Daring Wine & Cider Company
621 Kelly Mill Rd, Stuart, VA 24171
Daring Wine & Cider 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). It seems only fitting that nearly 20 years later they are launching their brand with grapes and apples grown and vinified in SWVA. Their vision in 2021 grew from fruit without a home, a winery with space available, and meraki- a Greek word for doing something with soul, creativity, or love; to leave a piece of yourself in your work. This work is about what you do when you want to share yourself with those you love.
