Fincastle Vineyard and Winery

Our first stop was meant to be the farthest from Roanoke, but because of Dick Cheney's passing through the area, rt 220 was blocked at rt 81 for some time so we detoured to Fincastle Vineyard & Winery. They are easy to get to, a short distance off route 11 closer to Trouteville than Fincastle. This is a typical Virginia family operated winery. The very quaint tasting room was added onto their farm house to accommodate their growing wine business. The tasting room has stone exterior and you enter under a wonderful arbor entryway after passing a coy pond. Inside there is a large stone fireplace and small gift shop integrated into the tasting room. The wines were fine, again- I'll avoid critiquing as I only know what our palates prefer. The wine winemaker is the owner's son and he's doing a fine job. We are told that he built the winery building with his own hands. We left with some wine and a desire for more. they can be reached at 540-591-9000 or www.fincastlewine.com
