Event Details

As a grape grower and winemaker, Lee Hartman is excited to make a large variety of different wines using many different techniques. But as a wine consumer, none of this is enough. He wants to see what different winemakers are doing as well. In a new event series, we are inviting guest winemakers to our tasting room to learn about what they are doing. Come have a flight and hear their stories about where the grapes are grown, how the wines are made, where else in the world they’ve worked, and go home with some bottles that are only available in our tasting room for one night only.

For our fourth round of this event, our guests are brothers Ben (Lightwell) and Tim Jordan (Midland). Ben Jordan previously held the position of GM and Winemaker with Michael Shaps Wineworks. He now oversees all aspects of winemaking, vineyards, and production at Early Mountain Vineyard while being a partner in a smaller label of Lightwell Survey that is wine made from the Shenandoah Valley. Tim Jordan has risen from a cellar rat to vineyard manager to head winemaker. He is now vine-to-wine consultant while tending to his family wine project, Midland Construction.

Event Details

Drink local, read local!

Charlottesville-based author Chris Register will be visiting Horton Vineyards on Saturday, March 21. Come enjoy our beautiful views and award-winning wines while chatting with Chris about his epic bicycle journey into America. You can also pick up a personalized, signed copy of his recently-released book, Conversations With US – American Southwest.

From publisher Spoke & Word Books:

Concerned about the increasing sense of division in America, Chris Register ditched a career in law and set forth on a pedal-powered odyssey across the United States, seeking to rediscover the shared values and experiences that make us a nation. Conducting one interview per day over a cumulative year, he heard from ranchers, bankers, drug addicts, musicians, autoworkers, and other everyday Americans who could spare a few minutes for a chat. His hundreds of conversations and 16,000 miles of solo cross-country cycling are now being compiled into the Conversations With US book series. Chris will be on hand to discuss everything from the technical aspects of a long-distance bike tour to the lessons he learned and ways his perspectives changed while exploring this vast, diverse country. His Surly Long Haul Trucker touring bicycle will be present, too!
