Located near Route 28 in Nokesville, Prince William County, an hour southwest of Washington. Nokesville Winery opened in 2023 and is a small family-owned and operated farm winery and three-acre vineyard located in the heart of Nokesville. Owners Tara and Dustin Miner manage the show, with Dustin having trained at Chrysalis Vineyards in Loudoun County (outside of his Prince William firefighter job). The winery is focused on soil-to-bottle production.
Wine. Tier III. Nokesville’s new vineyard currently grows six vine varieties: Chambourcin, Tannat, Sangiovese, Cayuga, Pinot Gris, and Albariño. Wine is now being made from grapes sourced elsewhere in Virginia, including all these varietals and the Virginia-native Norton. There is a sparkling white and a pair of red blends, and for a small and newly established winery, Nokesville offers a wide range of drinking options.
Setting. Nokesville focuses on its small batch wines, and not on creating views or an event destination. The winery is in a converted shed, where one can take a private winery tour ($50) and tasting experience with the owner or winemaker. Kid and pet friendly. The winery is open only on weekends (unless by appointment), but Nokesville’s wines can also be picked up locally at Aden Grocery, Messick’s Farm Market, or Nokesville Meats.
