ABOUT US
Vineyard Wine Club Benefits
Gloucester’s 1st Winery
Chef Zoll planted his roots along with several acres of grapes, blackberries and a farm to table garden in 2018. In November of 2019, Zoll Vineyards opened its doors to the public.
Chef Zoll- owner, pastry chef and vintner emeritus has created award winning wines since 2005. Upon his opening, his vision for Zoll Vineyards was to create delectable food and beverage pairings for his guests. Today his vision has grown exponentially- creating not just amazing pairings, but also providing a space for guests and the community to come together making memories that last a lifetime.
The winery estate sits on 16.5 beautiful acres, right on the Gloucester Mathews County lines on RT. 198 in Tidewater Virginia. The winery offers a modest but charming tasting room, a large dog friendly patio, our private event space-The Great Room, playground for the kids, harvest host parking, & trails to walk the dogs.

THE TEAM
Frank Zoll
Frank Zoll, Pastry Chef & Vintner has been making award winning wines since 2005. Zoll Cellars operated in the cellar level of Frank Zoll’s residence until 2017 when he decided to move south and grow grapes in a warmer climate and Zoll Vineyards was born. Frank Zoll Pastry Chef, Winemaker, and General Manager handles the day to day operations of creating the wines, pairing menu, festivals, & in house events.
Frank Zoll graduated from Johnson & Wales University in 1997 with a degree in Baking & Pastry Arts and went on to work for the Ritz Carlton Boston, Tavern on the Green, Marriott Marquis, and the Boston Copley Marriott as a Pastry Chef until 2005.
He taught himself to make wine in 2001 from a family wine making kit and started winning awards in 2005 to present. The Reserve and Mariners Blend are the first award winning Virginia wines. I am most proud of our Gold medal Chardonnay & Petit Verdot that we made during covid. Even at what seems like the worst of times we can still find the gold lining!) Chef Zolls favorite wine from his cellar is the non vintage Reserve. This is a blend of 14 Cab Franc, 16, Cab Franc, 14 Cab Sav, & 15 Marquette. This wine has aromas of toasted coconut, chocolate covered strawberries.
