Taste Of Things To Come
CrossKeys Winery Gives Preview Of New Operation
by Jeff Mellott
CROSS KEYS - Rockingham County's only winery is set to debut Memorial Day weekend.
But CrossKeys Vineyards owners Bob and Nikoo Bakhtiar opened the doors to neighbors Thursday and to an invitation-only gathering Friday for tours and taste-testing.
Sited on 125 acres of rolling hills in southeastern Rockingham County, the winery aspires to be a community center, much as the Cross Keys Tavern had been, said winery General Manager Mark Parsons.
The tavern, built more than a half-century before the Civil War, once stood on Cross Keys Road, about two miles from the winery.
Visitors to the former two-story wooden structure were once greeted by the symbol of two keys crossed. CrossKeys Vineyards, 6011 Timber Ridge Road, uses the same symbol to greet visitors to the Tuscan-style winery building, which matches the nearby estate house completed four years ago.
