Our Story
Harmony Wine & Castle Hill Cider
A creative collaboration brings Daze of Rosé to life.
About Harmony Wine
Harmony Wine is a black-owned business focused on making wine accessible and approachable for all. Harmony Wine came to life from the idea that wine is “for everyone in all settings; as long as you have good company.” A business venture created by Matt Harmon during the pandemic, Harmony’s library of wines features grapes from both France and Virginia, including a Rosé. Cue Matt’s next idea: create a People’s Choice Rosé Competition. Collaborating with Castle Hill, the event became a fabulous spring day celebrating community, art, music, food – and of course – discovering which Virginia winery makes the best Rosé.
About Castle Hill Cider
Situated on 650 acres in Keswick, Virginia, Castle Hill Cider’s tasting room has been open since 2010. Its ground-to-glass cider has been the recipient of accolades and awards from the Virginia Governor’s Cup, San Francisco Chronicle, CIDERCRAFT, Garden & Gun, and more. A celebrated wedding venue, hosting upwards of 60 weddings per year, Castle Hill Cider has a tenured track record for planning and executing large scale events. Pre-pandemic, they hosted an annual CiderFest, bringing together cideries from around the state. Since 2022, Castle Hill Cider hosts and manages 231 Fest, the primary fundraising event for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, bringing together wineries and breweries on the Route 231 beverage trail for a festival featuring live music, tastings, and more – for a great cause.
