DuCard Vineyards is an authentic boutique winery, growing its own grapes and making its own wines onsite, to enjoy and purchase solely at our gorgeous mountainside tasting room bordering the Shenandoah National Park. White Oak Canyon and Old Rag Mountain trails are around the corner. DuCard grows 20 acres of French vinifera and native Virginia varieties, all meticulously nurtured and tended by hand. Located at an elevation of 1,000 feet, on picturesque slopes in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains. Our grapes reflect the rocky soils and rugged landscape of Madison County, Virginia and yield wines of unique character and complexity. We are a psychological and wine-o-logical getaway from the real world.
