Our Philosophy
Report
We grow over 95 percent of the grapes we use - meticulously hand tended and managed using the most diligent step-by-step process we can. You will see our primary and largest vineyard as you enter the property, and while you sit out on our patios enjoying our wines.
Over the past 18 years we have changed virtually every element of our growing regimes, seeking to find and use methods that work best at our locations - and which we continue to tweak in pursuit of continuous improvement.Viticulture in Virginia is a complicated business. We battle frosts in the spring, high heat and humidity in the summer, hurricanes in the fall and a range of mildews, rots and other diseases and insect pests all season long.

Our Story
Report
We have been growing grapes for nearly two decades at our property, nestled at the eastern edge of the Shenandoah National Park in the shadow of Old Rag Mountain and White Oak Canyon. Our story is best described as a "hobby gone wild, " and you can read a fun and interesting set of articles from the Piedmont Virginian Magazine about how we got started and our journey over the years.
