Amrhein Wine Cellars offers Virginia-style wines with a German influence offering unique layers of fruit full of rich aroma. All of their distinctive wines are born from the Blue Ridge Mountain Estate-Grown vineyards in Virginia.

Try Amrhein’s signature Petit Verdot, a 2014 Virginia Governor’s Cup winner. It is a smooth, rich wine with dark plum flavors underlain by notes of cherry, blackberry, spice and subtle oak nuances. Or enjoy Aglianico, another award-winner made from an ancient Greek grape, translated into a medium bodied wine, displaying berry and plum flavors with a subtle undertone of tobacco in a light French oak structure. Whatever your choice, you are sure to enjoy your visit.

The Amrhein setting is also appropriate for weddings, receptions, special events and corporate gatherings. The winery furnishes all catering needs and set-ups.
