King Family Vineyards is a family‑owned winery located in Crozet, Virginia, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge and about fifteen minutes from Charlottesville. It produces ultra‑premium wines drawn from estate grapes that highlight the Monticello AVA's terroir, with winemaker Matthieu Finot guiding a style that blends old‑world influence with Virginia expression. The operation emphasizes high‑quality, site‑driven wines rather than high volume, and sits within the beverage manufacturing sector as a small to mid‑sized winery. Its base in Crozet anchors its identity in Virginia wine country, reflecting a focus on terroir and craft. Recent recognition includes winning the 2024 Virginia Governor's Cup for its 2019 Meritage and earning a silver medal for packaging at the 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The winery has pursued brand and experiential initiatives, such as a 2022 Seine River wine cruise organized in partnership with The Travel Corner, and in 2025 releasing Cornus Virginicus IV in collaboration with the First Lady of Virginia. These activities illustrate a program that combines notable wine releases with collaborative and experiential projects, alongside ongoing winery production.
