The Grand Opening Celebration will occur on Saturday, Oct. 7, in the farm’s historic tobacco barn’s newly renovated tasting room, located at 15800 Croom Road, Brandywine, according to a press release.

“We take great pride in growing quality fruit and making premium wines. After many years of planning and preparing, we’re excited to take this next step by opening our tasting room doors to the public,” said Susan Watson-White, farm owner, in the release.

The celebration will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony at noon, and continue throughout the day with live music, food trucks, wine tastings, and sales by the glass or bottle, until festivities come to a close at 6 p.m. Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards will host regular tasting room hours on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Oct.14.

The tasting room is decorated to reflect the farms history, and has an expansive wrap around porch that overlooks the dramatic views of the vineyard. The public is invited to visit, sip and relax while enjoying the picturesque view, according to the release.
