This amazing place and the owner absolutely...

This amazing place and the owner absolutely made our afternoon. Must visit. My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way home to DC, tasted all the wines, and had a glass each. The owner was so incredibly nice and told us about the winery and how they keep the shop so hip and cool. He also gave us a sample of his home collected honey and the slushy wine they had (I bought some of the slushy wine mix). This place is awesome and beautiful. I know it's really tough to keep a winery open in rural VA, and props to them for standing their ground and keeping this amazing place open.

This was one of the prettiest wineries...

This was one of the prettiest wineries I've been to in Virginia. Very small but quaint and excellent view. Wine tasting was quite fun thanks to our host, Jason. Owner Paul gave my group a wonderfully entertaining tour and then we sat out on their patio and ate our boxed lunches. The owners obviously love their job and the product shows it. Great Pinot Gris was my favorite.

A wonderful selection of wine! I usually tend to stick with Cabernets but all their selection of whites were on point and I left with my first bottle of white wine in some time. I also loved that their sweets were not overly sweet. Coming from Florida where most sweet wines are overly sweet these were the most sublime sweet wines I've tried. Highly recommended if you are driving through the area. Divine! Thanks for being so wonderful!

An awesome find in the Wytheville area....

An awesome find in the Wytheville area. We stopped in randomly after seeing the sign in the interstate and we've been back half a dozen times. The small winery produces some excellent flavors, my favorite is the Chambourcin.

About Winery and Wines

Paul and Brenda (Humphrey) Hric moved home to the Southwest Virginia mountains in 2005 to Brenda’s family homeplace. West Wind Farm is the current incarnation of what started as Mount Zephyr in the mid-19th century. The Humphrey family came to own the farm in 1914 and Brenda and Paul were able to keep it in the family by establishing West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery. (Just in case you’re wondering, Zephyr means “west wind”.) The grapevines were planted in the spring of 2003 and the first wine made here was in the fall of 2005. Currently there are five acres of grapes being cultivated on the farm. This allows Paul to exercise the growing skills that were once showcased at Country Meadows Nursery and Greenhouses in Greensboro, North Carolina. He and Brenda owned the successful garden center until 1999. wineryfront.jpgDavid Manley and Jason Manley, nephews, got on board from the beginning and helped bring about what is now West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery. Jason returned to the mountains of Southwest Virginia after living in Charlottesville and in Greensboro, North Carolina. He makes your visit enjoyable whether he’s behind the bar, keeping the place looking great, or finding useful, tasty, and beautiful items to sell. He makes our lives more pleasant with his hard work in the vineyard and all around the winery. David lived in Charlottesville and in both Carolinas for ten years before returning to his roots. He was instrumental in the design, launch, and operations of West Wind Farm for the first several years. Recently, David went to work in economic development and leads the Joint IDA of Wythe County, VA. Don't worry - he still shows up to lend a hand once in a while!
