“Woodbrook Farm Vineyard: Where Legacy Meets Luxury in Orange County, VA”

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Montford, Virginia, Woodbrook Farm Vineyard stands as a testament to a legacy deeply rooted in equestrian excellence and a passion for the finer things in life. Founded by Noel Twyman, whose family’s remarkable journey from elite horse showmanship to champion winemaking unfolds like a rich tapestry, Woodbrook Farm Vineyard invites you to join them on an enchanting journey of history, scenic beauty, and, of course, exceptional wines.

A Storied Legacy:

In 1950, Delmar Twyman, a distinguished horse showman, moved his family to Montford, Virginia, laying the foundation for what would become Woodbrook Farm Vineyard. Noel Twyman, following in his father’s footsteps, transitioned from Show Hunters to Racehorses, eventually establishing a thriving business in breaking and training Thoroughbred and Steeplechase racehorses. This legacy of champions has now blossomed into an exciting new chapter – the creation of champion Virginia Wines.

The Transformation:

The historic “Training Barn” built in 1982 has been transformed into Woodbrook Farm Vineyard’s inviting wine-tasting room. Thanks to the dedication of Noel’s children, Vaughan Jenkins and Robert Twyman, along with their spouses Noel Jenkins and Carey Twyman, this space now offers a cozy haven where visitors can relish the stories of the vineyard’s history, savor stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and most importantly, taste exceptional wines.

Vineyard Expansion:

In April 2022, Woodbrook Farm Vineyard planted its first vines, covering 5 1/2 acres with varietals such as Petit Manseng, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. A further 1/2 acre of Norton was added in May 2023, rounding out the total under vine to 6 acres. The commitment to quality is evident in every carefully chosen varietal, promising a diverse and exquisite tasting experience.

Tasting and Flights:

Woodbrook Farm Vineyard offers traditional tastings at the bar for a personal touch, as well as a variety of flights that allow guests to find a comfortable spot, sip, and savor. The intimate setting and breathtaking surroundings make each tasting a unique and memorable experience.

The “Winners Circle” Wine Club:

Excitement abounds as Woodbrook Farm Vineyard unveils its “Winners Circle” Wine Club, offering a host of exclusive perks to its members. From quarterly wine selections curated by the owners to complimentary tastings, discounts on purchases, and priority access to special events, the club promises a VIP experience for wine enthusiasts.

Upcoming Christmas Market:

This festive event promises a delightful day for all, featuring Santa Claus photos, hay wagon rides, and a chance to support local artisan vendors. Don’t forget to bring a gift for the Orange County Children’s Toy Box and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine while you shop!
