ABOUT US

Abingdon Vineyards was founded in 2001 by retired engineers, Bob Carlson & Janet Nordin. In the summer of 2018, the Gardners moved from California to Virginia to build the legacy. Abingdon Vineyards is truly a community effort with a wonderful team & many volunteers that help tend to the land, grapes, wine & guests!

Micah, Chandler, Adam & Loren take excellent care of our 13 acres of grapes and craft incredible wine from the harvest.

Owner, Loren Gardner, grew up in Napa Valley, studied viticulture and wine making at UC Davis, and built wineries and vineyards with his construction company.

Vineyard Manager and Cellar Master, Adam Bolt, began his career at Abingdon Vineyards before spending 4 years developing the viticulture program at Nicewonder Vineyards. He is now back at Abingdon Vineyards, which he calls "home."
