The Winery

Forged in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia, Iron Heart Winery is run by a Father-Son team. Built from the ground up, a farm with history in America’s Industrial Revolution circa 1882 is being transformed into a modern day escape. The duo works to create a unique and sustainable business while providing a quality product, and experience, for the consumer. The pair works day and night to launch the fledgling business on the land where they were both born and raised (50 years apart).

Iron Heart Winery

"A Gem!"

We were so excited for this new winery to open and they didn't disappoint! The thought that has gone into every detail, from the names and bottle labels, to the family farm history, it is just a gem! For the first 5 wines they have bottled, I could not decide which was my favorite. Friendly atmosphere and beautiful patio make this a winery worth finding off the beaten path.

The Cabin

The Cabin is nestled on an old Railroad grade that meanders along a swift mountain stream known as Little Reed Island Creek.

The Store

It is amazing how a babbling mountain stream can soothe your soul. Sitting on the large deck, over-looking the stream just below will certainly help you unwind. Spend your afternoon in the large, cozy, living room or let everything go while you explore the huge yard and creek bank.

Section Foreman's House

Have you ever drifted to sleep in a front porch rocking chair as the world slowly passes you by? A chorus of insects, the subtle sound of a flowing mountain stream and the cool foothill breeze is sure to put you in a relaxed state of mind.

Hike The New River Trail

Fariss Farms is a short 1.5 miles from the New River Trail.

We are located approximately 2 miles from Claytor Lake’s Allisonia public Boat launch and 1.5 miles from access to the New River Trail, a 39 mile linear park that is great for leisurely bike rides or evening strolls.
