Virginia Mountain Vineyards was established as a vineyard in the spring of 1998 with the planting of two grape varieties (Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc) totaling 3325 vines. The operation has since grown to include an additional three grape varieties (Merlot, Traminette, and Petit Verdot) bringing the vine total to 5625 over a 9.5 acre plot. Many thanks are extended to the family and friends who have helped make the vineyard a success.

The grapes are picked and placed into lugs before heading to the winery for crushing. Many hands are needed to pick and haul the grapes so that they reach the winery on time.

The grapes are crushed and tanked. Eventually, some of the wines will make their way into oak barrels for the final aging.
