Cunningham Creek Winery at Middle Fork Farm
We are a welcoming place to gather with friends and family and enjoy award winning wines. Our family owned and operated boutique winery is located just 12 miles from Thomas Jefferson’s original vineyard. Beginning in 2012, we transformed a historic cattle and hay farm into a working vineyard. The first vines were planted in 2013, followed by the opening of our tasting room in 2016 and winery production area in 2017. Today we have approximately 13 acres of French varietals, which have now produced award winning and estate wines. Our tasting room was carefully designed as a year-round space with ample inside seating and a wood burning fireplace; outside we have a large deck, covered pergolas and a large lawn area for spreading out. We love to have families and dogs visit and have a fenced off-leash dog park with water.

Winemaking Philosophy:
At Cunningham Creek Winery we strive to make wines that delight the palate and allow the grapes to shine. We nurture the fruit in our vineyard as well as select quality fruit from our partner vineyards. Our winemaking practices balance new and old-world styles to produce small lots of single varietals and blends from French vinifera grapes.
