Vint Hill Craft Winery - Vint Hill, VA


A fellow knitter had posted on Facebook about a winery she had visited a few weeks ago.  Today I ventured out to Vint Hill Craft Winery.  I had heard about this cool winery where they let you be a winemaker:  select the grapes from Washington, California, and Virginia, help crush, ferment, rack, bottle, and label your own wine.  How cool is that?!  You can also create a custom label for your own bottles.














Isn't this cool?  I found this in the ladies' room

This machine puts the cork in the bottles




Unfortunately, these are empty

Great signage...tells it all

I had a wonderful time here.  If you get a chance to visit, stop in and say hello to Martha.

Martha:  thank you for the tour of the winery (the history of the barn and the tour of the production area).
