WINE CAMP

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own vineyard or becoming a winemaker?  If so, Wine Camp is the place for you!  Come to Wine Camp and live the winery & vineyard dream. 

A Stunning Getaway

Join us for a weekend getaway in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, the heart of Virginia’s Wine Country! This is the perfect opportunity to receive an education in wine, take part in the wine-making process, and enjoy your fair share by working side by side with our vintner team.

Welcome to the Family

Veramar Vineyard is a family-owned and operated vineyard and winery nestled in Berryville, VA. It was one of the first to be established in the area, and the Bogaty’s often remark that it felt like an act of fate, though they did not start off with any background in wine. Now they bottle over 10,000 cases annually, and have expanded their business to include 2 sister wineries.

 

On your visit you’ll be welcomed like a member of the family. You’ll stay for a weekend on the Bogaty Family Estate and will be greeted with stunning pastoral views of the Vineyard each day. Special opportunities to get hands-on in the wine-making range from pressing grapes to bottling. It’s sure to give you new appreciation for all that goes into a glass of wine, and there’ll be plenty of those too.
