HEARTS DELIGHT Q&A
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
A: People are generally surprised to know how much of a reader I am. Ever since about 4th grade, I’ve pretty much always had a book in hand. It’s my favorite way to understand the world.
Q: What would you eat for your last meal and who would be there with you?
A: My wife and daughter would be there. Sarah would have whole fish, my daughter would have mac and cheese, and I’d have a fifteen year old bottle of vintage Champagne.

Sarah and Nate Walsh are firmly dedicated to the production and sales of premium wine.
Nate Walsh is a career winegrower. Starting as a cellar rat at Horton Vineyards, in Central, Virginia, he went on to work in vineyards and wineries in the Willamette Valley and Central Otago, New Zealand, before spending seven years as the winemaker and vineyard manager for Sunset Hills Vineyard, in Purcellville, Virginia, during a time of large expansion. It was during this time that he began searching for a site from which he knew one could create truly premium Virginia wine.
Sarah, conversely, comes from a background of fine dining, fine wine sales, and wine education. Beginning her career at restaurants in Chicago, Atlanta, and Northern Virginia, Sarah shifted into fine wine sales, working for a wholesaler/importer on the East Coast. She holds a Diploma from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust.
Sarah and Nate met in 2012, married in 2013, and founded Walsh Family Wine in 2014. This winery project was founded on the principal of vineyard-designate wines from premium sites in Northern Virginia.
Walsh Family Wine farms 50 acres of vines over 5 distinct sites.
