Daring Wine Company

Daring Wine Company is truly a personal project for long-time friends Jocelyn Kuzelka and Megan Hereford. Jocelyn and Megan’s careers in the wine industry converged at a small Italian inspired winery in southwestern Virginia (SWVA), and it seems only fitting that nearly 20 years later they are launching their brand with grapes grown and vinified in SWVA. Their vision in 2021 grew from grapes without a home, a winery with space available, and meraki- Greek word for doing something with soul, creativity, or love; to leave a piece of yourself in your work. This work, however, is not about our careers and how hard we can work, it is about what you do when you want to share yourself with those you love.
With the launch of Daring Wine Company Jocelyn and Megan are continuing to shape their future in the Virginia wine industry. Starting with 2 single vineyard wines- a Chardonnay and a Barbera, grown from grapes in SWVA and a dry cider produced from blend of cider apples grown in central Virginia.
