Caret Cellars, a well-established winery and vineyard in Essex County, Virginia, is ready for its next chapter. Now offered at $895,000, the updated price reflects recent renovations, including a beautifully finished upper level with private exterior entrance and newly added bathrooms. This flexible upstairs space offers enormous potential for creative use—whether for events, office space, or future residential or rental purposes. Please note: to utilize the upstairs as a residence or short-term rental, a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) would be required. The Seller is actively working with Essex County to explore the steps needed to obtain this. Situated on 45 scenic acres, including a 6.5-acre producing vineyard, the property offers the perfect blend of established infrastructure and untapped potential. Originally developed by R.D. and Junghee Thompson, the winery began production in 2014 and has grown to include 12 unique varietals. The 6,000+ sq ft facility houses a tasting room, production area, and now, a fully renovated second floor with vineyard views. Though production has slowed in recent years, the bones of a thriving wine business remain firmly in place. The tasting room features a prep area ready for kitchen appliances, and the production facilities are equipped to process over 1,800 cases of wine annually. Caret Cellars presents a rare opportunity to reimagine and revitalize a working Virginia winery. Whether you're an experienced vintner or an entrepreneurial visionary, this property offers the setting, infrastructure, and groundwork to build something truly special.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
