Stinson Vineyards
July 8, 2022. You find Stinson Vineyards on a busy corner in the town of White Hall near Crozet. The winery sits several yards from where we bottomed out our car on last year’s wine trip to the Monticello AVA. Glad we came back! Driving up through the vines, you come to a utilitarian, unassuming production facility and tasting room. You know that the focus here is on wine and not fancy weddings or corporate events. There is really no extra space. The tasting room and adjoining production area were designed by owner, Scott Stinson, and opened in 2011. The winemaker is his daughter, Rachel Stinson Vrooman. The property features mostly outside seating right up on the vines. We saw the great Green Eggs that signal places for family barbecues. Jessica Weisman is the tasting room manager. Thanks for her insights on our visit. Pets and families are welcome. Outside food is allowed. Stinson does not participate in the Virginia Wine Pass. There are seven acres fea
