Winemaker’s Incubator at Walsh Family Wine
We are pleased to have recently launched the Winemaker’s Incubator at Walsh Family Wine, a project which we began cultivating nearly five years ago in hopes of ushering in a new and exciting generation of Virginia producers focused on interesting and authentic Virginia wines.
The Winemaker’s Incubator is a facility where burgeoning winemaker’s can create and launch their own brands utilizing the equipment, space, and expertise of the WFW team. With so many talented individuals in our industry, and so many wonderful vineyard sites, our hope is to facilitate the creation and growth of interesting, expressive, and delicious Virginia wines.
“When Walsh Family Wine began, all we had was a vineyard with great potential. We knew that was the most important starting point. We were fortunate to make our first vintages in some of the best wineries in the state, but even then, as we were growing, we struggled to find a home for our winemaking.
When we opened our tasting room and production facility, it was important to us to act as a creative space for other winemakers – an “incubator” for burgeoning wineries. We started with our Bar Takeovers, which have been wonderful, and grew to become home to a number of exciting and delicious projects – Quartzwood Farm, Guide Wines, Boden Young, Clever Beast, Florilegium, and more on the horizon.”
