Crimson Lane Vineyards
Just opened in March 2023! Travels throughout the Virginia countryside took Tom and Deanna searching for the perfect place to plant their vineyard roots—a place with ideal soil, slope, and sunlight.
In 2011, ten years into this quest for perfection, they took a dusty ride down a gravel road called Crimson Lane. Suddenly, they knew they’d found something exceptional. With significant slope, ideal elevation, an ability to plant south-facing vineyards, and ideal soil for wine grapes, it was clear—this site was special—too special to pass up. Please note that this winery requires reservations and does not allow children. Learn more.

Vibrissa Beer
Vibrissa began their journey when a few brave souls got the wild-assed idea that Front Royal, with its vibrant outdoor culture, real people, and appreciation of everything unpretentious, was a natural beer town. Over a few brews, their founders decided to invest their time and resources to make great beer and food a reality. After many false starts and a few near-death experiences, they opened our doors in 2018 as Front Royal Brewing Company and now Vibrissa with locations in Front Royal and Winchester. Learn more.
