About V Toria Rhonda Vineyard & Winery

History Established in 2012 by Nekisha Charles, the granddaughter of Victoria Harper and Clement Harper who purchase the property in1967. The estate was first established as an Orange Orchard by her grandfather who managed the estate and grew other crops such as cocoa and coffee. Then it was turned into a sugar cane field for a few years and part of this property is currently in the process of being established as the first Vineyard and Winery in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean.

Our Founder

After spending a semester in London and travelling to other European countries like France, Italy and Switzerland, Nekisha developed a strong passion for wine and wine making. In 2001, after returning home she told her mother who was in the kitchen that she was going to establish a winery and was going to name it after her grandmother Victoria. Soon after she began experimenting various types of wines particularly fruit wines guided by the experience and knowledge of her mother Yvonne, who has been making wines since she was a teenager.

As a second generation winemaker, Nekisha Charles has been making an excellent selection of fruit wines. As her passion became stronger she gained experience while working for distributors one of which is the largest Wine and Spirits Distributor in the United States. A position that give her the experience and knowledge to make a dramatic shift in her career. After much research she decided to establish her own vineyard and winery on her family estate located in the south region of Trinidad and Tobago.
