About Chatham Vineyards on Church Creek
Chatham farms a 1640s land grant on the Eastern Shore: Jon Wehner's Machipongo estate grows maritime-cooled vines between the Chesapeake and Atlantic, the steel-fermented Church Creek Chardonnay a state benchmark, kayak-to-the-winery paddles making the visit literal waterfront. Colonial-deed ground and briny-fresh whites built the Shore's flagship. The bay's own Chardonnay.
The tasting room address is 9232 Chatham Road, Machipongo. Plan around the schedule: Daily 10am-5pm. Sources list wheelchair access at the tasting room; check with the winery about anything more specific. Hours and tasting formats change with the season, so a quick call to (757) 678-5588 before you go is worth the minute.
