Located in the western Shenandoah Valley, Bluestone Vineyard offers impressive views of the mountains and surrounding farmland. Enjoy the view of our hillside vineyard from our tasting room as you taste our wines and experience a little of the Valley's atmosphere and friendliness. We currently offer 26 wines including sweets, whites, reds, and reserves and a hard cider. 

Discover the charm of Virginia's apple wine and hard cider scene with visits to four renowned wineries and cideries. Learn about their unique offerings, stunning orchards, and the regions they call home.

We produce handcrafted Hard Cider from apples predominantly grown in the Shenandoah Valley. Each batch we make is dependent upon Mother Nature and not made from apple concentrate. The care we take in the making them is apparent when customers drink the ciders

Our approach to cidermaking is straightforward. Use local Virginia apples, experiment, learn by doing, reading, and engaging with the beer, cider, and winemaking communities. Keep it fresh; keep it funky. Our cidery is based in Free Union, just outside of Charlottesville, we are in the heart of apple country at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
