Introducing the Early Mountain Wine Writer Fellowship.⁠
⁠
Since our founding in 2012 by Jean and Steve Case we have been guided by a simple belief: that Virginia can produce wines that stand alongside the finest in the world.⁠
⁠
Over the past decade, we have helped elevate Virginia wine through thoughtful hospitality, exceptional wines, and a deep commitment to quality.⁠
⁠
The Early Mountain Vineyards Wine Writer Fellowship was created in that spirit.⁠
⁠
Designed for emerging and established writers, the Fellowship invites one selected Fellow to immerse themselves in Virginia wine country during harvest—exploring the people, places, and stories shaping one of America's most exciting wine regions.⁠
⁠
The selected Fellow will receive:⁠
• A five-day residency at Early Mountain Vineyards⁠
• Hands-on harvest experience alongside our winemaking team⁠
• Visits to Virginia wineries⁠
• Travel, lodging, and meals⁠
• VIP access to Taste of Virginia⁠
• A $5,000 unrestricted stipend to support future reporting and writing projects⁠
⁠
Applications are now open through July 5, 2026.⁠

Walk-ins welcome for groups of 1–6. Reservations available for parties of 7–14.

Seasonally on Saturdays and Sundays
Weather permitting | 11:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Opening weekend is always a favorite. Join us starting May 16.

Spring in Virginia wine country invites us to slow down and enjoy the experience.⁠
⁠
Long afternoons on the patio. A table set with Chef Tim Moore’s seasonal menus. Evenings that stretch a little longer with extended Friday hours.⁠
⁠
From winemaker dinners to immersive tastings, each visit offers something different. For something unexpected, our Aromas of Wine & Perfume experience brings scent and terroir together—guests will create a signature fragrance to take home, then explore wines through a new sensory lens.⁠
⁠
If you’re celebrating Mother’s Day, this a beautiful way to spend time together. ⁠
⁠
We hope you will join us this spring at Early Mountain.

Still thinking about this weekend. Our Taste of Virginia Grand Tasting brought together an incredible group of friends, partners, and producers—and the energy spoke for itself.

Thoughtful wines, standout dishes, and a shared pride in what Virginia continues to build. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it what it was.

We’re already looking forward to the next one. ❤️🍷

Our new favorite pairing. ✨
Petit Manseng Demi-Sec, from a very limited production, paired with our Carrot Cake—layered with whipped cream cheese, candied pecan, pink peppercorn, and a spiced carrot chip.

A touch of sweetness, balanced by natural acidity, gives the wine a natural ease at the table this spring.

Available starting this weekend in the tasting room and online. Limit one bottle per person online.

From farm to table by afternoon, everything begins with the highest quality ingredients. Our approach is rooted in seasonality, thoughtful sourcing, and a deep respect for the land, including composting practices that return to the soil. 🌎🍷

Each visit offers something new. This spring, we invite you to stay a little longer with extended hours every Friday.

Join us for the next one! 🥂
