Our Founding Farmers Proprietary line of Beverages is growing! Introducing Virginia Vines Rosé. A lovely, light rosé handcrafted in Madison, VA by our very own Beverage Director Jon Arroyo in conjunction with the talented team of vintners at Early Mountain Vineyards, Virginia Vines Rosé is meant to be enjoyed as an accompaniment to our Founding Farmers food or all on its own.
