Chateau Morrisette is bringing their wine right to downtown Roanoke.

The Floyd-based winery is opening a tasting room downtown, directly across from the Taubman Art Museum.

Owner David Morrisette says it seemed like a natural progression for the company.

Here you'll be able to sample - as well as buy by the bottle or glass.

They say they want to support their largest customer base.

"We just wanted to give something back to Roanoke just to thank them and give them a little bit more so if it's a rainy day or they just want a glass of wine they can come here instead of driving up to the mountain," Morrisette said.

Morrisette says they hope to be open by mid-July.
