We are happy that you are interested in visiting us. We are located midway between Staunton and Lexington, Virginia west of I-81. Follow Middlebrook Road, Rt. 252 until you reach McKinley Road. Once you are on McKinley Road, ignore your mapping. The properties surrounding our farm were once a part of a larger parcel and mapping is inaccurate. If you’re coming from Middlebrook Rd. travel approximately 2 miles. We are located next to Redeemer Lutheran Church.  You will see a yellow farmhouse that will let you know you’re in the right place. There are directional signs when you enter the property for the tasting room on the left and the parking lot above.

Our focus is on hospitality. As a small farm winery we cannot accommodate tour groups, limousine service, nor unscheduled groups larger than 6. Not only does our small tasting room not able to accommodate, but the paved road bed is narrow.

No one under the age of 21 allowed. No exceptions. We love children, but there are no elements of our tasting room that will entertain you children while you and others enjoy the Virginia wine experience. We are a working farm. At no time are animals allowed on the farm. Please make arrangements to enjoy a carefree experience.

We are located in close proximity to Little North Mountain. We respect the land therefore, no smoking on the property at any time.

APPROPRIATE DRESS
Since we are a working farm, it is important to have footwear.

CLOSEST GAS STATION
This is an important item to note.  We are approximately 12 miles from the nearest gas station.  Plan accordingly.
