Welcome To Holly Grove Vineyards

We are a family owned and operated farm Virginia winery located on Holly Grove Cove on the Bayside of Virginia's Eastern Shore in Franktown. Inspired by the natural beauty and resources here, we are committed to producing quality handcrafted wines using locally grown grapes. Capitalizing on our temperate climate moderated by the Atlantic Ocean breezes on this "land between two waters" we produce fine Virginia wine which express the natural terroir. We are continuing a tradition dating back centuries to the days when Native Americans worked the land to produce a host of fruitful agricultural products.
