Here is some of our recent news and announcements:
In
1762 after years of hard work and regular communication with sponsoring
organizations in London, Charles Carter sent 12 bottles of wine grown and
bottled on the northern neck of Virginia at Cleve Plantation. Later that
year he joyously received a reply from the Royal Society of Arts accompanied
by a gold medal for his 'first successful attempt towards wine in America."
Recorded in the minute archives this important recognition began what we
know today as the Virginia wine industry. We invite you to join us and
'taste history' as we celebrate this important milestone.
In May of 2012, Philip Carter Winery will mark and observe the 250th Anniversary of the medal award during a three-day commemoration. Events are scheduled at the Historic Christ Church and The Carter Center on the northern neck on Thursday the 24th of May; at a gala dinner in Cleve Hall on the Philip Carter Winery grounds featuring a colonial menu paired with Philip Carter Wines on the 25th of May; and finally on the 26th of May at the winery a day of celebration including music, wine, food, historical characters and much more.
