Discover Cunningham Creek Winery & Brewery
Cunningham Creek Winery & Brewery is a family owned & operated small lot winery and brewery. We specialize in small lot finely crafted French varietals and Bordeaux blend wines and craft beers on tap.
We’re located on the Monticello Wine Trail–just 20 minutes from Jefferson’s Monticello, 30 minutes from Charlottesville, 10 minutes from Lake Monticello & 60 minutes from Richmond.
We are family, dog & picnic friendly. Enjoy our newly expanded outdoor seating or our air-conditioned tasting room. Or, enjoy your favorite CCW wine in our dog park and let your pup run off-leash. Don’t miss our weekly live music on Saturday night and team trivia the third Thursday of each month.
We’d love to share our wines, beers and open spaces with you!
