Wisteria Farm and Vineyard LogoThank you for visiting our site.  We are located in the Shenandoah Valley in Page county, known for its rural character and scenic beauty, between the towns of Luray and Stanley.  Our small farm winery is nestled on the western slope of the Blue Ridge mountains.  This is a working farm and vineyard; we also have a flock of natural-colored Romney sheep as well as free-roaming chickens.

We invite you to come out and enjoy a day in the country.  Bring a picnic and wander around the farm and vineyard or just sit on our deck, enjoying the wine and the surroundings.

**  PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE FOR THE PICK 'EM AND STOMP 'EM  **

Our 3rd annual Pick 'em and Stomp 'em party is now scheduled for Saturday, SEPTEMBER 4.  A fun-filled day for all!  Come out early and help harvest our first grapes of the season.  Once the grapes have been picked, the stomping begins!  If you've ever wondered what it's like to stomp grapes like Lucy or just see how the grapes are turned into wine, this is your chance!  We plan to start picking around 7 a.m. and the stomping will begin once the grapes are all in, usually around 10 or 11.  This event is dependent on the grapes and Mother Nature, so be sure to check this site or give us a call to make sure there are no changes.

Our farm dates from the 1890s, although we are the first to grow grapes here. Our tasting room is an addition to the original house, a lovely Victorian.  Our vineyard is located on a very old creek bed and is extremely porous and rocky, which helps the grapevines thrive. 

We follow sustainable agriculture practices, and strive to be good stewards of the land.  All of our trellising is made from cedars grown on our property which we had to clear to make way for the vineyard - no treated posts and recycling at its best!

We believe a great wine comes from great grapes.  To that end, we spend most of our time in the vineyard, tending the grapes.  We pick them at the optimal time to allow the wine to achieve it's highest potential on it's own with minimal interference from the winemaker. 

All of our wine is crafted from 100% Virginia-grown grapes.  Our goal is that they will eventually all be from estate-grown grapes.  Our first year offerings include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Viognier, Traminette, Seyval, Merlot, Carmine, and Norton.  The tasting fee is $5 and includes a souvenir glass.
