In 1980, Steve West opened the second
winery in the state, West-Whitehill
Winery. Located
between the
two mountain
valley towns
of Moorefield
and Petersburg
in the Potomac
Highlands, the
farm winery
now produces around 12,000 gallons of
wine per year. Selling at approximately
145 retailers, West-Whitehill Winery
distributes products all around the
state. It is best known for its sweet
wines, like Mountain Spice, a rich
dessert wine that can be served warm,
and the award-winning Raspberry
Royale, a sweet red wine made with
a blend of Aurore grapes and red
raspberries. West-Whitehill Winery
welcomes visitors for tastings and tours
Tuesday-Saturday, 1-5 p.m., and their
products can be seen at the Mountain
State’s best festivals, including the
West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival
in Morgantown.

see a tractor, fences, farm animals
and lush green grass, which adds to

Owners Craig and Candice Bandy
say wines are like people—each year

specialize in traditional dry whites
and reds, they also produce sweet
wines. All of the winery’s products
are wholesome and clean with no
additives.
