Hampton Roads Vineyard & Winery is situated in the beautiful rural area of Elberon, Virginia, just south of Surry and across the James River from Jamestown. Located at White Oak Farm where Harry Spratley first raised horses in 1898 for the New York City carriage trade, it is now where grapes are grown, wines are made, Red Angus cattle are raised, and is home to the World's Tallest Goat Tower.
White Oak Farm is the home of Hampton Roads Winery and White Oak Stock Farm where red Angus cattle are raised. Beef cuts may be purchased at the Winery, as well ordering on-line for delivery at the many farmers markets we attend.

Services
Get us talking about the creation of Hampton Roads Winery and you will need a glass of wine ( a full bottle if you are hearing the long version!) Back about 16 years ago, Diane and I were discussing our life once we retired. We talked about all the typical things, but in the end it came down to 2 choices: either sail around the world for the rest of our lives, or set up a vineyard-winery.
We can accomondate small groups of 10 or less and still maintain distancing guidelines both inside and out. With ample seating, multiple rooms, and an outside patio ( weather permitting ), you can still get away, enjoy our wines by the glass or the pitcher, relax with friends, and of course say hi to the goats.
Membership policies: Wine packages will be ready for pick-up in January, April, July, and November; we now can make shipments, or if you prefer, pick up at any one of the Farmers Markets we regularly attend (see Farmers Markets under the Event tab). Prior to each pick-up date, you will receive an email notification; your credit card will be billed automatically on the pick-up date.
Every other Wednesday is Corn Hole Night at the winery with light foods available, along with wine & cider. Our Slushies are back! Go on our walking tour, follow the map and find the 12 stations while learning about the farm and the winery. Kid & dog friendly. Maintain social distancing and have a great walk.
We started our blog years ago when we only had a vineyard. Since then, it has talked about our many challenges and successes, our anticipation for the coming year and the harvests that finished the season. Now that we have an established winery and a farm, it has expanded to include our experiences in the new tasting room, as well as our many animals.

I was in the mood to try something different and purchased a bottle of the Hog Island Sweet White at our local grocery store. I love to support local wineries. This wine is TERRIBLE! It smells and tastes almost like a chemical. I see now in the reviews that someone mentioned one of the wines tasted like vinegar. This must be the one they were describing. I cant even finish the bottle. Disappointing, definitely wont be visiting this winery.

Very nice owners, enjoyed the goats playing and the one of a kind tower that they live in. Hampton roads has a good Cab Sauv and wine slushy's from what I remember... It's been a while since we visited. They have plenty of room for large parties inside and out and a cool merchandise store near the tasting bar. Thanks for a good time HR!!!
