The Winery at Bull Run is located quite close to the historical Manassas National Battlefield Park. The place has a long history and quite a few of stories have unfolded here. It is quite natural that the people who are associated with the winery in the present would have certain outrageous accounts of happenings that occurred with them at the place. Some of the bizarre events that the employees and even the owners of the Winery witnessed are documented below.
By Dean Gruenburg, Tasting Room Manager
April 2014
The past spring he kept getting bizarre smells at the bottom of the steps of the tasting room. Initially he thought that they may have been coming from the bathrooms or the barrel room. He walked towards the bathrooms but nothing smelled out of the ordinary. SO he went downstairs to the barrel room and all that he could smell was the wood oak of the winery and the rustic wine. SO he came back upstairs. As he was walking up towards the General Deck's door it came again. As he opened the door the horrid smell very strangely vanished. He walked up to the deck and checked everywhere for that smell but found nothing. He came back down and shut the door. Just as he was about the walk down the stairs towards the tasting room the odor brushed across his face. He asked it to move away from him and go higher towards the staircase near the General Deck's door. Immediately he heard the sound of footsteps on a flight of stairs above him.

He and an accomplice Tyler were outside taking out the trash. When they were by the Hillwood Ruins, Tyler decided to take a seat on the Ruins. At the time the Winery had lights placed there although nothing was plugged in. When Tyler sat down all the lights suddenly turned on. Weirded out a little he got up and shouted “What the..?” and without any warning the lights turned off. Again he sat down and the lights switched on. Bothe of them thought it wise to rush towards the winery.

Recently Jon met up with his good friend Bill and had a nice chat with him regarding the winery's exciting history. Bill boards a horse at the neighboring Union Ridge Horse Farm. During their conversation Bill mentioned the story of the lost cavalry and shared the horrifying experience of a young man ten years ago. It was right after sunset when the young man was riding towards the back of the field leading to Sudley Ford. He had been trail on the Manassas Battlefield since early morning and was very tired. All of sudden he heard a loud “Thump Thump” and subsequently the echoes of hundred's of horses' hooves galloping along. As he stopped for a moment to see where the sounds were coming from he could find nothing. As he turned to leave all at once a huge troop of civil War cavalry rode right through him. The young man just froze totally bewildered.
