Pollak Vineyards

Pollak Vineyards is a small family-owned winery founded in 2003 with the purchase of a 98-acre farm just west of Charlottesville, Virginia. Owners Margo and David Pollak were inspired to create this venture because of their own passion - passion for wine as well as the pleasure it brings to shared meals with friends. Today they have 25 acres of French vinifera planted with the intent of making estate grown wine that has the finesse and balance of the traditional French varietals. They build upon the experience that other Virginia vintners have had and refine the particular varietals for which Virginia can produce world-class wines.
