Customer Awareness - Rising Gas Prices

Keswick Vineyards is deeply grateful for our continued and growing customer base. We understand that rising gasoline prices have affected the cost of everything from produce to airline tickets, and many people are having to strategize to cut back on their driving. So we offer this reminder to our customers - while our tasting room is open seven days a week and we welcome any and all visitors, we also conveniently offer all of our wines for purchase online. Simply click here to view our list of available wines and leave the driving, or rather the delivery, to us.

Keswick Vineyards, located at Edgewood, is a gracious Virginia estate encompassing 400 rolling acres of farm and woodland rich in history. The land was part of the original 1727 Nicholas Meriwether Crown Grant that encompassed nearly 18,000 acres on the east side of the Southwest Mountains. More »
