Since 1980 when we released our first vintage, the Morrisette family has produced premier wines. Whether you are a connoisseur, just being introduced to wine, or anywhere in between, we make the ideal wine for your taste. Chateau Morrisette Winery is located in a spectacular mountain setting in Floyd County off the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway between mileposts 171 and 172. The restaurant at serves lunch and dinner. Make plans to visit our restaurant, gift shop, gardens, the winery for a tour and wine tasting, or stop by for one of our special events.

Tasting fee $5. Open seven days, Monday-Thursday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Sunday 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

“There is much to take in at Chateau Morrisette: the Southern-style food and scenic view at the restaurant, the free live music on Sunday afternoons (June – October), weekly events including mystery dinners and beach parties, the huge gift shop, the rambling gardens.

And then there’s the wine (oh, right…winery!). The wine mix is just as varied as the entertainment, with 15 reds and 13 whites and blush. Chateau Morrisette shares the fruits of their labors with causes that range from service dogs to the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation to Virginia Tech’s scholarship fund.

You may want to plan to stay a while.
