The Barn at 678 Vineyard
October 26, 2023. Near where Route 20 jogs briefly on Route 33 in Barboursville, you will find the Barn at 678 Vineyard, a new winery located on Route 678 a few yards from the turn for the famous Barboursville Vineyard. Opened in June 2022, the Barn is the work of Rick and Lorrie Bryant. The tasting room is cozy and unfinished and may feel a bit cramped in the winter. The side porch is better - more relaxed with the vines standing just a few steps away beginning to turn a deep Autumn red. Outside food is welcome. Check their website for the food truck schedule. We spoke with Rick Bryant who comes to this enterprise from his work in landscaping (according to the Barn website). Interestingly, Rick didn’t say anything about landscaping. He told us that he is also a pathologist and medical examiner. Talk about work that cries out for a change of pace to be outside in the vines and managing a wine business! The Bryant’s have some grapes under vine at the Barboursvi
