Located in Roanoke, the Vineyard has similar growing conditions to those you can find in the Rhone Valley of France. They produce world-class wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and more on 21 acres. Valhalla was the first vineyard outside of California to produce Alicante Bouschet, and among the first in Virginia to grow Syrah.
One of the unique features of Valhalla is the barrel cave. During the cave's excavation, a Buddha statue was found – and he still watches over the vineyard today. The barrel cave runs 60 feet underground, and maintains the perfect temperature at which to age award-winning wines. Over 300 barrels line the cave walls.
If you are looking for a place to hold an unforgettable wedding, look no further. The Cellar Door, Valhalla’s mountain-top chalet, is an ideal and memorable location for weddings and receptions. The Cellar Door has 2,800 square feet of indoor space, with a wine bar and fireplace. There is also a 1,600 square foot outdoor stone patio, with a fireplace and partial covering, for a total of 4,400 square feet. The winery can accommodate up to 150 guests.
Valhalla Vineyards has produced some wonderful wines. In their first year of bringing their wine to market, they garnered the coveted Governor’s Cup for their 1998 Syrah. The accolades didn’t stop there! The wines of Valhalla have won over 100 national and international awards, and they have been featured in Wine Spectator and Decanter magazines.
There are several ways to enjoy the bounty of Valhalla Vineyards. You can join the Wine Club, and receive wine delivered to your door four times a year. You can also enjoy the special Wine Maker Dinner Series, with Chef Jason Pollard.
