Founded in 1999 by Patricia and Andrew Hodson, Veritas Vineyard & Winery was established in Nelson County, Virginia, based on the conviction that the Blue Ridge foothills could produce world-class wines and a level of hospitality rarely seen in the region. Over 27 years, that argument has proven correct. Veritas today stands among Virginia’s most awarded, most visited, and most respected wine estates — a benchmark property whose standards have helped raise those of the entire region.
From the outset, the Hodsons conceived of Veritas as a complete wine country experience. Alongside the winery and production facilities, they developed a welcoming tasting room, a grand ballroom event venue, and The Farmhouse at Veritas, an eight-bedroom luxury bed and breakfast that became one of Virginia’s premier wine country lodging destinations. Alongside its own wine program, the on-site custom crush program provides production services to other Virginia winemakers, making Veritas not just a producer but a contributor to the broader Virginia wine ecosystem.
This integrated estate model- wine, hospitality, dining, and events on a single property- was forward-thinking for Virginia wine when it was conceived. It is now the template the new ownership group intends to expand.
