Rappahannock Cellars

Recognizing the promise in Virginia wines, we moved our family’s winery from California to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the heart of Virginia. With careful tending of the vineyard and exacting knowledge of the cellar, we strive to create rich, supple, and elegant wines, dedicated to the winegrower’s art. When you live by the firm belief that “wine is made in the vineyard,” you come to realize that selecting the right vineyard site, and carefully tending the vines, are the most important things we do here at Rappahannock Cellars. Thus our estate vineyard is our “goose that lays the golden egg,” so to speak. our vineyardWe strive to grow only the highest quality Virginia grapes. Our estate vineyard at Rappahannock Cellars is commonly known as the “Glenway Vineyard,” as it’s located on the historic Glenway Farm in Rappahannock County (circa 1804.) We strive to grow the highest quality grapes in Virginia, while at the same time being environmentally sensitive to the land, and leaving the smallest possible footprint on our farm. We are keenly aware that not only do we derive our livelihood from this land, but we also live and raise our children on it
