We’re thrilled to announce that the Nelson 29 Craft Beverage Trail is growing. This summer, we’re welcoming two outstanding craft beverage makers to our family: Delve Wines and Woodridge Farm Brewery. These aren’t just new stops on the trail – they represent everything we believe in: passion for craft, commitment to quality, and a deep connection to Nelson County’s land and heritage.
Meet Delve Wines
Delve Wines brings a fresh perspective to Virginia winemaking. With a focus on small-batch, handcrafted wines that showcase the unique terroir of Nelson County, Delve represents the next generation of winemakers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in our mountains.
What makes Delve special is their obsessive attention to detail. From vineyard management to fermentation to the final pour, every decision is made with intentionality. Their tasting room captures that same philosophy; a welcoming space where you can slow down, sip intentionally, and discover wines that tell the story of Nelson County’s soil and seasons.
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast seeking your next favorite bottle or a curious newcomer ready to explore, Delve’s team is ready to guide you through their collection with genuine passion and knowledge.
Meet Woodridge Farm Brewery
Woodridge Farm Brewery brings the brewery experience home to Nelson County’s farm traditions. Brewing on working farmland, they’ve created something rare: a craft brewery deeply rooted in agricultural heritage, where the land itself influences every batch they create.
Their approach is rooted in authenticity. They brew beers that reflect the seasons, the farm, and the community around them. You’ll find creative experimentations alongside approachable classics – beers designed for both the connoisseur and the casual sipper. And because they’re on a working farm, the experience extends beyond the beer. It’s about connection to place, to process, and to the people who make it happen.
What This Means for the Trail
The Nelson 29 Craft Beverage Trail was built on the idea that Nelson County’s craft beverage community is stronger together. Each member brings their own story, their own craft, their own reason for being here. With Delve Wines and Woodridge Farm Brewery joining us, we’re expanding the ways visitors can experience what makes our region special.

- Winemaking heritage at established vineyards and Delve’s innovative approach to modern viticulture
- Brewing creativity at established breweries and Woodridge’s farm-to-pint philosophy
