We are a family owned and operated farm winery located in beautiful Southwest Virginia, not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are Carroll County’s first winery and the second meadery in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our wines are made from honey and are traditionally known as meads. Meads are as diverse as those who make them. We favor dry meads that highlight the floral characteristics of honey, rather than its sweetness. Come enjoy our handcrafted meads on the porch of our "Tobacco Barn" log home.

HOURS: Beginning September 2006, at least 2 weekends per month, 11 AM to 6 PM, other times by appointment. Visit our web site for specifics or call for appointment.
