SugarLeaf Vineyard


If you enjoy a good glass of wine then you will appreciate this post.
I wanted share my experience at one of the few black-owned vineyards on the east coast; SugarLeaf Vineyard in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The vineyard was constructed in 2004 by Jerry and Lauren Bias; the owners of the winery.

There is only one way out through a dirt road which ends at a small open space where the house for the fermentation of the grapes occurs. Inside you will find the two medium destemmers, the machine used to crushed the grapes.
Because of the size and location of the vineyard, it makes it a very intimate setting. Very good place to take your significant other on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Their wines are extremely refreshing and tasty...All of them. One of my favorites was the Nubian Nectar; a sweet white desert wine. I am not the biggest fan of white wines but that one I would recommend to anyone that likes a good relaxing bottle of wine.
