Keswick Vineyards is doing their best to be a good neighbor!
Come support our neighboring vineyards at the Albemarle County Office Building March 9th at 6 p.m. !
This is a reprint of Keswick’s blog that I felt should be seen by as many people as possible.
I got into winemaking for many reasons, the love of farming and definitely a love of wine. I get butterflies in my stomach when I see sweeping vineyards and land being farmed to create products that not only bring joy to customers, but also provide a much-needed boost into the economy of the surrounding areas.
It is with this in mind that I request your help regarding a certain matter, that not only affects us at Keswick Vineyards, but also potentially many other wineries in the county of Albemarle in the future. We opened our doors last year for weddings to be hosted on the property knowing that many a bride would want to say their vows surrounded by beautiful vineyards, with gorgeous views of the Southwest Mountains. What better way to start a new chapter in one’s life.
Albemarle County’s noise ordinance leaves much to personal interpretation, and dependent on the surrounding residents may be used to force the wineries to cease holding these events. It is with this in mind that I urge you to read the information regarding this ordinance, and if you feel like we do, to sign the petition as either a resident or non-resident of Albemarle County [there are two specific petitions].
Petition for Albemarle county residents
We are having a public hearing at the county office building on March 9th at 6pm and showing your support would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly
