Virginia does not offer ideal climate for organic viticulture. It's the entire east coast really. There is just too much rain and that makes the use of fungicides a routine part of the winegrowing process. Nevertheless, there is still a pair of organic vineyards in the state and one of these is...
Loving Cup Vineyard & Winery
Organic vineyard with natural sparkling wines
Best known for: Certified organic vineyard and unique sparkling varieties
Loving Cup Vineyard & Winery, located in North Garden, Virginia, stands out as the state's only certified-organic vineyard and winery.
Nestled in the scenic Monticello AVA, the winery is celebrated for its commitment to organic viticulture and innovative winemaking techniques.
