The Vineyard
The Furrows first vineyard was planted on the shores of Smith Mountain Lake in 1984. This small, experimental vineyard in Hickory Cove sparked the passion and by 1992, the current Hickory Hill Vineyards was established.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Wine may be purchased for carryout during regular hours at our new Sales Window located at the back of the farmhouse.
The picnic area is open! A reservation guarantees your space. Walkups are welcome as space allows.
Tasting flight, wine by the bottle, wine by the glass, and cheese-cracker-meat picnic available.

Visit our 1923 Farmhouse Tasting Room & Gift Shop
The Furrows invite you to their 1923 farmhouse tasting room and gift shop with a modern winery to sample the fruits of their labor. The farmhouse is original to the estate and was given as a wedding present at the cost of $500. The farmhouse is the first on record in Bedford County to be in a woman’s name, Etta Ayers Cunduf Scruggs.
The Wines
Since its first vintage in 2001, Hickory Hill Vineyard’s wines have consistently earned medals of excellence in wine competitions, with over 80 medals to date in state, national and international competitions.
Hickory Hill’s popular “Lake series” of blended wines are made in a light, fruit-forward style. For those preferring more traditional, drier wines, there is also estate-grown, award-winning Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Other options include Cabernet Franc and a yet to be released traditional Bordeaux blend.
Sunset Saturday
Saturday nights in the summer vineyard ring with good music, good conversation and laughing children chasing fireflies. Hickory Hill’s Sunset Saturday music series are evenings of affordable, local entertainment and a popular lake tradition since 2005.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to COVID-19 and the VA Governor’s ‘Forward Virginia’ Plan, there will be no Sunset Saturdays before July 2020. Should something change, we will reevaluate.
