Chrysalis Vineyards

One of finest estate wineries on the east coast, Chrysalis Vineyards has established a series of superlative vineyards rolling across more than 71 acres in the foothills of the Northern Blue Ridge & Bull Run Mountains, in Loudoun County's Middleburg, VA. They specialize in alternative varieties and are most excited about Virginia's own native grape, Norton, The Real American Grape!® This heirloom gem consistently produces premium quality red wines of great character and intensity, and being a native plant it is highly disease-resistant, able to be cultivated with minimal environmental impact. Throughout the 1800's, and up until Prohibition, Norton was recognized internationally for its distinctive robust reds with overtones of berry and pitted fruits. Building on its resurgence in popularity, Chrysalis Vineyards is committed to restoring Norton to its rightful position of prominence among fine wines. Presently, they have the largest planting in the world of this American treasure.
