Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn is owned by Shay McNeal-Poulin. I am truly fortunate to be the owner of this beautiful winery nestled in the heart of Virginia's wine country. Let me share with you a little bit about myself and how I came to own Aspen Dale Winery.
My journey in the world of wine and brewing started many years ago when I discovered my passion for the art and science of creating exceptional beverages. I have always been fascinated by the way a perfect balance of flavors can be achieved through careful selection of ingredients and the meticulous process of fermentation.
I began my career as a sommelier, immersing myself in the study and appreciation of wines from all over the world. I traveled to various wine regions, attending tastings, visiting vineyards, and honing my palate. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the nuances and complexities of different wine varietals.
During my travels, I also had the opportunity to explore the world of brewing. I became captivated by the craft beer movement and the endless possibilities for creativity and innovation. I began experimenting with different ingredients and techniques, developing my own recipes and refining my brewing skills.
After years of working in the wine and brewing industry, I felt a calling to create something of my own. I wanted to combine my passion for both wine and beer and create a unique experience for visitors. That's when I discovered Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn.
Located in the picturesque town of Delaplane, Virginia, Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn captured my heart from the moment I set foot on the property. The winery is housed in a beautifully restored 200-year-old barn, exuding charm and history. Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, it provides the perfect backdrop for enjoying a glass of wine or beer.
As the owner of Aspen Dale Winery, my vision is to offer a truly exceptional and memorable experience for our guests. I take great pride in the quality of our wines and beers, carefully crafting each one to showcase the unique characteristics of the grapes and ingredients.
One of the things that sets Aspen Dale Winery apart is our commitment to sustainability and organic farming practices. We believe in the importance of caring for the land and producing wines and beers that are not only delicious but also environmentally conscious. This commitment extends to every aspect of our operations, from the vineyard to the winemaking process.
At Aspen Dale Winery, we offer a wide range of wines, from light and crisp whites to bold and robust reds. We also have a selection of handcrafted beers, each with its own distinctive flavor profile. Our tasting room provides a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, where guests can explore and discover their new favorite beverages.
I am honored to be the owner of Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn. It is not just a business for me; it is a labor of love and a reflection of my passion for wine and beer. I invite you to visit us and experience the beauty, craftsmanship, and hospitality that Aspen Dale Winery has to offer.
