Big Cork Vineyards
There’s a reason Big Cork Vineyards has “big” right in its name. It’s known for making wine with big, intense flavor from the small grapes with concentrated flavor that grow in the vineyard. The entire winemaking process is done on-site, from growing the grapes to bottling the finished product and shipping or serving it to loyal and satisfied customers. Through the years, Big Cork Vineyards has won several awards for its wines, such as the petit verdot and the cabernet franc. You can also enjoy a glass of chardonnay, merlot, or syrah while you’re there.
