Nestled in the woods just south of Charlottesville, Michael Shaps Winery offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience that blends Old World tradition with Virginia terroir. Founded in 2007 by acclaimed winemaker Michael Shaps, the winery is known for producing small-batch, age-worthy wines that reflect balance, varietal integrity, and regional character.
Guests are invited to enjoy a seated tasting featuring both Michael Shaps Virginia wines and his imported Maison Shaps Burgundy selections—bottled in Meursault, France and shipped directly to the winery. The rustic-industrial tasting room includes ample indoor and outdoor seating, with a spacious deck, stone patio, and expansive front lawn for relaxed sipping in nature.
Wine club members are welcomed upstairs to the Loft—a private lounge perfect for a more intimate tasting or special gathering. Whether you’re enjoying a flight by the fire or a bottle under the trees, a visit to Michael Shaps Winery is a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the evolving story of Virginia wine.
Exceptional wines. Exclusive access. No commitment.
Join the Michael Shaps Wine Club and enjoy four curated shipments a year featuring our limited-production Virginia and Burgundy wines. Members receive generous discounts, complimentary tastings, access to library releases, and invitations to exclusive events.
