Valhalla Vineyards is located just outside of the Star City (Roanoke) on a 2,000 foot mountain. James and Debra Vascik acquired the property, then a peach orchard, in 1994. Ever the trendsetter, Valhalla was the first vineyard outside of California to plant Alicante Bouschet, and among the first to grow Syrah in Virginia. The vineyard’s decomposing granite soils and climate has been said to be similar to Rhone Valley
