7 Lady Vineyards

7 Lady Vineyards is the brainchild of two long-time friends and business partners who share the same passion for family, entrepreneurship, genuine hospitality, and premium wines! Located on 55 beautiful acres at Dover Hall, the vineyards’ name is an homage to the 7 beautiful ladies who embody the heartbeat of the Hornik-Ottaviano partnership.

Our wine concept is distinct and unparalleled in Virginia. Since 2018, we started working with top winemakers globally to source grapes from regions that best suit each varietal. We produce Viognier and Cabernet Franc grapes on our estate at Dover Hall and also pride ourselves on offering an impressive array of premium wines from all over the world in our tasting room. 7 Lady Vineyards collaborates with the world’s best winemakers to create a diverse portfolio of wines that cater to all tastes.

With over one-third of our wines celebrated at events like the Virginia Governor's Cup, San Francisco International Wine Competition, and Sommeliers Choice Awards, our dedication to crafting VARIETALLY CORRECT wines that establish a SENSE OF PLACE shines through. CHEERS!!!
