🍾 Exciting News! 🍾
We are thrilled to share that Emily Hodson, our Head Winemaker, has been honored with the 2025 Rich Smith Award of Excellence!
This prestigious award recognizes Emily’s passion, commitment, and collaboration in advancing the American grape and wine industry. From pioneering research with @vawrex to leading the charge in grapevine innovation, her impact is felt far beyond our vineyards.
“Emily is a rare leader who leverages science as a means to advance the industry,” said Donnell Brown, President of NGRA. “Her work developing the Winemakers Research Exchange has given her fellow Virginia winemakers a launchpad for experimentation and innovation. With it, they’ve lifted the state to the status of wine region to watch—and invest in—even by vintners in Bordeaux, as we saw this past summer. And the grapevine breeding work she has helped to spearhead will sustain the state’s wine industry long into the future. Emily’s legacy is already taking shape right before our eyes.”
Colleen Frei of Winegrape Growers of America added, “Emily’s engagement with others to foster relationships across the industry and her steadfast efforts to further the grape and wine community align with Rich Smith’s amazing legacy.”
Join us in raising a glass to Emily, an incredible leader, winemaker, and visionary who is shaping the future of Virginia wine!

INTRODUCING:
Love, Virginia 2022 Cape Blend
Notes of cedar, dark fruits, and a hint of smoke
33% Pinotage
33% Cabernet Franc
33% Merlot
100% estate grown
Cape blends are a popular red blend in South Africa. The Pinotage grape still shines, but its notable, sometimes intense, flavors are complimented or cushioned by other red grape varietals. Basically, it’s a way to add some razzle dazzle, but still put a red on the table that will please the entire crowd.
Every sip feels like an adventure with this blend. We can’t wait for you to try it! Available in the tasting room TODAY!

Y’all come on ❄️⛷️❄️⛷️❄️⛷️

SNOW, SNOW, and more SNOW!
This season has been a dream for snowmaking, and we’ve got 100% of our slopes open with a deep, pristine base. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or tubing, the conditions are absolutely spectacular!
Our hardworking snowmaking and grooming teams have been crushing it, ensuring top-tier snow that’s here to stay. Plus, with bitter cold temps giving way to more seasonal weather, it’s the perfect time to enjoy your favorite winter activities.
🎿 Plan your weekend now! Lift tickets and rentals sell out quickly—grab yours online to lock in your spot.
Winter at Wintergreen is the real deal. Tag your ski buddies and come experience it for yourself!
