The Highlands of Southwest Virginia has been the epicenter of the spirits trade for over 200 years. The Scots and Irish plied their trade illegally, under the cover of night. Pursued relentlessly by the “Revenuers”, the cat and mouse game continues to this day. We aim to keep this tradition alive for you to experience, albeit “legally”. We are producing hand-crafted, small-batch, award-winning products… moonshine, whisky and bourbon. All of our products celebrate our local heritage.
We are Marion, Virginia’s hometown brewery located in Downtown Marion at the corner of N. Chestnut and E. Strother Streets featuring craft beer for any taste!
OWNERS RUSTY & RUTH RHEA COX invite you to visit DAVIS VALLEY WINERY & Distillery in the beautiful mountains of Southwestern Virginia, just minutes from Interstate 81 at Exit #54 (Groseclose Exit). Sample our wines on a 100-year old oak bar, tour the winery, browse the gift shop, or just sit on the veranda and enjoy the spectacular view. Davis Valley Distillery is a small-batch, craft distillery producing premium spirits in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwestern Virginia. Access to locally-grown grains and fruits, combined with limestone-filtered mountain spring water, give our spirits a noticeably clean, pure, and exceptionally smooth character
