Cheers at Wisteria to family fun for everyone.
With sweeping landscapes filled with Blue Ridge Mountain views, charming and rustic combine in the small town of Stanley. Nestled on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Stanley, Wisteria Farm and Vineyard offers unique agritourism experiences for the whole family.
The family-run farm winery features a selection of wines made from estate-grown grapes. With roots stretching back to the late 1800s, the small farm is also home to a flock of natural-colored Romney sheep and free-roaming chickens. Farm-fresh eggs and yarn from the flock are available for purchase.
With a focus on family, Wisteria Farm and Vineyard has partnered with local small businesses in Stanley to create a fun and family-centered getaway in the Shenandoah Valley.
