Mermaid Winery & Restaurant · Norfolk
Wine Enthusiast's Hampton Roads guide describes Mermaid Winery as the region's urban winery, producing in Norfolk's Ghent since 2012. Beyond the by-the-glass list, it makes wine on site, which is what puts it in the wineries column rather than only among wine bars. Visit to taste the house production alongside the broader international pours. Norfolk's anchor for city-made wine.
Waters Edge Winery & Bistro Norfolk
Coastal Virginia Magazine's coverage of the 2024 CoVa WineFest reported that Waters Edge Winery won Best Winery Overall at the event. The Hampton Boulevard operation near Old Dominion produces its own wine on site and runs a bistro alongside the tasting room. Come to taste the house-made bottlings and stay for a plate. A production-focused winery inside the city rather than out in the countryside.
Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant · Virginia Beach
Coastal Virginia Magazine ran a feature on Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant when its Virginia Beach location opened, talking wine with GM and Master Sommelier Emily Wines about pours like the Nightjar and an almond sparkling, plus dishes such as Asian pork belly tostadas and barramundi. This is the Lynnhaven location. It pairs a broad house wine program with a full restaurant, a polished, larger-format take on the winery visit.
