About Us
The FIRST Certified Craft Winery in Virginia
We are pleased to announce our certification as a CRAFT WINERY. Additionally, each of our wines have been certified as craft wine by the Craft Wine Association.
Craft wine is defined as small production wine with an identifiable winemaker leading production of the wine from start to finish including grape selection to final blend.
All grapes must come from an identifiable vineyard.
We believe our handcrafted wines tell personal stories from the harvest to the bottle.
We are proud to be the FIRST certified craft winery in Virginia and look forward to seeing you all soon!

Why our hours are by appointment for large parties
To taste wine at our winery, we prefer you call ahead for parties over 6 or more. This is because our staff is small and we are not open during certain hours.
We don't want you to see this as an inconvience, rather its more of a convience to you, as we try to give you the best wine tasting experience personalized to suite your wine palate.
