Jacey Vineyards

Jacey Vineyards in Wicomico Church, Virginia, pairs in-house winemaking with a waterfront setting on Mill Creek, just off the Chesapeake Bay. The 175-acre property combines woods, vines and water views, with arrival possible by land or boat. It is part of the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail, but the creekside location gives it a reason to linger beyond the next tasting stop. The vineyard’s first plantings date to 2004, with Vidal Blanc, Petit Verdot and Zinfandel; additional varieties include Albariño, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. All wine production takes place in-house.

Saturday afternoons are the regular visiting window, with tastings and wine by the glass or bottle from noon to 5 p.m. Charcuterie plates and pizzas give a visit more substance than a quick flight, while craft beer offers an alternative for companions who prefer it. Private tastings are available by appointment. Weather can affect opening, so the winery’s Facebook page is the practical checkpoint before a drive—or a boat trip—to the property.
