* Weekly Staff Spotlight *
Meet Jose - our vineyard manager. (Yes, the famous Jose Rose!)
AND...please help us in wishing him a very HAPPY Birthday today.
Next to Nelson, Jose knows the most about Casanel, and takes the most amazing care of our grapes.
He started in general construction on the property and we quickly discovered he had a talent for growing, so he was put in charge of the grapes...the rest is history!
Jose is very passionate about his babies and is very proud of the wines they've become & we think our guests would agree.
The first Jose Rose was debuted in 2014 in honor of his wedding and has been a Casanel favorite ever since!
Thank you, Jose, for everything you do!
Holiday season means it’s sparkling season!
And to celebrate, this week’s featured flight highlights our sparkling wines:
✨ 2016 White Spark
✨ 2019 Red Spark
✨ 2020 Black Spark
It may be chilly outside, but the fireplace will be lit to keep it nice and toasty in the tasting room. Come snag a fireside spot and enjoy a flight!
* Weekly Staff Spotlight *
Meet one our AMAZING Tasting Room team members....Missi!!!
Why did you choose Casanel?
Casanel was the first Virginia winery I fell in love with, and not just with the wine. It was the people working there (and still is) that keeps me going back. They've become my family and my second home.
Favorite wine?
Either the José Rosé (I named my dog Rosé), or the Petit Verdot. The Chardonnay is up there too.
Favorite thing about working in the industry?
The stories you hear from the people you connect with, from all walks of life. Whether they're regulars or just passing through, learning about our guests is a true delight.
And anything extra you want to add?
If you have the opportunity to do a vertical tasting, do it! It really helps me understand the facets of a wine and how it ages over time. A lot of "novice" wine lovers ask how they can pick up on the notes and this is one way to cultivate that ability.
Than you, Missi, for your wonderful guest service & great attitude!
These 2 cuties are holding their annual fundraiser for America! Join us today and help make sure every veteran has a wreath for the holidays! You are also helping support Ellianna and Patricia's American Heritage Troop!
Can't make it in person, feel free to purchase from the girls website
Https://wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/166573
Thank you to all our veterans and current military for their service! We appreciate you all!
LIVE music today rain or shine - 1-5pm.
We're ready to kick back with the fun & talented Andy Hawk and Come join us!
On this day and always, we thank you for your service & sacrifice.
*Weekly Staff Spotlight*
Meet our All Around Go To Guy....Kenny!!
When did you start at Casanel? I worked the harvest from the vineyard to the cellar. It was an insightful and educational learning experience. The teamwork and camaraderie at Casanel is outstanding! Such dedication and commitment to quality wines, quality service, and enjoyable member experience!
Why did you chose Casanel? The family! I met Nelson, Anna, Elliotte and the kids at an American Heritage Girls event. They invited me to the winery and the rest is history! Anna and Elliotte’s youngest, Isabella, is my goddaughter (my spouse Mary is her godmother).
Favorite thing about working in the industry? The appreciation and passion for grape-growing and producing quality estate craft wines. Our winemaker, cellar team, vineyard crew, tasting room hosts, and volunteers really deliver for our members and guests!
And anything extra you want to add? The hard work never stops! Come out for a tour and experience what goes into producing quality Virginia wines. Cheers!
We got the AMAZING news earlier this week that our 2021 Ellianna and 2021 José Rosé won GOLD in the American Wine Society Competition! Ellianna also won best overall in the pinot gris category too!
So to celebrate, we’re featuring them and two of our previous winners,
2015 Petit Verdot & 2015 K-Squared,
on our flight of the week.
We’re open 12-6 today and we have a feeling it’s going to be another beautiful day for 🍷.
It’s hard to believe November is here already…where has this year gone?!
Lots of fun things happening this month, though. We hope to see you! 🍁
Santa's coming!
is ready for the holidays! And we are here serving some delicious Casanel wine for customers as you peruse the amazing jewelry and festive items Ketterman's has curated for you!
Here til 7pm!
Come be part of our awesome Tasting Room team! Part time help needed. If you have a passion for people & want to learn about our amazing industry...we'd love to talk to you.
Email us at [email protected]
Thank you for helping us spread the word.
Coming up this weekend is our monthly Sip event for Wine Club members!

There’s still plenty of time to sign up if you haven’t already! Email [email protected] to RSVP.
We are open and ready to have a GOURD time in the tasting room today 🎃
Stop in and see us 2-7 PM!
Have a safe and fa-boo-lous Halloween!
This week’s flight is a play on “sweet and spicy” for Halloween featuring
🎃 Patricia Marie: a fresh and gently oaked Pinot Gris with zesty notes of tropical fruits and orange blossom with a hint of vanilla, toasted sweetness, coconut, and spice.
👻 N-squared: medium-full bodied with flavors of juicy red fruits, toasty baking spices, caramel, and a touch of earthiness.
🍬 Dulce: a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris that is light and sweet with flavors of lemon, lime, peach, pineapple, orange, and white blossom.
💀 The Full Nelson: deep, dark port with a velvety texture, a blend of spicy & sweet notes, and flavors of raspberry and cherry.
We also have live music courtesy of Scott Kurt on the patio 1-4 PM.
Even though we’re closing at 5:30 PM today for a private event, We hope to see you on this boo-tiful Saturday!
Just a reminder that we will be closing early today and tomorrow for private events!
Friday hours are 12-4:30 PM.
Saturday hours are 12-5:30 PM.
Cheers!
Meet our new Social Media Manager, Natalie!
Natalie started at Casanel in May of this year, but she’s been a fan of our wines for 5 years now. Her current favorites are the Chardonnay and the Carménère.
Becoming a member of the has been one of the most amazing experiences! Getting to meet/interact with new people, share stories with them about our wines, and share the history of the winery itself is her favorite part!
Her best wine tip:
Don’t be afraid to try something completely new or a style that you’re not usually a fan of - because every wine is unique, you might just be surprised! 🤗
One of the best things about being on this farm is being surrounded by incredible nature, daily.
And boy, do we have a ton of it!!
Wonder if this guy would prefer our Chardonnay or Cabernet with his lunch?? 😀
We are looking for fun, energetic, wine loving folks to join our AMAZING Tasting Room team. Contact us for more details - [email protected]
A corporate tour is on their way in on this lovely Monday afternoon!
Anna will be providing a tour of the vineyards and winery along with a tasting! We are happy to provide tours for any group who makes a reservation and gives us advance notice.
Patricia Marie Pinot Gris season is upon us!
Aged in American oak barrels, Patricia Marie is perfect for your autumn favorites- turkey, butternut squash soup, pumpkin ravioli, and white chicken chili!
Bring on the cooler weather!
We officially celebrated 14 years this past Tuesday - October 18th! And wow, how things have changed over the years!
We are excited to be in search of a few new team members to add to our already amazing Tasting Room staff.
If you love wine, people, having fun & giving great service...let's chat!!
Flexible availability Friday thru Monday,
Contact: [email protected] for more details. Thank you for spreading the word for us.
Meet our new Wine Club Manager, Victoria!
Victoria joined the back in July of 2019 and she’s been involved with so much since then.
One of her favorite memories is getting to help process and bottle our 2018 Cabernet Franc - she loved getting to share that experience with customers too while chatting with them in the tasting room.
Her favorite Casanel wines are Ellianna, José Rosé, and Carménère.
And her best wine-drinking tip:
“Drink what you love and eat what you want with it because wine should be enjoyed no matter what.” 😉
