RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A craft distillery called Old House Distillery will open in Culpepper County.
Governor Terry McAuliffe’s office said Wednesday the owners of Old House Vineyards will open the distillery on their family farm.
The company will invest $229,000 and create three new jobs. The governor’s office says the distillery will get 82 percent of its grain, grapes and honey from Virginia agricultural producers. The state is partnering with Culpeper County and Old House Vineyards on the project through the Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund.
Old House Distillery will invest in site improvements, buildings and equipment needed to open the distillery, tasting room and a remote-licensed ABC store on the 75-acre property. The company will feature a Virginia Brandy that is grown, harvested, fermented, distilled and bottled on site.
