Spring Creek Wine Cellar

Spring Creek Wine Cellar is located on Canongate Angus Farm in rural Prince Edward County in Virginia‘s heartland. Hayfields dot the country side and some tobacco fields have given rise to vineyards. Canongate has been a working cattle farm for more than 40 years and cattle still graze in the pastures. In the spring and fall, lively newborn calves can be seen cavorting over the meadow. Spring Creek babbles along the back of the farm, cascading together with Morrison’s Branch in the northeast corner where cattle share the “watering hole” with deer, fox and raccoons.

The initial planting of vinifera and hybrid grapes in Canongate Meadows Vineyard was done in Spring of 2002 . These consisted of Cayuga, Seyval, Vidal Blanc, J. Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Chardonnel, Traminette, Chambourcin, and Chancellor were planted in 2003. Marechal Foch was planted in 2006 and additional plantings of hybrids are planned for 2007, producing a total of 3 acres of grapes.

Our unfiltered, pure wines are made of hand-picked grapes, harvested at the optimum time. Each cluster is sorted and inspected to remove debris and imperfect grapes. Only quality grapes are used to produce our quality wines. 

To preserve the rural landscape, the winery is housed in the basement of the Southern Colonial home. There a tank room, lab, storage area and tasting room are all neatly tucked under ground level.

Our hours of operation are Sat and Sun  from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and other times by appointment.

The winery entrance is one half  mile on the left.  Tasting Room is located in the back. We can be reached at (434) 248-6981.   E-mail info@springcreekwinecellar.com
