Horton Vineyards

(Note – Geo Coords listed here are not personally confirmed. This is according to Google maps and/or another web source; your mileage may vary!)

Stunning stone underground cellars, views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a wonderful vaulted ceiling tasting room are the highlights of this beautiful winery. 1993 saw the first crush at the new Horton Cellars and in 1994 additional acreage came into production with plantings of Bordeaux, Portuguese and Spanish varietals as well as additional varietals of the Rhone Valley. The national success of these wines has demonstrated that if the right grapes are planted for the climate of Virginia the results can be stunning. In the future, Horton Vineyards will continue to explore new varietals to discover the best that Virginia viticulture can produce.

No tasting fee. Open 7 Days a Week, 10 am – 5 pm

“Horton Vineyards has always been a favorite for Virginia winery-goers. The sheer exuberance of the place is worthy of a visit. Dozens of wines to taste – all free! – many you won’t see often in Virginia: Rkatsiteli, Roussanne, Pinotage, Graciano. The hordes of admirers. The whimsical naming: Chateau le Cabin, Rojo Xoco, Chateauneuf du Virginia.

These guys have a ton of creativity and a great sense of humor. They’re well known for their “”Norton from Horton,”" and were one of the first in Virginia to try out the now-ubiquitous Viognier. They were also the first Cab Franc I (Nancy) ever tasted, oh so many years ago, sending me off to countless Northern Virginia groceries to try and find more, more, more.

Kids and pets welcome; bring your picnic; parking for RVs and buses.”
