Women in Wine - Horton Vineyard Takeover

Women’s History Month Spotlight: Horton Vineyards at Briede Family Vineyards

This Women’s History Month, we are honored to welcome Horton Vineyards, one of the most influential names in Virginia wine, for a special guest pour at Briede Family Vineyards.

Founded by Dennis Horton, Horton Vineyards helped shape the modern Virginia wine industry. Today, that legacy is carried forward by three remarkable women, including Shannon Horton, who has been instrumental in advancing Virginia wine on both a regional and national level.

Together, these women oversee the production of more than 35,000 cases annually, crafting wines that have earned numerous awards and critical acclaim—all while continuing to push Virginia wine forward with innovation, vision, and heart.

Join us as Horton Vineyards pours a curated selection of their wines and shares the story of family, leadership, and women making history in the vineyard.
