12 Ridges Vineyard is one of Virginia’s newest wineries and holds the unique distinction of being the highest-elevation vineyard in Virginia. Perched along the Blue Ridge Mountains, this remarkable destination offers 360-degree panoramic views, with sweeping layers of mountains in nearly every direction—truly some of the most spectacular scenery in the region.
Guests can relax on the expansive outdoor patio, which is both spacious and comfortable, making it ideal for lingering over a glass of wine. The vineyard frequently hosts live music and on-site catering, adding to its appeal as both a stand-alone destination and a memorable stop on a multi-vineyard tour in Virginia.
One of the highlights of visiting 12 Ridges Vineyard is the journey itself. Located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, the drive to and from the vineyard is exceptionally scenic, especially in spring and summer when the landscape comes alive.
