Wolf Gap Vineyard & Winery

Our conversation today for Tourism Tuesday with Kary Haun from Shenandoah County Tourism featured Janel Laravie, owner and proprietor of Wolf Gap Vineyard & Winery. Janel explained how she & her husband came to own the nearly 20-year-old vineyard and told us about the experience they've had so far. We talked about the grapes they grow which produce the outstanding wines they offer. She told us about updates and improvements they've made since taking over nearly two years ago including a new, beautifully constructed and the conversion of the barn to a much larger winemaking facility. We discussed the events she's held and she told us about the experiences she hopes people enjoy when visiting the vineyard for an event or for a tasting. She also gave details for the 2023 Shenandoah Cup in which they will participate.  The Shenandoah Cup draws attention to the Shenandoah Valley AVA highlighting the superior growing conditions for wine grapes and the resulting wines that are being made. Wine submitted for judging must be at least 85% Shenandoah Valley AVA wines and produced by one of their members.
