BlackStock produces hand-crafted complex wines that cater to the serious enthusiast, but with a sense of balance that is both easily approachable and enjoys wide appeal. Their goal in the tasting room is to provide an educational experience for those with a passion to learn more about wine, and in a very relaxed, down-to-earth environment. Enjoy a glass of port and the warm atmosphere of the Appalachian-style lodge with its unique three-sided “stovepipe” fireplace and expansive window views of the Blue Ridge. Or enjoy the cool summer breezes and a glass of White Merlot on the 2,000 square-foot covered deck. BlackStock offers deli selections daily, with fresh baked goods and live music often featured on weekends. The winery specializes in private events from formal weddings of up to 200, to informal luncheons on the vineyard deck. BlackStock also offers a unique weekday meeting environment for corporate retreats with optional team-building programs. The stone encased cellar provides another unique venue for a more intimate affair, accented by a waterfall feature that naturally humidifies over a hundred barrels. All BlackStock wines are currently made exclusively from estate grown grapes produced from the winery property. The Harris family believes that wine is made in the vineyard, and their wines represent specific field selections grown to fulfill their particular niche and style. While the cellar practices are meticulous and detail-oriented, the emphasis is on gentle handling and minimal intervention. The real differences are derived from how the wine grapes are managed in the vineyard. For More Information On BlackStock Vineyards
