SilverLining Design was awarded a Silver ADDY for excellence in packaging for the Cabernet Franc Reserve wine labels for The Homeplace Vineyard in Chatham, Virginia. “It is an honor to work with

The Client:
The Homeplace Vineyard is a family winery in Chatham, Virginia. The vineyard was started in 2004, but the family farm has spanned four generations since their ancestors purchased the property in 1912.

The Project: 
The Homeplace Vineyard decided to make a small batch of Cabernet Franc Reserve from their 2019 harvest and they wanted it to be premium quality throughout. Not only did they put the extra effort into the making and care of the grapes and wine, they wanted to carry that across to all aspects of the wine experience from the bottle to the labels. They contacted us about designing this exclusive label. This label has a quality paper along with rich colors and gold foil to create a sophisticated and premium look and feel to match the product inside.

The Roanoke Chapter of the American Advertising Federation awarded a Silver ADDY to Silverlining Design for a print advertisement for Patrick County Tourism at the 2024 Western Virginia American Advertising Awards. The entire competition had 134 entries from ad agencies, design shops, and in-house creative teams from across the western half of the state. We are proud of our work with clients and it means so much to be recognized by our peers in the industry.

The Client:
Patrick County Tourism Department strives to enhance the tourism industry and promote economic growth throughout Patrick County through tourism-related business development, marketing, promotion, education, and activities that contribute to the quality of the Patrick County tourism experience.

The Project: 
A print ad for the Virginia Travel Guide. There are many pages and numerous ads in this publication, so the goal was to speak to travelers looking to venture into areas like Patrick County. Because it is a rural setting with the mountains as a backdrop, SilverLining Design developed the headline “Get Outta Town” as a tongue-in-cheek play on the number of visitors from towns and cities that come to the mountains to get away. The response for this ad was enthusiastically positive and went on to be placed into several other publications.
