Tasting Room Under Construction for Scottsville's First Winery - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

A tasting room is now under construction for Scottsville's first winery.

The owners of Thistle Gate Vineyard say that after five years of growing grapes, opening up a tasting room is the natural next step.  Now the Cushnie family is coming together to build a barn-inspired space.

Leslie Cushnie of Thistle Gate Vineyard said, "It gives us a chance to spend a lot more time together and be interested in the same work. Yea, we're a pretty close family but we're all interested in it, so it's great to have a family business."

Thistle Gate Vineyard owners hope to officially open up the doors to the winery sometime next month.
