Camping at vineyard
Camping at Max's lovely campsite was very enjoyable. As a host Max couldn't have been any better, he went out of his way to provide us with additional ice -- a real hero! The on-site bathroom makes this a great spot for anyone who is tentative about camping.
We really enjoyed the wine from the vineyard while watching the fireflies in a meadow of wildflowers.

I camped at this site solo and enjoyed solitude the location offered while also appreciation the opportunity to mix with others for wine tasting at the outdoor seating area nearby. I met Max who showed me around the site giving me a choice of campgrounds. I liked the one closest to the wine tasting area where the nice bathroom is located. I plan to come back with my family another time -- it's a nice alternative to some of the nearby camping in Shenandoah National Park where a very different experience is offered with crowded campgrounds.

Fantastic spot for a weekend get away, especially with pets. Huge open field, secluded, and great wine from the vineyard. Also a ton of other wineries and breweries to hit in the surrounding area.
