We are happy to be open and look forward to seeing you! We are a small vineyard, so reservations are appreciated, especially for groups over 6 and on holiday weekends. Strolling the vineyard with a bottle or glass is welcomed. BYO-blanket for a picnic and relax! We are thrilled to be part of a featured article on rose' wines in the current issue of Cultivate magazine!
MountainRose Vineyards would like to thank everyone who voted in Savor Virginia's Readers' Choice Awards this past fall. MountainRose won Best Winery in three categories: Sparkling Wine- Bronze, Dessert Wine- Silver and Cabernet Franc- Bronze. The Concord vines were so lovely in 2020. But wait. Something is missing!

David's primary responsibilities involve selecting, planting and training the appropriate grape varieties for our microclimates. He has been growing grapes and apples for more than 20 years, and has been involved in the day-to-day operations of the business since its founding.
He completed an internship at Prince Michel's Winery one semester while studying engineering at Virginia Tech and completed several additional soil classes from Oregon State University.He initially learned many of his pruning and grafting skills from older orchard owners in the area, continuing to develop and refine those skills through annual workshops and training.

Vineyards
Report
MountainRose Vineyards planted its first vines in 1996 with several varieties on the previously mined land. Eight varieties of grapes (white: Traminette, Riesling, Vidal Blanc, Seyval Blanc, Niagara, Rkatsiteli, and red: Chancellor, and Cabernet franc) now grow here. Another three acres of young vines (Coroir noir, Chancellor, Cab franc, and Pinot noir grapes) are in future production.
Wines
Report
MountainRose Vineyard wines are very fruity, complex, and smooth because we are able to let our fruits get much riper than many grapes in the rest of Virginia. At our higher elevation of 2640 feet, we don't have the humidity problems which creates downy and powdery mildew problems for the rest of the state.
Recipes
Report
Much healthier than store or restaurant pizza because you have a whole-grain crust, plenty of vegetables, and a reasonable amount of cheese. Kids can make this in a toaster oven! A delicious garlic and tomato sauce covers tender pork cutlets. Serve with crusty bread, a leafy salad, and maybe a side of buttered pasta with a little of the sauce on top.
