Hickory Hill Vineyards

Hickory Hill Vineyards sits near the shores of Smith Mountain Lake in southwestern Virginia. Family owned and operated, it pairs a relaxed lakeside vibe with classic vineyard charm. Visitors come for the scenery, the hospitality, and a laid back tasting experience. The setting feels intimate yet welcoming. The winery pours approachable Virginia wines, often in tasting flights or by the glass and bottle. Expect a mix of light and crisp whites alongside smooth reds that suit the region, with occasional seasonal releases. Outdoor spaces invite picnics, and many guests linger at tables overlooking the vines. Staff are known to share the story behind each wine and the history of the property. Hours can shift with the season, so checking the online calendar before visiting is a smart idea. The winery frequently hosts casual events like live music afternoons and community gatherings, and food trucks may appear on select dates. Leashed dogs are commonly welcome in outdoor areas, and larger groups may want to call ahead for arrangements. It makes a comfortable stop for lake travelers and a pleasant day trip from nearby Blue Ridge towns.
