What to Expect
Let’s get the holidays launched with some great shopping from local artisan vendors! Find unique items for everyone on your list.
This is our annual Holiday Sip and Shop Event in the rustic pavilion at Gioia dell’Amore Cellars. Come on out and enjoy music, food, drinks and of course SHOPPING from our local artists! From woodworking masterpieces, to hand made kitchen items, candles, lotions, scents, homemade treats and decor, there is something for everyone on your list!
We will be serving up Gioia dell’Amore wine, including our soon to be released “Glowing Ember”. This is an all estate grown Chambourcin wine created in the Norwegian Glogg style. Notes of cinnamon, ginger, anise and dried orange highlight this sweet red wine. It is perfect for pairing with cranberry, turkey, ham, dressing, and of course pecan pie!

Gioia dell’Amore Cellars is a 96-acre vineyard, winery, wedding venue, and cabin rental facility nestled in the rolling hills of Rockingham County among the vines of Autumn Creek Vineyards. Born out of the owners’ love of family and wine, Gioia dell’Amore Cellars endeavors to share these passions in its romantic, rustic country setting where it aims to “Scatter Joy!” to its community and customers.
We know there has been a learning curve with the pronunciation of our Italian name, Gioia dell’Amore Cellars. The name i “Joy of Love” in Italian. So many of you have worked to get that first word down (pronounced “Joy-A”). Of course we always say, just call us the Amore winery and we are great with that! We also LOVE the Autumn Creek name and the vineyard property will always carry this name. We only augmented the name because of our story and the fact that Laura’s late sister was involved in creating the name, and the logo.
