WHITE FENCES VINEYARD High away in the blackness of the sky over Irvington, Virginia, the meteors often come in showers, slicing the sky by the hundreds or even thousands like the fins of silver fish around a boat at night. Beneath this excess of magic and motion lies the small vineyard called White Fences. While every wine has the character of the land in its soul, we call our wines Meteor because of the unique relationship between land and sky at White Fences. We have only six acres in the vineyard. And we make only a few handcrafted wines. But there is not a bottle of wine we create that does not have in its character that certain sense of itself and where it comes from. |

VALHALLA VINEYARDS Valhalla Vineyards is located in Roanoke. We are on a 2000 foot mountain with incredible views of the Roanoke Valley and beyond. We are an estate winery: we never buy fruit from others. We try to grow the best grapes nature will give us and then stand back as nature, with a little help, ferments those grapes into fine wines. Our Cabernet and 'valkyrie' bordeaux blend spend 40 months in the barrel before bottling and then over a year in bottles before release. This allows the tannins to mellow and produce outstanding big red wines for your pleasure. |

The treasure was buried between 1819 and 1821 by Thomas J. Beale. The real “gold” found in Bedford County is the combination of wonderful people, the beautiful landscape, and majestic views. Johnson Orchard was established in 1918 and Peaks of Otter Winery was established in 1996 as Bedford’s first winery. Now the fifth generation is working and producing fruit wines on the farm. |
