Chateau Morrisette is described on its official site as the result of a love affair between the Morrisette family and the mountains of southwest Virginia; over a 20-year period the Morrisettes acquired approximately 1,000 acres. The site states the winery has produced wines for over 45 years and calls itself the oldest winery in Virginia. David Morrisette, the first winemaker, learned at a very young age to "don't make the wines you like, but the ones your customers like." For over forty years the winery has partnered with brides and grooms from across the country to host weddings.
