Carol Spengler in Athena Vineyards & Winery Tasting Room

Athena Vineyards was established in 2002 by three friends active in the Health Care industry.  We enjoy healthy lifestyles, working in the vineyard and the finer things in life.  Our interest in winemaking led to the construction of our winery in 2005.  Athena has become the first commercial vineyard and winery in Northumberland County, Virginia.  Visit our tasting room and share our warm hospitality in a beautiful vineyard setting.
See our new Wine list

Our vineyards overlook the Great Wicomico River with 14 acres of over a dozen varieties of grapes.  Not far from the Chesapeake Bay, we embrace the lifestyle of the area - crabs, rockfish and oysters are common in the region.  We have a few years of harvest behind us now, so please visit to see our progress.  Great things are happening on Virginia's Northern Neck.

Future plans include new facilities for wine processing with a larger tasting room and gift shop.  Special events, weddings and company parties will be able to take advantage of the new facility.  We invite you to join us to taste our wines and enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds with serene ponds, vineyards and scenic overlooks.

Our grapes are hand picked at the peak of ripeness.  Quality control is essential to ensure that only the finest grapes are used for winemaking.  After all - you can't make great wine without great grapes.
