Sip, Savor, and Explore: The Best Vineyards in Rockingham County
If you're looking to explore some of the finest vineyards in Rockingham County, you're in for a treat! From award-winning wines to charming atmospheres and picturesque settings, the area offers a diverse range of wineries that cater to every taste and occasion. Here are five top-notch wineries in Rockingham County that you absolutely can't miss!
1. Bluestone Vineyard
Nationally recognized, award-winning, and incredibly delicious are just a couple of the phrases we could use to describe Bluestone Vineyard’s wine. The vineyard itself offers a laid-back atmosphere with some impressive bites to pair with your wine selections. If you are a big fan, you can even join their press club, which gives exclusive access to member-only events, a 10% discount on all wine purchases, and more.
2. Brix & Columns Vineyard
For a more formal affair, Brix & Columns Vineyard is the way to go. The vineyard is known for their Jeffersonian estate, The Columns at Six Penny Farm, and their adorable doggie mascot Wyatt, who can be seen roaming the grounds and the labels of certain in-house bottles. Their tables are first come, first serve, so we recommend a reservation to ensure the best experience possible.

3. CrossKeys Vineyards
Located in the gorgeous Shenandoah Mountains lies perhaps one of the most luxurious wine experiences in Rockingham County. Their Tuscan-style villa and picturesque scenery make CrossKeys one of the most popular wedding venues in the area, providing bridal suites, in-house catering, and, of course, wine! If you aren’t planning a wedding anytime soon, don’t worry, CrossKeys Vineyards still provides a uniquely indulgent experience with their tasting room (open daily!) and bistro.
4. Marceline Vineyards
A gorgeous, rustic barn located in Mt. Crawford, and it has an Airbnb?! What’s not to love? The Log Home Loft rests just above the vineyard and can fit six people comfortably, making it perfect for bachelorette parties, girls’ trips, and family getaways. Stop by on the weekends to catch live music during the afternoons. It’s the perfect mix of good scenery and good vibes.
5. Purple WOLF Vineyards
Part of the ever-popular White Oak Lavender Farm, Purple WOLF offers lavender-infused wines, making it the perfect way to spend a sunny spring afternoon. Bring a picnic basket and enjoy the wafting scent of lavender stems as you sample from any of their wine and beer flights. It’s an experience that you won’t soon forget.
