It began with the glint of sunlight off the lake. What could be a more perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Chardonnay, savor a cold Pilsner, or celebrate newly wedded bliss with family and friends? The Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm was created by Maria Rafferty with the talents and experience of three generations of family. We look forward to welcoming you to share the magic of this special farm winery and brewery with us.
Nestled on Lake Manassas in Gainesville VA, The Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm is the only local winery with a breathtaking lakefront view. Our locally grown grapes and variety of wines offer something for every wine enthusiast. Our farm winery has grapes, fruit and hops planted to produce some delicious craft beverages. There is always something new being brewed!
Our farm winery was built from the land and has been designed to envelope you in the look and feel of a rustic lodge while offering the serenity and beauty of a countryside lake home. When visiting we want you to feel at home, so curl up on the plush couch in front of one of the fireplaces, enjoy a glass of wine with friends at a repurposed wine barrel table, or enjoy a hearty stout at the large pub table. Outside we have a Pergola with climbing hydrangeas and a large wraparound porch with seating so that you can watch the wildlife and breath the fresh air coming across the water. Upstairs we have a lovely gallery area with additional seating and breathtaking views.
Locally owned and operated, we are like no other, whether you want to read a book and peacefully enjoy a glass of wine or are looking to host your wedding or private event, we cater to many and are the perfect choice for any occasion. We look forward to hosting you and our extraordinary staff will make every visit a memorable experience.
