David Girard Vineyards

David Girard purchased 85 acres of rolling farm land in the early 1990's and began developing the vineyard. After a trip to France with Vineyard Manager Ron Mansfield they determined that the soil and terroir was most similar to the Rhone Valley in France. David began developing a Rhone style vineyard by planting varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Counoise, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. 38 acres are now planted in vine. The tasting room opened in 2005 and David Girard Vineyards offers complimentary and reserve wine tasting daily from 11-5. Meet our winemaker Mari Wells Coyle who is often available for questions. Our knowledgeable tasting room staff and cellar crew is available for tours on Saturdays or by appointment.
