Paul and Brenda (Humphrey) Hric moved home to the Southwest Virginia mountains in 2005 to Brenda’s family homeplace. West Wind Farm is the current incarnation of what started as Mount Zephyr in the mid-19th century. The Humphrey family came to own the farm in 1914 and Brenda and Paul were able to keep it in the family by establishing West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery. (Just in case you’re wondering, Zephyr means “west wind”.)

The grapevines were planted in the spring of 2003 and the first wine made here was in the fall of 2005. Currently there are five acres of grapes being cultivated on the farm. This allows Paul to exercise the growing skills that were once showcased at Country Meadows Nursery and Greenhouses in Greensboro, North Carolina. He and Brenda owned the successful garden center until 1999.

David Manley and Jason Manley, nephews, got on board from the beginning and helped bring about what is now West Wind Farm Vineyard & Winery.

David lived in Charlottesville and in both Carolinas for ten years before returning to his roots. He basks in the relaxed pace and wide open skies his native Wythe County features. He’s involved in a little bit of everything here at the winery and during summer months, you’re liable to see him furiously chasing down Japanese beetles. If you’re interested and have a license, David can even perform your wedding. No kidding!

Jason returned to the mountains of Southwest Virginia after living in Charlottesville and in Greensboro, North Carolina. He makes your visit enjoyable whether he’s behind the bar, keeping the place looking great, or finding useful, tasty, and beautiful items to sell. He makes our lives more pleasant with his hard work in the vineyard and all around the winery.
