Step into the legacy and innovation of Prince Michel Winery, one of Virginia’s most celebrated wineries, at the Virginia Wine Festival. Established in 1982 by French entrepreneurs Jean and Sylviane LeDucq, Prince Michel helped shape Virginia’s now-thriving wine industry, blending Old World tradition with modern creativity. Today, under the leadership of Kristin Swanson Easter—one of the few female winery owners in the world—Prince Michel continues to redefine Virginia winemaking with award-winning wines, craft brews, and unforgettable experiences.

At the festival, you’ll have the opportunity to taste internationally acclaimed wines that showcase the artistry and history of Prince Michel, meet the passionate team behind the winery’s continued success and innovation, and explore festival-exclusive offerings, including limited-release wines and unique gift selections.

Just 30 miles north of Charlottesville, Prince Michel’s flagship winery and taproom is open seven days a week, featuring Tap 29 Brewery, craft ciders, and pub-style dining. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to experience the energy, excellence, and excitement of Prince Michel Winery at the Virginia Wine Festival.
