Mt Gilead Estate Winery
The Finest Virginia Wines

Mt Gilead Winery is a small premium estate winery located in the Bull Run Mountains. Owned and operated by the Heberling family since 1988, the land was first deeded to our great, great, great grandfather in 1794.

With the premise that fine wine is grown and not made, we take low yields and tend our 80-acre estate vineyards with meticulous care. Only small volumes of handmade wines are produced to ensure the highest standards of quality.

Every vintage of Mt Gilead wine receives the Virginia Wines stamp of approval. Our dedication to high quality in viticulture and oenology has been rewarded with over fifty international awards. At Mt Gilead, the tradition of quality continues.

"When winemakers strive to achive winemaking goals, they must work within the boundaries of the grape and its origin. At Mt Gilead Winery, what interests us is probing those boundaries, finding the potential of the grape and its roots on the Bull Run mountainsides, and yielding distinctive wine as a result."
