Six (6) lucky individuals will enjoy a most incredible experience hosted by Lynchburg local Kylie Rhoads, Vineyard Manager and Assistant Wine Maker at Keswick Vineyards and Winery in Charlottesville, VA. Kylie will lead you on a private and personalized tour of the beautiful vineyards and provide you with a private tasting of some of Keswick's
most exquisite wines. This two (2) hour experience will be educational and uniquely entertaining! Kylie's love and passion for grapes and wine began as a child growing up in southern Georgia where she has fond memories of watching her dad grow muscadine grapes and make wine with them. While the muscadine wine was never her palette, she acquired a genuine desire to learn about all thing's grapes and wine!
While attending UVA, she began working at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards to be involved in an industry she knew and loved. Kylie was promoted to Vineyard Manager at Pippen Hill and several years later was offered the position of Vineyard Manager at Keswick. She has expanded her expertise into creating wines and is also an Assistant Winemaker!! Kylie sees great potential within our Monticello AVA and is thrilled to be a part of what is the ground level of this amazing industry.
