THERE IS LOTS TO EXPLORE IN THE AREA!

Chaos Mountain doesn’t take anything too seriously,  except making high quality, enjoyable craft beer. We are dedicated to  producing the best possible beer from the best ingredients available. If  a batch of beer doesn’t pass our quality assurance tests, it goes down  the drain. From easy drinking session beers to big, intense Belgian style ales, rotating seasonals and limited release barrel aged brews, there is something for everyone!

Hammer  & Forge Brewing Company exists as a celebration of the hard workers  in every industry. We brew each beer to honor the dedication of  everyday hard working people; individuals who see each new day as an  opportunity to improve themselves and the world around them. 

Franklin County has always been an  historical crossroads and center for local cultural exchange. The  Scotch-Irish settled in southwest Virginia and brought with them recipes  and techniques for distilling spirits that are still used today.  Franklin County Distilleries (FCD) incorporates that history and culture  into all of our products as we look to the future. Here at Franklin  County Distilleries, our products are crafted to mirror the brands that  bootleggers built.

We’re passionate about making wine and have a deep  respect for the land. It comes naturally to us. We've been practicing  viticulture for 22 years and designing wine for 18 years.  We hope you will come visit our winery on Bent Mountain or stop by our  tent during a wine festival around Virginia and get to know us. We would  love to meet you and see what you think about our wines.

Valhalla was conceived as a vineyard and winery to allow us to  strive for perfection.  With each new vintage, there was something new  to discover, learn and improve. Many of you, our friends and customers,  helped us plant our vines or were with us to harvest the first fruit. We  continue to produce and provide world class wines.
