Open Year Round

History:

It all started as a glance at an article in a Progressive Farmer'smagazine.  A glance then turned into an idea, an idea put into actions.  Tim Watkins started it all. He then presented his idea to Chad Ledbetter and then in no time it started.  The planning, the discussions, and budgeting were put into motion.  Bobby Watkin's land was cultivated and the blacksmith shop occupied, which is now the winery, after several additions.  Muscadines were ordered and planted in the winter of 2005.  The irrigation system was installed with the shear determination of good friend, Mike Bush the summer of 2006.  Then everyone realized that a name was needed for the vineyard. After weeks of going over names, the guys in the vineyard were working as always. It was dusk and the sound of whippoorwills were in the background.  Bobby said "Whippoorwill Vineyards" and from then on the name was never an issue.  The name was loved because it is so fitting for our little piece of heaven on earth.
