History
Located at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Lazy Days Vineyard & Winery offers a broad spectacular view of the natural beauty of Virginia. Close to both Charlottesville and Lynchburg, it's easy to reach Lazy Days and enjoy our Virginia wines. The first grapes were planted here in 2007. You can try our wines and buy a bottle or a case to take home some of our local flavor and some wonderful varietals. The Lazy Days Winery is situated in beautiful Amherst County and builds on more than just the local land. The old Amherst Livestock Pavilion has been converted and turned into a rustic, comfortable tasting room and event area. The vineyard was planted at the center of three acres surrounded by a large green lawn, a tree-lined hill, and the new winery. We've carefully planned our location and layout to host tours, weddings, musical performances, and festivals.
