Peaks of Otter wines are reminiscent of “Grandmas or Great-Grandma’s” wines, those old-fashioned wines made from a variety of fruits. A venture into vegetables using chili peppers, to make “Kiss The Devil” wine and blend with apple wine to make “Chili Dawg” wine, (this Dawg will bite)has been so successful that “Chili Dawg” is now a top selling wine. “Fruit of the Farm” wines have changed Virginia’s tasting buds. You will find Grandson Jordon and wife Lindsey at many festivals along with Grandson Josh, Christy and friends Wayne and Andy. All of these help in the winery and on the farm..
Many of the wines are made from Danny’s grandmother’s recipes and the fruits or berries are fermented in apple juice and require less sugar to turn the fruit into wine. They have berries, cherries, peaches, plums nectarines and apples u-pic or u-select in season. All these fruits are made into award winning wines plus more like The “Salty Frog”, “Puff”, “Café Vino’, “Vino De Mint” and “Vino Colada”
Children and adults love visiting the farm to picnic, pick fruit or visit the farm animals. You can enjoy even more animals at the annual Horse and Hound Wine Festival, held the 2nd Saturday in July. Children, adults and dogs love it.
At this time more than 30 wines are produced with our newest wines fermented in apple juice being “Pumpkin Pie”, Chocolate Cherry Bomb and Pomegranate
There is a vacation rental house, Elmo’s Rest, in the middle of the farm where you can rest for a week and remember a lifetime. These many things and gracious hosts make this winery uniquely suited to family visits and it is only 7 miles to the National DDay Memorial.
The best part is enabling this family farm established in 1918 to continue into the sixth generation preserving farm land, working together, and having a business that preserves the environment and provides the community with opportunity to enjoy the rural life.
Open noon to 5pm daily, April thru December and weekends January thru March.
