Chatham Vineyards & Winery

Doug Menezes

We love this winery. We have been members for at least 5 years now and their wines are one of the best we've had in Virginia. The owners are wonderful and accommodating and so is everyone who works at the winery. It's located on a large farm in a very peaceful setting - sit out and gaze at the never ending corn fields while sipping on some amazing wine.

This a tiny but very attractive winery where one might not expect to find a winery—although the soil is rich and ancient. The 21 acres are hard at work producing a number of varieties from Chardonnay to Cabernets, although perhaps some in quantities small enough to require blending to produce marketable quantities. Sheila had visited quite some time ago, and told me she and her friend had found the Chardonnay to be exceptionally good in the flight, and they consequently had purchased several bottles that they have been very happy with. I purchased a bottle of “Church Creek Vintner’s Blend 2019,” although because I was driving and had a long way to go, I did not do any tasting. The tasting room is very pleasant, and there were many al fresco tables on the lawn, many of them occupied although it seemed a fairly hot day. The two attractive young sommeliers were very friendly, informative and welcoming, even giving me a very welcome bottle of cold water at my departure. There is a generous private residence on the estate, but if you visit Chatham Vineyards it is preferred that you drive a left turn as directed to the Winery itself, where you should find ample parking.

Great find on the way to our hotel. Six wines plus a dessert wine on the list, offering flights in actual glasses. Seems silly to say but in the times of covid it’s a refreshing to have something other than plastic shot glasses! I …
