“2020 we partnered with a winery out of Roxboro, NJ that grew the same grapes we grow… put our recipes together and then began bottling our wines and we were able to open two and a half years early. “We opened on Juneteenth, 2020.”
“We’re three years into our plan, putting in our stage for musicians, bathrooms, cabanas, wedding events, family reunions, sip and paint, sip and puff, and our first annual biking event,”
By year four we’re expecting our winery in, but are in the middle of state processing .” Seven Springs expect their first harvest of muscadines and they planted 13 varieties including table and market grapes. (Photo by Brian B Price /for The Washington Post)
