Winemaking Services

We offer a range of winemaking + related support services tailored by client type.

From independent winemakers seeking a production facility to house and grow their project, to brand owners seeking full service custom crush support from our seasoned team, to landowners looking to make the dream of planting a vineyard a reality, we are building a vibrant and diverse community of makers united under our roof by a common passion for Virginia wine.

For Winemakers

Our Winemaker Service option is designed for projects that already have a winemaker who can guide production vision and decision making. This service is meant to support these winemakers with physical production capability executed by our experienced cellar team.

Full Service

Our Full Service Custom Crush option is designed for projects that do not already have their own winemaker. This is a full turnkey production option that allows you to engage our seasoned CWC team to guide your project each step of the way, crush pad to bottle.

à la CARTE

A range of additional à la carte services are available to all clients. These include: bottling and filtration, low impact vineyard development and management services, business and brand consultation, laboratory analysis, bulk and bottled wine storage, and more.

Who’s Under Our Roof

12 Ridges Vineyard

Situated at 3,300 feet on Virginia’s Blue Ridge Parkway, 12 Ridges is one of the highest altitude vineyard in the state. Its cool temperatures, low humidity, and permeable stony soil low in clay, offer an extraordinary opportunity for high quality grape growing.

Love Echo

Founded by Brooklyn Based sommelier and wine educator, Jahdé Marley, Love Echo emerged from CWC’s innagural incubator corhort in 2023 with two releases: an oxidative vidal blanc + petit manseng, and a pet-nat white blend of cayuga, vidal blanc, and petit manseng infused during fermentation with foraged paw paws.

Lightwell Survey

Since 2015, Lightwell Survey has been shining a new light on the traditional wine-scape. Their small batches of lively reds, dense whites and unique combinations of the two come with no preconceived descriptions or traditional aspirations. They aim for a bullseye yet prefer to land slightly off center.

7 Lady Vineyards

Located on 55 acres at the Dover Hall estate in Manakin-Sabot, VA, 7 Lady is the brainchild of two long-time friends and business partners who share the same passion for family, entrepreneurship, genuine hospitality, and premium wines. The project’s name is an homage to the seven beautiful ladies who embody the heartbeat of the Hornik-Ottaviano partnership.

Star Party Winery

Star Party prides itself in producing low-intervention, natural wines. With an inaugural vintage in 2021, they source grapes primarily from the Shenandoah Valley AVA and strive to allow their wines to be the purest expression of terroir that each vintage offers. The team is committed to reducing environmental impacts throughout the winemaking process so that generations to come can enjoy quality wine under starry skies.
