A small production, boutique winery owned and operated by a devoted husband and wife team. Granite Heights has 12 acres of vines set in a pastoral setting off Opal Road, south of Warrenton, on a 168-acre farm. Our tasting room is in a 19th-century farmhouse with intimate “sit down” tastings which offers an unhurried and friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy our award-winning wines.

Granite Heights winery is a state-of-the-art production facility that specializes in small batch production of high-quality wines (award-winning Bordeaux style reds, 100% Red Varietals, Petit Manseng, Chardonnay, and port-style wines). Most of the vines are French certified ENTAV clones planted in high-density fashion and our wines are produced on site. We have already been recognized by the Washington Post and other wine reviewers for our high-quality wines.

We focus only on the wines and let the wines speak for themselves.

Come experience the magic of Upper Shirley Vineyards, a one-of-a-kind estate, winery, restaurant and wedding venue perched above one of the most scenic bends on the James River. Here in Tidewater Virginia the hours unspool at a more gracious pace. Senses awaken, and stress melts away, leaving you space for more meaningful connections with friends and family.

30 minutes from downtown Richmond, and 35 minutes from Williamsburg, located just off Route 5 and the Capital Bike Trail, Upper Shirley Vineyards is ensconced in a rural wonderland. The estate boasts history and scenic beauty on an epic scale and an embarrassment of culinary riches—bottomland produce, fresh-caught seafood—and world-class wines made from our own estate-grown grapes.
