Do you do wine tastings?

Yes, we do! Our tastings are now in the form of wine flights that include four (4) 2oz glasses of wine. Choose from our popular pre-selected flights – sweet, dry, or specialty – or choose any four wines to create a custom flight.

Sweet Flight

1 – Stray Cat Strut – semi-sweet
A refreshingly crisp, fruity Catawba wine with hints of grapefruit. Perfect for any occasion

2 – Moscato – sweet
Made from the Muscat Blanc grape, this smooth sweet wine exudes tropical notes and a light citrus finish

3 – Tears of Gettysburg  – sweet
Our hallmark wine since 1988 is a smooth union of Vidal, Seyval, and Niagara.

4 – Rebel Red – sweet
This sweet Concord blend is our most popular red wine. The taste resembles that of a freshly picked grape.

Dry Flight

1 – Traveler – dry                                                                           
A delicate, dry blend of Chardonnay and Vidal with citrus overtones and a crisp finish.

2- Chardonnay – Vintner’s Reserve – dry
This Chardonnay was fermented and aged in French oak barrels and was bottled unfiltered to preserve the wine’s balance and mouthfeel. Notes of walnut, caramel, citrus, lemongrass, and eucalyptus.

3 – Turning Point – Vintner’s Reserve – dry
Notes of freshly crushed wild berries and ripe red currant with aromas of leather, smoke and tobacco.

4 – Harvest Blend – Vintner’s Reserve – dry

Notes of pinecone, eucalyptus, and Macadamia nuts from the oak, followed by aromas of red berries, red plum, and cherries.

Specialty Flight

This is a rotating flight. Typically, it will include a mix of our newest wines and other fun creations. Stop in to see what’s on the specialty flight!

Custom Flight

Choose any 4 wines to create a custom flight!

Do you carry other drink options, besides wine?

Yes! We carry bottled water, non-alcoholic grape juices, Appalachian Brewing Company Root Beer, Appalachian Brewing Company White Birch Beer, local draft beer (Farm Winery only), and local canned beer.

Where can I sit when I get to the Farm Winery?

We have many different seating options, both outside and inside! Inside, we have smaller tables in the hall and Rusty’s Cellar with larger tables for big groups. Outside, we have seating on the patio, in the gardens, and in a large covered pavilion. If you are looking to visit us on a busier day, bringing extra chairs or blankets is always a great idea! Tables are first come, first serve – no reservations needed.
