About The Williamsburg Winery

The Williamsburg Winery is a destination winery and hospitality estate located on the 400‑acre Wessex Hundred farm in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is one of Virginia’s largest and best‑known wineries, producing a wide range of wines and operating tasting rooms, restaurants, and event spaces on site, as well as an inn-style hotel for overnight guests. The consumer-facing brand is commonly referred to as The Williamsburg Winery, while the legal entity is The Williamsburg Winery, Ltd.([williamsburgwinery.com](https://www.williamsburgwinery.com/?utm_source=openai))

A charge labeled something like “TWW EA Williamsburg VA” very likely refers to The Williamsburg Winery and, in this context, “EA” almost certainly stands for “Event Admission.” The descriptor you provided also ends with “5812,” which is the standard merchant category code for eating places and restaurants; this fits the winery’s frequent use as a food-and-wine venue for concerts, special events, pairing dinners, and festivals, where tickets and food packages are sold through modern point‑of‑sale systems such as Square.([williamsburgwinery.com](https://www.williamsburgwinery.com/visit/special-events?utm_source=openai)) As a result, this type of charge is typically tied to wine tastings, restaurant or tavern visits on the property, special events, weddings, or ticketed experiences rather than to a generic online purchase.

If you don’t recognize the charge, first think back to any recent visits to the Williamsburg, Virginia area, especially to wine tastings, concerts, weddings, festivals, or restaurant meals at The Williamsburg Winery. Check any email confirmations for event tickets, tasting reservations, or lodging at their associated inn, and compare dates and amounts with your statement. If you still have questions, contact The Williamsburg Winery directly via the phone number or contact form on their website; provide the transaction date, amount, and the descriptor exactly as it appears on your statement so they can look it up in their Square/POS records. If they’re unable to locate the transaction or you suspect fraud, you should then dispute the charge with your card issuer, who can investigate and reverse it if it is unauthorized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the “TWW EA Williamsburg VA” descriptor on my card statement mean?

This descriptor likely stands for The Williamsburg Winery with “EA” meaning Event Admission, indicating you purchased tickets or entry to a winery event, concert, festival, or similar activity at their Williamsburg, Virginia estate. The trailing “5812” is the merchant category code for restaurants/eating places, which fits their food-and-wine operations.

Why was I charged by The Williamsburg Winery through Square instead of seeing their full name?

The Williamsburg Winery often uses modern POS systems like Square to process payments for tastings, restaurant bills, and event tickets. On some cards this appears as a shortened descriptor such as “Sq *TWW EA” followed by the location, but the underlying merchant is still The Williamsburg Winery, not Square.

What types of purchases typically result in charges from The Williamsburg Winery?

Common charges include wine tastings, restaurant or tavern meals, bar tabs during concerts or special events, wedding or private-event payments, ticketed festivals, and bottle or merchandise purchases at their tasting rooms and estate. Package deals may bundle food, wine, and admission into a single charge.

Does The Williamsburg Winery have recurring charges or subscriptions that might bill my card regularly?

The Williamsburg Winery operates wine club memberships that can involve recurring shipments or periodic charges when allocations are processed. If you’ve joined one of their clubs or signed up for regular wine shipments on their website or at the tasting room, you may see recurring charges aligned with your membership terms.

How can I get a receipt or invoice for a charge from The Williamsburg Winery?

If you purchased on-site, you may have received an email or text receipt from their Square terminal or a printed receipt from the tasting room or restaurant. You can also contact The Williamsburg Winery via the contact details on williamsburgwinery.com and request a copy, providing the last four digits of your card, transaction date, and amount so staff can retrieve the record.

How do I request a refund or resolve a billing issue with The Williamsburg Winery?

Start by contacting The Williamsburg Winery directly through their published phone number or contact form, and explain the issue—whether it’s a duplicate charge, incorrect amount, or a canceled event. They can usually issue adjustments or refunds through their POS system if appropriate. If you cannot resolve it with them or suspect the transaction is fraudulent, contact your card issuer to open a dispute.

Why do I see a small or temporary pending charge from The Williamsburg Winery?

When you open a tab at the winery’s restaurant or bar, or when a card is used to hold a reservation or preauthorise an event, the system may place a temporary authorization hold. This pending amount can differ slightly from the final total and should settle or drop off once the final bill is closed and posted.

How can I cancel or change a wine club or event booking that bills through The Williamsburg Winery?

For wine club memberships, log into your account via williamsburgwinery.com or contact their wine club or customer service team to pause, cancel, or adjust your membership before the next billing date. For ticketed events or special experiences, review the cancellation and refund terms on your confirmation email and reach out to the winery’s events team as early as possible if you need to change or cancel your reservation.
