Create an itinerary including Arterra Wines
Arterra Wines is a cutting edge new winery located in the heart of the Virginia Wine Region. Owners Jason Murray and Sandy Gray-Murray are a husband and wife team who have combined their passions under one roof. Come experience this intimate, highly focused venture nestled on a beautifully wooded mountainside. We produce wines with true distinction, emphasizing all Virginia has to offer. We coin the phrase "Authentic Virginia" because our wines are made using Native Yeast Fermentations which truly express Terroir in a way that no other process can. Our wines are created with a minimalist mindset in order to guarantee the fruit is what you truly experience. We are a non-conventional winery and value the customer who appreciates the effort we put into creating an experience based on integrity, craftsmanship and authenticity. Hawkmoth Arts gallery is also on site. Hawkmoth Arts offers hand crafted original artworks largely inspired by the wine making process.

This hidden gem promises to offer you peace and tranquility as it is hidden away from the hustle bustle of life, allowing our customers a breath of fresh air!
A visit to Arterra Wines represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Delaplane trip builder website to plot your vacation.

  • Gorgeous winery location nestled in the woods. Ample seating inside and out. Very friendly staff. We sampled 10 wines. The reds were all wonderful, the whites a bit hit and miss but overall very good wines. We've seen some reduced ratings for Anterra wines but they must be based on the whites only. The reds are well worth the visit. Of the whites/rose the best was the the dry rose rated a 7.5 (out of 10) followed by the Chenin Blanc at a 7. We tried the two of the Chardonnays (the Zero and Amphora) which rated out at 5.5 and 6.0. The florally Traminette was a 6.0. The reds were a different story. The Petite Sirah was only a 6.5 but the rest of the reds were superb - Cab Frac (8.0), Petite Verdot (8.5), Tannat (8.5) and the Crooked Run blend was a 9.0. We bought some bottles and a couple of the wonderful craft items they have on offer. Definitely worth return visits. You won't be disappointed.
  • Has been for years, and remains, our favorite winery in VA and the DC metro area even after an extensive visit to the Monticello Wine Trail. Clean wines are important to us, and more so, enjoyable and tasty wines. Arterra offers both in a quaint and beautiful woodsy setting. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant, the owners very welcoming. They offer pottery and glazing classes, as well as pottery items for sale that one of the owners makes, often with leaves off their own vines. They have a cozy outdoor fire pit in the cooler months and the indoor is modern rustic. It’s easy to hang out here. After years of resisting, I finally had to join their wine club - it is by far the best clean wine.
