Naked Mountain Winery and Vineyards

Open: Year Round

The first winery on the tour was Naked Mountain - and it would consume conversation that day and for weeks and months to come. While tasting, Randy commented on the high quality of the wines and the beautiful view from the tasting bar. Nikki, still part of the Naked Mountain tasting staff, replied in a manner only she could, "Well, you know it's for sale." Meagan rolled her eyes at Randy, knowing him well, and abruptly said, "Forget about it - put it out of your mind. Let's enjoy this day," but a seed had been planted.

With the support of family and friends, and well wishes from the Harpers, on August 16th 2010, Randy and Meagan became the newest stewards of a great tradition and one of the most well known wineries in Virginia.

The first vines were planted on this site in 1976 by Bob and Phoebe Harper, who were led here by the theory, "If you can find a place peaches will grow, grapes will grow too." It started with four rows, but over the years grew to 6 acres producing over 6,000 cases annually.
