Elk Island Winery

Elk Island Winery

Beautiful Winery Along the James River

Elk Island Winery is named for the 1300 acre island in the James River, originally part of Thomas Jefferson’s Elk Hill farm, adjacent to our farm.

Our passion for rural life, agriculture and our love of wine resulted in the planting of our 4 acre vineyard and Elk Island winery.

Our farm, Lower Byrd Farm, is situated at the confluence of Byrd Creek and the James River and grows row crop grains.

Our vineyard is planted in Norton, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc and small plantings of many white vinifera.

    Winery Review: Paradise Springs

    When I am in the mood for good wine but not in the mood to drive, Paradise Springs is my answer. Not only is it close to DC (it's actually the closest winery to DC), but the wines are extraordinary! In fact, five of their wines won gold...
