Wine A Little

We love the water, but we love the earth, or “terroir” as we call it, for giving us wine. Our two River Realm wineries are experiences all on their own. You’ll discover a list of award-winning wines including a Chardonnel Reserve and a Rosie Rose. Each one pairing perfectly with the Virginia Oyster.
