Historian and Henry biographer, Jon Kukla shows you cannot understand the American Revolution without Virginia, and you cannot understand Virginia without Patrick Henry; he also offers a few thoughts about how twenty-first-century Americans might still, as Henry rhetorically advised George III, “profit by his example.” One big question Kukla will address is that posed by George Mason in 1792, George Washington in his Farewell Address, and Henry in his 1799 note to posterity: Was the Revolution a good thing or not?

We make fresh sangria each week, featuring one of our Good Luck wines. We make a different recipe each week -- sometimes it’s made with white, sometimes it’s rose, or red. During the colder months, we make a warm, seasonal version that’ll warm the soul :0 When it’s gone…it’s gone…until the next Sunday, of course, when we make a new batch. Come Sip and Sangria with us.
We often have a food truck on site from 12:00-4:00. This week it's Nino's Pizza and Italian.
THIS Sunday, the Northern Neck Orchestra will be hosting a concert in our Event Room from 2:00-3:30. This is a ticketed event, and you can buy tickets through their website or at the entrance. The winery will remain open to the public.
