Virginia Chutney Company

Based in Rappahannock County, the Virginia Chutney Company is owned and operated by the Turner family - Clare, Nevill, Oliver, and Christopher. After moving to Washington, VA, East African-born Clare Turner soon discovered that the American South had a rich tradition of chutney-making. With the knowledge that the ingredients and applications in chutney reflect the local region, the Turner family focused on local products, avoiding the use of use any additives.

"Clare Turner, an Englishwoman who grew up in East Africa, has merged her country's chutney wisdom with Southern recipes. The results are full of fruits, instead of gooey syrups."

New York Times

"Clare considered the sweet, tangy condiment an everyday staple, a comfort food. When she found an old chutney recipe by the famous Southern cook Edna Lewis, she began to experiment and the Virginia Chutney Company was born."

Nica-Art - Nicaraguan Pottery

If you ask Chris Welke, owner of nica-art about his journey from New Jersey to Central America, he will tell you, “Its long story… after being on the observation deck of one of the Twin Towers in NY, 30 hours before it fell, I headed to Costa Rica in search of meaning...” Chris later moved to Nicaragua looking for adventure, fun, and the hopes of a story to tell. Nine years later, he tells a great story through the 44 artists he represents from the unassuming town of San Juan de Oriente, in Nicaragua.

After a very lengthy process of hand crafting pottery, burnishing and painting using the traditional “engove” method, then baking in kilns constructed of local materials, these artisans create uniquely beautiful pieces reflecting their collective spirit. Chrysalis Vineyards is proud to present to you one of the newest artisans to join our team of festival vendors showcasing the best Nicaraguan Pottery available.
