Davis Valley Winery is owned by Rusty Cox and his wife, Ruth Rhea. As a lifelong Virginia resident, Rusty saw the potential for growing grapes and making wine in the beautiful Davis Valley region. With a passion for winemaking, Rusty and Ruth decided to take the plunge and plant their own vineyards.
The process of starting a winery is not an easy one. It requires careful planning, patience, and a lot of hard work. Rusty and Ruth dedicated themselves to learning about viticulture and winemaking, attending workshops and seminars to gain the knowledge they needed to succeed.
After years of tending to their vineyards and waiting for the grapes to mature, the time finally came to harvest their first crop. It was a moment of excitement and anticipation, as they knew that the quality of their wines would depend on the quality of the grapes. The hard work paid off, and the first wines produced from their vineyards were exceptional.
One wine, in particular, stood out among the rest – the Davis Valley Cab Franc. This wine quickly gained recognition and became an award-winning favorite among wine enthusiasts. Its rich flavors, velvety texture, and complex aromas made it a standout in the Virginia wine scene.
Rusty and Ruth's dedication to their craft and their commitment to producing high-quality wines have earned them a loyal following of customers.
