The Williamsburg Winery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Williamsburg Winery is Virginia's largest winery with an annual production of some 60,000 cases. With approximately 100 wineries in Virginia, the Williamsburg Winery accounts for almost one-quarter of all wine production in Virginia.
The Williamsburg Winery was established in 1985 by the Duffeler family. The first wine produced, Governor’s White, was released in 1988 and won a Gold Medal within two weeks[citation needed]. Today, Governor’s White is the most popular wine made at the winery.
The 50+ acres of vineyards which surround the winery offer a backdrop to the Old World-style village where the winery is located. Most of the wines have historical references listed on the back of each bottle. For example, Governor’s White was named after Governor Berkeley, Virginia’s first governor.
Tours of the facility and wine tastings are held daily by professionally trained staff members.
