Valerie Hill Vineyard and Winery
October 20, 2022. Only about five miles from James Charles winery we came to our next stop on this Shenandoah wine trip. This was the beautiful manor house of Valerie Hill Vineyard and Winery, Stephens City, Frederick County. Built in 1807, the stately Federal style home house sits on a hillock by a circular drive. Inside is split in small cozy rooms as you’d expect of a house of that period. There is seating out on the back porch and eight tables under umbrellas in back on the patio. Heaters are available in the cooler months. The Virginia Wine Pass is not accepted. Outside food is allowed. Shawn and Kelly Steffey and Tyler and Tracey Newsome bought the property in 2011 and opened for business in 2012. The property is for sale again for $1.290 Million. The farm is around 18 acres, of which six acres are in grapes. From these and other grapes grown in the Shenandoah Valley, they produce around 2,500 cases of wine per year. Valerie Hill ha
