Venture beyond the tasting room and into the rolling foothills of the Shenandoah Valley. Our hiking trails wind through wooded ridgelines and open meadows right up to the edge of Shenandoah National Park — with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge the whole way. Lace up, bring a bottle, and see the land that shapes our wines.
Muse Vineyards sits at an elevation 1,000 feet and rests on Virginia shale and rocky red clay soils. The top vineyard sits on a terrace formed millions of years ago by the Shenandoah River that today flows one hundred feet below. The soil is a loose loam formed from crystalline rock. Red gravelly clay begins at a depth of about three feet. Gentle inclines combine with the rocky soil to ensure good drainage.
The vineyard next to the tasting room, where Cabernet Sauvignon and some white varieties are grown, plunges down a steep shale outcropping.
The lower vineyard is on the riverbank and consists of silt loam alluvium formed from sandstone and shale.
Just 90 minutes from Washington, DC where viticultural science, artisanal practice, and reverence for classic French and Italian winemaking traditions converge.
