Wine Tasting Room

Services & Process

The tasting room offers guided flights of estate wines, including the winery's well-regarded Meritage blend and a range of single-varietal bottlings that showcase what Albemarle County's growing conditions can produce. During polo season, typically spring through fall, Sunday matches on the grounds create a festive atmosphere that draws visitors who come for the sport and stay for the wine. Private events are accommodated on the property, with the mountain backdrop making it a particularly sought-after wedding and celebration venue. Wine club membership is available and provides allocation access, which matters for their more limited-production labels.

The property also attracts visitors from Waynesboro, Staunton, and the broader Shenandoah Valley corridor who are looking for a Blue Ridge wine experience.
