If you want to book the Albermarle Estate expect ALL LUXURY.
Coming up to the gate you will be buzzed in and can continue forward to the Estate. You will be greeted outdoors by one of the staff to help you with your bags and check you in. This last visit was our second time staying here and we received an upgraded room along with our favorite Trump wine with a handwritten note that they remembered we enjoy it last year. We stayed in one of their king rooms, which was stunning, comfortable and clean but this time we got to enjoy their best suite. Two bathrooms, enormous bedroom with high ceilings, a steam shower and a clawfoot tub. Honestly, I have not been anywhere more luxurious.
The costs per night for the luxury you receive is worth every penny. Rooms can range depending on the time of year, $450 – $1050 per night. They also offer a beautiful, private cabin off to the side with amazing views, and two beds. The estate is pet friendly as well, but I would ask first.
The Albermarle Estate welcomes all their visitors with perfect excellence. They are a beautiful pool table, card table, scrabble board, jacuzzi and an outdoor pool only open during the warmer weather. Plenty of space to walk around and have quiet time with your loved one.
Dinner is always of the highest standards, perfect flavors with many choices. You pick the time you will want dinner, and you never have to wait for a table. I have never found the menu online, but we have never been disappointed. If you like yummy food and great wine, you will not be unhappy picking Albemarle for your dinner choice. The concierge will ask you each day if you will be joining them for dinner and what time you would like to eat.
Breakfast in the front room can get sunny and warm if you pick the window seat but it’s a lovely view with the sun rising.
Walking the grounds, which is also connected to Trump winery is very expansive and a great workout! I highly recommend a morning or afternoon walk. The have an outdoor pool, exercise room and massage room by appointment only. The estate also offers weddings which I now regret not having ours there.
Located on the 1300 acres is Trump Winery and the Cidery. The winery is one of the most fantastic wineries we have visited. Sitting out on the veranda or even in one of the many Adirondack chairs they have in the grass overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains doesn’t get old! It gets even better when you stay at the Albermarle Estate right next door.

The above shot was a beautiful warm day in January. The vines are not green and plump with grapes, but the wine is always flowing.
Also, here at the winery they do serve light foods, such as charcuterie boards, sandwiches, various flatbreads, salads, and snacks.
Across the property is the Trump Cidery. The tasting room is open Friday through Tuesdays from 12-6PM. They also offer sandwiches, BBQ platters, appetizers and sides. www.trumpwinery.com/cidery
