About this property

The Inn at Woodmont Plantation, Gauthier Vineyard's Winery & Event Center

New Kent County’s rural character and historic legacy offer a soothing change of pace with scenic country views of active farmlands. We have striven to provide a quiet county setting for our guests. Ensuring your comfort and a pleasant farm winery experience are our primary objectives. The Inn is on its own private lane which also connects it to the winery. There are both a front porch and a screened-in back porch where you can enjoy a cup of hot coffee or tea in the morning and listen to the song birds. In the evening, relax on either porch with a glass of wine and perhaps spot some wild turkey and deer grazing in the surrounding fields.

Common areas include both formal and informal dining areas. Our foyer has multiple sitting areas. There is a library where our guests can chose from thousands of movies and an eclectic collection of books for loan during your stay.

Our spacious guest suites are cheerfully illuminated with five large windows each with expansive country views. All rooms include private sitting areas. Guest accommodations include complimentary tastings at the winery Friday thru Sunday, as well as wine and cheese at the Inn upon check-in on Friday and Saturday at 4:00 PM. Winery hours are available on the winery website: www.GauthierVineyard.com.

The inn was well-supplied, clean and set up just right for our party of nine. An added benefit was the wine-tasting and freshly-made pizza at the nearby vineyard. Together with proximity to Williamsburg and all of its attractions, this was the perfect spot for our church group's annual fall retreat!

It is always a pleasure to welcome our Inn guests to the winery, too. When weather is nice, our guests can stroll to the tasting room in 5 minutes. In addition to the winery tasting coupons, our guests can also enjoy the large outdoor firepit or the indoors fireplace, as they dine on Outdoor,wood-fired pizzas. Thanks for the kind words of your review. Our goal is to ensure ours guests are comfortable and happy with the experience.

We just had the most wonderful family gathering over the weekend! The Inn has all the comforts of home. The bedrooms are lovely and spacious, and the kitchen and dining area are perfectly suited for preparing, serving, and enjoying meals together. I think that is where we spent most of our time! We also really enjoyed walking over to the winery and using our complimentary wine flight coupons. The winery space is lovely also, and the wines we tried were amazing. We would definitely return for another stay!

Couples winery weekend getaway!

Have some wine lover friends. Rented out the inn and brought 5 couples. Saturday we walked over to the tasting room and walked back. Had a great time, both at the inn and at the tasting room. Plenty of space and comfortable even for a group of 10.

Family Weekend Getaway

We planned this stay in Williamsburg to celebrate a 50th birthday. We did a ghost tour, had dinner, saw a movie, and did some shopping. This house was in a great location being about 20 minutes from everything. The house was beautiful and very clean and comfortable. We’d definitely come back!

Family Time & 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Lovely stay at the Inn at Woodmont Plantation for our family celebrating our parents 50th. There were 8 of us and the room accommodations were perfect for all ages. Property is right between Richmond, where we flew in to, and “America’s Historic Triangle”. We walked to the Gauthier vineyard for pizza night which was a highlight. Would highly recommend - we will be back!

VRBO EXCELLENCE IN EVERY WAY!

We rent VRBO at least 10 times annually & this is a top favorite property. Spotless, the most comfortable beds, the most well stocked kitchen to prepare meals. The outside property is serene and beautiful. This time we were able to take advantage of the winery which was added plus. You would never need to leave the property. The Host were very communicative to make sure all needs were met. No need to as it was absolutely perfect in every way!

Penn State Buds

We are a group of 9 that have been friends for 52 years. We try to spend a few days together every year. The Inn could not have been a more perfect place! There was plenty of room to gather together as well as space for smaller group chat. We loved the well equipped kitchen, as we cooked all our meals there. We enjoyed the fire pit and our afternoon at the winery. All of us agreed we would be happy to return. Thanks, Mo, for such a great time and space!

Fantastic Property!

This is a beautiful property with a vineyard onsite! Everything in the house worked and was really clean. High comfortable beds! Great water pressure in all bathrooms. Amazing back patio with fire pit and charcoal grill. The owner was very nice but you do need to stick to the 10 person max guests if you do not want to be charged an additional rate per person per night. The house is set up with 5 bedrooms and is ideal for couples as all rooms have 1 queen bed per room. Again I cant stress how peaceful and well kept this property is. I would absolutely advise booking.

Disappointed at best

Location and home was beautiful. There needed to be more thorough cleaning throughout the property. Bed room linens were stained. Kitchen sink was dirty. Dust throughout property. Communication with property manager was condescending and threatening due to an honest mistake of misreading of policies.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2022
It is unfortunate that you have reviewed us negatively when we made accommodations for you to continue the party you were holding that was against our policy. Beware future hosts, this renter allows her children to rent the property under her account and then claims to not understand property policies. The property manager was clearly stating that the onslaught of unregistered vehicles and guests were outside of the agreement made when renting. They were working with you to move your guests to the winery so not to disrupt your guests who traveled far distances. The owner allowed your guests to stay and finish your “celebration”. We are sorry you feel a 2 Star rating reflects the service we provided to you.

Wonderfully appointed, beautiful

A group of 10 rented the entire inn while we were in the general area for a family wedding. The inn was truly lovely and the rooms were all well furnished and very comfortable. It was rainy the weekend we were there, so we did not have the opportunity to fully appreciate the lovely outdoor spaces that were available to us. The owners were very friendly and gave us tickets for wine flights at the winery over the hill. The inn could not have been nicer! The kitchen and other gathering spaces were spacious and handsomely decorated. My only niggling complaint was just that it was quite remote geographically, and farther than we expected from where we needed to be. For us this was a disadvantage, but I could easily see it as an advantage for others who want to get away. It was a lovely spot and the vineyard was beautiful.

Nice spacious home but poor check in process. The code to get in the house was not given on the email from VRBO and we had to ask people at the winery how to get in and the address was wrong. Wi-Fi code written so we could not read it and contacting the owners did not produce quick results.A shelf in the cabinet was not installed properly and dishes fell everywhere when we were putting them away breaking some. Neither coffee maker worked, we didn’t get much coffee, and they made big messes.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Overton

Host profile image
Mo and Sandi Gauthier, your hosts, are retired Navy veterans, having served over five decades of active duty, combined. Since the 1980s, they had the great fortune to serve mostly in Virginia from Hampton Roads to Northern Virginia. Mo was raised on the North Shore of Boston, MA, entering the Naval Academy in the summer of 1965. Sandi grew up as farm girl in Missouri, graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, MO, and entered the Navy in 1975. Upon their retirements in the late 1990s, they chose Virginia as their home, and in 2002, they purchased their home on the York River in Barhamsville, VA. In 2010, they purchased their Fairwinds Farm on Farmers drive and began building their vision.

Why they chose this property

The Inn at Woodmont Plantation is centrally located to Williamsburg & Virginia Beaches. Experience a wine tasting weekend while enjoying the views of 3000 vines and horses grazing in the paddocks. The Inn is a perfect place for the bride or grooms family while utilizing the event center to host your special day.

What makes this property unique

The 2010 construction of the equestrian center was followed with the planting of 3000 vines and erection of the vineyard’s iconic gazebo in 2011. In 2012, they began construction of the winery tasting room. The tasting room was opened in the winter of 2014. In 2016, they began construction of an event center, sitting atop their underground winemaking and wine storage facility. First events in the new center were held in 2018.

In the Spring of 2019, Mo and Sandi purchased a new construction house located on 12-acres at the end of Woodmont Plantation and adjacent to their Fairwinds Farm. They immediately began a long process of converting this five bedroom house into their prospective Inn, with plans to open in the Spring of 2020. The 2020 Covid pandemic delayed opening until September 0f 2020.
