Isy’s Story

"Everyone has a dream, and I think that it's 'the drive' inside that determines whether that dream stays a dream or becomes a reality."

"My parents, Nora & Jesus Borjón, came to the Shenandoah Valley at a very young age. My mother being a house wife, and a mother of three, and my father was a vineyard worker. Doing almost every job that can be done in a vineyard, from tractor work to harvesting grapes.This went on for sometime. Until that 'drive' kicked in."

"I think it's the same in any industry. Every employee is always looking up 'the ladder'. Dreaming of what it would be like to be at the top. My father knew that it wouldn't be easy but he was determined and had that 'drive'… So, my parents worked hard, saved as much money as they could and began a small labor contracting company that, in 18 years, expanded to a size they never imagined. The company is still in business. Bigger than ever and now owned and operated by me."

"Growing up around all the vineyards and wineries in the area, I began to have my own dream. Knowing that it also was a dream that my father had, probably added to my drive of owning my own winery. Now married to my beautiful wife, Eliana, we put everything we could into creating a more secure future for us and our family."
