2021 Sparkling Rosé / 11.00 / 34.00
Dry | 12.3% ABV | Don’t let the delicate color fool you—its dry acidity stands up to strong flavors. The nose suggests fruits and minerals, while the astringent finish prepares you for your next bite. Enjoy this with your next brunch or charcuterie, parmesan cheese, pizza, and spicy ethnic dishes.

Dry | 12.8% ABV | 100% French oaked with notes of yellow fruit ranging from golden delicious apple to delicate tropical flavors.

2022 Chambourcin 11.00 / 33.00
Dry | 13.5% ABV | We’re enjoying the black fruits, spice, and black pepper on the nose of this lighter bodied wine. The nice acidity and softer tannins make it incredibly easy to drink.

2021 Merlot / 11.00 / 35.00

Our blackberry bushes were initially planted at Chiles Peach Orchard in 2023 and Carter Mountain Orchard in 2025. Though a newer fruit at our orchards, we’ve been thrilled with each year’s bountiful harvest — and so have our visitors! Weather permitting, blackberry picking in Virginia is typically available in mid-June through July.
Blackberries feature uniquely bold and sweet flavors, with just the right amount of tartness to keep things interesting. Once you’ve tasted the earthy richness of farm-fresh local blackberries, it might be hard to go back to frozen!
There are hundreds of blackberry varieties, including thorned and thornless varieties. The thorned varieties are why blackberries (and raspberries) are often referred to as brambles, as this term references berries that grow on prickly shrubs. We grow thornless varieties for a safe and fun Virginia blackberry picking experience.
Picking Blackberries
As you pluck your blackberries from the vine, keep these tips in mind:
- Be picky: Take a moment to inspect each berry before adding it to your container. Look for signs of ripeness, such as deep black coloring and plumpness. Don’t be afraid to reach deep into the bush for the perfect berry!
- Tug gently: Use your fingertips to gently grasp the berries at the crown, giving a slight twist to release them from the stem. Pulling too hard can damage the berries or the plant.
- Get your fill: Make sure to carefully place each berry in your basket. You don’t want to return home with a bunch of smushed berries!
Before your visit, make sure to check and confirm blackberries are available for picking. The fruit charts for Carter Mountain Orchard and Chiles Peach Orchard are updated daily with pick-your-own and ready-picked availability.
Storing and Enjoying Blackberries
If you plan to eat or use your blackberries within a few days of picking, place them in a ventilated container in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, simply rinse and enjoy! For long-lasting storage, blackberries can be frozen for up to six months.
Whether savoring straight from the bush or mixing into a recipe, the best part of your blackberry-picking adventure is savoring its sweet rewards. These vitamin C-packed fruits are a delicious addition to pies, crumbles, wines, jams, and more.
