Mission Statement:

As a member of the Fauquier Wine Council I am agreeing that through this Code of Conduct I am committed to business practices that promote sustainable wine-growing as a set of best practices which guide farm wineries in producing wine in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner that benefits families, employees, communities and the environment.

2. To amicably resolving our neighbors concerns
3. To the continuous improvement of the quality of Virginia wine which begins with a high quality grape crop both in our vineyards and from those Virginia vineyards from whom we purchase fruit
4. To strive to produce high quality “world class“ wines which bring greater recognition of Virginia among the significant wine producing regions
5. To work with other farm wineries and vineyards to support programs which effectively communicate the quality of our local wine grapes and wines
