Good Spirit Farm Winery: A Slice of Virginia Wine Country in Round Hill
Good Spirit Farm Winery is more than a destination; it is a story of passion, terroir, and the art of fine winemaking. Come, explore, and let the good spirits of Virginia’s wine country capture your heart.
Good Spirit Farm Winery spans 25 acres of prime vineyard land, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the area’s fertile soils and ideal climate. The vineyard boasts a diverse collection of grape varieties. The oldest vines, planted in 2003, include Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, which have since matured to produce consistently high-quality grapes year after year. More recent plantings of Petit Verdot, Viognier, and Merlot, dating back to 2010, have added depth and complexity to the winery’s offerings. The result is a dynamic vineyard landscape that produces a broad spectrum of flavors, making each wine distinctly unique.
The vineyards themselves are a labor of love overseen by the experienced hands of Vineyard Manager Samuel Lane. With over 30 years of expertise in the field, Lane’s commitment to sustainable practices and quality grape cultivation is evident in every bottle. His approach to vineyard management emphasizes biodiversity and a natural balance, which translates into wines that are both vibrant and true to their terroir.
Meet the Winemaker: A Reputation for Excellence
At the helm of the winemaking team is Eleanor Westwood, a respected name in the Virginia wine industry. Her reputation for crafting elegant, balanced wines has earned her accolades both locally and nationally. Westwood’s philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention, allowing the characteristics of each grape variety to shine through. This approach, combined with her innovative spirit, results in wines that not only reflect the character of the vineyard but also the unique microclimate of Round Hill.
