The Cabernet Cottage is on the property of Monroe Bay Winery that is open as a tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays from noon – 5pm and for other events. You are welcome to check hours and any fun events happening during your visit by looking on Monroe Bay Winery main site under “Calendar”. During weekends, most guest come to the barn and enjoy a glass or wine and meet the staff and owners of the winery. We encourage all guests to come be part of the family and experience. Those that visit during the weekday typically have the entire winery and land essentially to themselves. Some guest stay to themselves in their own indoor and outdoor space or explore Colonial Beach or the recreational opportunities around.
You are diagonal to the barn which is about 25 feet away and parking is directly in front of end bathroom door. The large container doors on far end can be opened and has a magnetic screen that clips to the metal container and opens to grassy field to give you some privacy and enjoyable outdoor space. You are around 100 feet from water front per Chesapeake Bay Act regulations 🙂 We are a working farm so you will find tractor, trailers and other equipment around the property. The land you will be staying at is part of James Monroe (5th US president) birthplace farm and the adjacent 80 acres has a museum and farm house replica you can hike to and visit.
