Join us for an exclusive Meet the Maker event with winemaker and owner, David Vermillion, from Jump Mountain Vineyards! David will tell about the winery’s history, and the winemaking process, and let guests try the newest release of the Livia wine, a favorite of ours!
In 2006, Mary Hughes and David Vermillion purchased a 32-acre farm for the purpose of growing grapes. They chose this Shenandoah Valley location specifically because of its suitability for growing grapes: limestone-based soils, low humidity and rainfall, and reliable daily breezes as well as the slopes and elevation. The ripening grapes also benefit from cool night-time temperatures in August and September, which permit sugar to increase without loss of the acidity that provides the necessary structure and balance found in fine wine.
This is a free event and we kindly ask that you RSVP. Cheers!
