Reflections from Twisted Pines Farm & Vineyard - January 2026

Happy New Year TPV Insiders! With 2025 in the books, we’re taking some time to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished over the last year. It’s wild to think that we launched our inaugural 5-wine line up just twelve short months ago. Meanwhile, we closed out 2025 with 14 unique wines in bottle!  We are currently gearing up for January 9th, when we join the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival for our second year. This is the festival that truly started it all for us and we’re very excited to showcase just how far we’ve come in a mere 365 days.

*Not shown: 2023 Malbec – the base for our infamous Twisted PinesApple Slush and 2023 Blue.

Last Call!

While no longer available to order online or as part of our tasting menu, we have a few remaining cases of 2023 Blue and 2023 Vidal Blanc available exclusively for our TPV Insiders (that’s you!).  This is your last chance to add the final available bottles of these to your wine rack.  Don’t wait – contact us today to secure yours!

For those Blue lovers, we recently released 2024 Blue – same delicious grape (Riesling), prepared in a slightly different way. What could be better than picking up a bottle of each vintage to compare?

What's Next?

The shorter days offer colder weather and dormant vines, leaving us with a little more time on our hands. Not known for sitting idle, we’ve been busy making plans for the remainder of the 2024 vintage and the first of the 2025 vintage.  For example, peep the Chardonnay we bottled on New Year’s Day. This time next year it will be wrapping up the final steps of production, resulting in a new sparkling wine crafted via the méthode champenoise.

On the Wild Side

As part of New Year's Day tradition on the farm, the Sebastopol and French Toulouse were segregated across breeding pens. Much to the chagrin of the birds! With breeding season just around the corner, our waitlist for both breeds is open and our incubators are ready to be fired up.

With the way Birkin has been courting Kelly, we imagine ostrich egg laying season isn't far behind!
