- Abingdon Vineyard and Winery / Bob Carlson
Spot #15
Produces 22 different wines primarily from locally grown Grapes. Buy and taste wines from 10-6, Tuesdays thru Saturday and 12-6 on Sundays. We bring 12 varieties to the Tuesday and Saturday market. Call us and we will gladly bring any of our wines to the next market.
We moved to Abingdon in 1996. Soon after arriving 30 acres directly beside our property was placed for purchase by auction.
In the 80’s the Virginia Legislature had set a firm foundation for the Virginia wine industry by funding the staffing of a Chair of Enology and a Chair of Viticulture and their staffs at Virginia Tech to support the nascent wine industry. The legislature also passed a farm winery statute giving farm wineries special privileges within the state liquor laws.
Bruce Zoecklin and Tony Wolf were tasked with giving seminars tutoring new entrants. They were extremely successful. The number of wineries leapt from 20 to 300 in 25 years and grapes were Virginia’s most rapidly growing agricultural crop.
After attending several seminars Janet and I decided grapes were just the crop for our newly acquired 30 acres. Littlefield Logging cut down the trees, Frank Stoffel and his son pulled out the stumps and the whole McConnel family, from 8 to 50 years old, came out to plant grass one weekend. They even left an arm from their disk to memorialize their work. . .
The first year,1998, we planted 25 plants of each of 13 different varieties to see what would grow well in our Highlands Area. The second year we jumped the gun a little and planted larger quantities of Cabernet Franc, Traminette, Riesling and Chardonel. Rick became Master hole digger, Janet, on her knees, the precision plant placer, Bob, hole filler and Cheryl, water lady. In three Springs we had 6,000 vines breaking bud and come late June being devoured by Japanese Beatles. These wonders are continued to this day except Kevin, Todd, Monroe and Mathew have taken over managing the vines. We now grow 13 different varieties of grapes including two Norton/ Cabernet Sauvignon crosses called Crimson Cabernet and Cabernet Dore’. The first a red grape and the second a white grape. We expect to harvest commercial quantities of these grapes this fall.
We opened the winery in 2001. Cheryl, Rick, Janet and Bob started sharing behind the tasting bar. Over the years Debbie and Teresa have each taken their turns at serving the wines we that we produce.
Looking back it has been a wonderful journey. We hope our visitors enjoy the fruits of our labor. The staff continues to change and the results of their efforts continues to improve. We all hope you enjoyed the visit.
The Abingdon Winery Family.
