History
Starting with the purchase of the property in 2002, 20 acres of grapes were planted in 2003, 2004 and 2005 with an additional planting in 2009. Vineyards include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Gris and Petit Manseng, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The tasting room opened in 2005 in the winery production facility with a piece of plywood between 2 barrels!. We now have a modern tasting room facility which can hold private and public events in the comfort expected by our customers.. The vineyard and winery operations are operated using Sustainable principles and the winery boasts a Virginia Green and a Virginia's Best accreditation.
