Byrd Cellars

About

Three generations of our family work our vineyards and winery daily.  We planted our first grapevines in Goochland county 12 years ago.  We have 8 acres of vines, and more planned for the spring of 2018, consisting of  9 varieties of American, European, and Hybrid grapes.  Our grapes are grown at Byrd Cellars Vineyards, (located 3 miles East of the winery on Davis Mill Road).  We produce a robust selection 17 fine wines that are affordably priced from $11.40 to $18.99 and are the best priced wines in all of the state.  These wines range from dry to sweet and include a unique after dinner wine with natural chocolate notes, and a sweet aperitif-like wine produced using the ancient orange method (unique within the state).  Our 2017 production was 3,800 cases (45,000 bottles).  The subterranean winery has the capacity to produce 4,600 cases of wine and is maintained at a constant temperature of 58-60 degrees year round; air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter using a renewable energy source wood furnace.  You will often by greeted by the owners, the winemaker, and even our vineyard manager working in the Tasting room on weekends.  This is a great opportunity for you to engage us with your questions about our unique vineyard growing and winemaking techniques.
