Athena Vineyards Athena Vineyards was established in 2002 by three nurses, where
they enjoy healthy lifestyles, working in the vineyard and the finer things in life. Their interest in winemaking led to the construc- tion of the winery in 2005. Athena has become the first commercial vineyard and winery in Northumberland County, Vir- ginia. Visit the tasting room and share the warm hospitality in a beautiful vineyard setting. The vineyards overlook the Great Wicomico River with 15 acres of more than 20 varieties of grapes. Their philosophy of growing grapes and making wine in an en- vironmentally safe manner is an important responsibility to land stewardship and the long-term relationship with their custom- ers, neighbors and the world. Athena Vine- yards strives to be environmentally friendly, economically sound and socially respon- sible with all their winery and viticulture practices. All grapes are hand picked at the peak of ripeness. Quality control is es- sential to ensure that only the finest grapes are used for winemaking—you can’t make great wine without great grapes. Athena Vineyards embraces the lifestyle of the Chesapeake Bay area.
