From VT Graduate’s Family Recipe to Reopening Wineries: A Taste of Hampton Roads’ Entrepreneurship and Wine Scene

Virginia Tech graduate Tahjere Lewis’ company, Aunt Carol’s Gravy, will be available in 70 Food Lion stores in Hampton Roads starting next month. Lewis turned a family recipe into a commercially available product and has continued his entrepreneurship since then. The 24-year-old lives in Hampton Roads.

Meanwhile, region wineries are reopening for the season. AmRhein’s Vine Cellars in Bent Mountain announced that their tasting room will open on April 6th, while Villa Appalaccia Winery just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Patrick County exceeded expectations at its March 15 opening. “People are just dying to come back,” co-owner Julie Block said.

In other wine news, Stanburn Winery in Stuart announced on social media that it will close after the upcoming season.
