Winery
Michael Shaps Wineworks is a winery nestled in the woods just south of Charlottesville, Virginia, offering a tasting experience that blends Old World tradition with Virginia terroir. Founded in 2007 by acclaimed winemaker Michael Shaps, the winery is known for producing small-batch, age-worthy wines that emphasize balance, varietal integrity, and regional character. Guests can enjoy seated tastings featuring both the Michael Shaps Virginia wines and his imported Maison Shaps Burgundy selections, which are bottled in Meursault, France and shipped directly to the winery. The rustic-industrial tasting room provides ample indoor and outdoor seating, including a spacious deck, a stone patio, and an expansive front lawn for relaxed sipping in nature, while wine club members can retreat to the upstairs Loft for more intimate gatherings. With flights, glasses, and bottles to enjoy, a wine club offering curated Virginia and Burgundy shipments, and curated events throughout the year, Michael Shaps Wineworks celebrates craftsmanship and the evolving story of Virginia wine.
