South River Vineyard

A church given a second life.

The winery

What to expect

South River’s tasting room is a century-old church relocated from Shalersville. The winery has operated here since 2002, with grounds that invite visitors to walk through the vines or sit on the veranda. A separate wine-storage cave made from highway culverts adds another unexpected building story. Guests may bring picnic food.
