Caret Cellars is a family-owned and operated vineyard and winery. Located just off Route 17 in Essex County, Virginia, Caret Cellars is an hour northeast of Richmond, 40 miles southeast of Fredericksburg and 70 miles north of the Tidewater area. 

Owners R.D. and Junghee Thompson purchased the land for the vineyard in 2006, planted their grape vines in 2007, and built their winery in 2014. They are both pleased to offer a new spot where locals and tourists can meet, drink wine and have a relaxing time in a friendly environment. 

Our grapes are hand-harvested in our vineyard, and then crushed and fermented in small batches in our adjacent winery. Our red wines are aged in French oak barrels, while our whites and rosés linger in stainless steel.  We take a minimalist approach to wine making to allow the flavors created in the vineyard to be fully expressed in the wine. 

Our hours of operation are from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Thursday through Monday. Reservations are not required for tastings or tours during normal operating hours. Guests are invited to bring picnics; however, outside alcohol is not permitted.

Our wines are priced between $13 and $25.
