Delaplane Cellars began in the late 1990's as a simple dream to create fine wine in Virginia. Fast-forward 12 years and the dream is a reality. Today, Delaplane Cellars is producing some of the finest wines in the state, thanks in large part to our growers who, like us, are passionately obsessed with quality.
All of our wines are made from authentic Virginia winegrapes. Our goal is to craft delicious single vineyard wines that reflect the unique terroir of each vineyard site. To accomplish this, our winemaking philosophy is simply that less is more. Less intervention by the winemaker results in more authentic flavor and more memorable wine in the bottle.
Delaplane Cellars is nestled on Ball Mountain overlooking the Rural Historic Crooked Run Valley. Our winery was designed to complement the architectural landscape of our agricultural community. One of the first things you will notice as you enter the tasting room is the breathtaking panoramic views. Our front doors as well as the tasting bar were crafted from several majestic black walnut trees that were removed during construction. You will enjoy 6+ pouring stations, a friendly knowledgeable staff and an open floor plan. We offer carefully crafted wines made only from 100% vinifera varietals grown in Virginia. Seating is available inside as well as on our terrace where you can enjoy your favorite bottle of wine while overlooking the vineyards valleys and miles of beautiful mountain range. Proud of our service men and women, we offer military discounts on all purchases.
Because we are a small boutique winery that focuses on creating great wines and a positive customer experience, we cannot accommodate groups over six, buses or limousines at any time. In addition, although we do allow picnics on the winery grounds we do not allow outside food in the tasting room. This is a smoke free farm and we ask that if you must smoke please do so in the designated at the top of the hill behind the winery. We also ask that animals remain outside the tasting room/terrace and on a leash at all times.
