We are a small family-owned winery in the heart of Spotsylvania County, with a passion for making a variety of wonderful wines for over 20 years. Originally, our log cabin was built by our family and friends, as we started a Christmas tree farm working with the National Forestry Department. The perfectly shaped White Pine and Norway Spruce trees will be for sell in the months of November and December. After you pick your tree, come in and warm up next to the fireplace in our tasting room with a nice warm glass of wine with mulling spices or hot chocolate.
Mike Evans is the wine maker for Mattaponi Winery. He continues to work a full-time job at
a lumber mill, and has never lost sight of his passion for fine wines. His extensive knowledge
and passion for perfection comes from generations of wine makers within his family, which provided
him the exposure to wine. Each new wine experience with the aromas and flavors to the life of art
and science gives him enthusiasm with endless discoveries.
Janette Evans is the Founder of Mattaponi Winery. With the help and gracious support of her family
and friends, the dream became reality. A three year cancer survivor, she is interested in supporting
the Avon Cancer Foundation with the super fruit wine Mattaponi Winery produces called Tibik-
Kizismin, known as the blueberry wine. Presently, she continues to support the Sierra Club, The
Alliance, to save the Mattaponi River. Greater challenges and opportunities awaits her as Mattaponi
Winery continues to grow.
