A Founding Winery in Virginia – Part 2 – A New Beginning

Randy and Meagan Morgan are native to Virginia and attended college at Virginia Tech. While in college, they developed a palate and passion for wine from all over the world. After graduation, Randy and Meagan moved up to Northern Virginia to start a life and fell further in love with the Virginia winery scene. Upon visiting Naked Mountain Winery, they enjoyed the property, the history, and of course, the wines - and discovered the winery in Markham was for sale. Deciding to take a true leap of faith, and with the support of family and friends, they took the reins of Naked Mountain in August of 2010.  Entering our 12th growing season with the Morgan family, we are excited at how much the vineyard properties have expanded (adding two vineyard sites), and how the tasting room has been enlarged (with an addition in 2017), as well as how the wines have developed and flourished (winning numerous medals and having been included in the Governor’s Case).  The future is bright here on the mountain.  For the first part of this article click here.   

** Founded in 1974, Naked Mountain has often been touted not only as “the best winery near me” but also as “one of the best Virginia wineries”.  We are also a dog friendly winery, a kid friendly winery, a winery with food, an event winery, and a proud member of the VA winery / VA wine and the VA vineyard /  Virginia vineyards community.  We offer wine tastings, wine flights, wine by the glass as well as wine by the bottle.  We offer winery reservations, wine club events, and (as a winery for weddings) a place for a vineyard wedding.  Many people looking for us often search for a winery in Delaplane, or a winery in Marshall, even as far as a winery in Front Royal, and we proudly count ourselves as a member of all of those communities.  We hope you will come visit us and DRINK NAKED!**
