A new farm winery with a lakefront view sits on Lake Manassas in Gainesville.
The Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm is a farm winery and craft brewery, locally owned by family friends Maria Rafferty and Tom Schrade.Â
"As both families' kids were grown and went to college and out of the house, he and I both just kind of found ourselves wanting to figure out some kind of the second career," said Maria Rafferty, co-owner of the Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farms. "We just talked about doing something we would both enjoy, and that ended up being the winery."
