About us
History
Wine has a long and robust history tying cultures around the world to the land they cultivate while enriching the daily lives of all who experience its deliciousness. At Droumavalla Farm, we are continuing this luxurious tradition of farming with the highest standards and practices in our vineyard. Our estate vineyard is 8 acres planted primarily to Bordeaux varietals on lush clay and loam soils with moderate relative elevation. Going into our 12th vintage from the estate, we are excited to see the complexities the fruit presents each year, now that they are over a decade old. In the efforts of illuminating our guests’ exploration of wines from around the world, we do not shy away from pouring wines created in multiple international and domestic wine regions.
Our Philosophy
Virginia’s climate and soil types present their own unique challenges and victories which we do our best to accentuate each vintage. Leaning more towards an organic harmony with nature, we want the cleanest and most savory fruit possible to develop into wine in your glass. Bird boxes surround the vineyard to encourage native bird populations to keep malicious insects at bay. Using mostly natural nutrients in our spray programs develops healthier vines able to resist detrimental infections in the vineyard. This allows us to use minimal (if any) chemicals in the vineyard.
