What is the Vineyard District?

The Vineyard District is a special community dedicated to the vineyard lifestyle comprised of Vineyard Estates, Lantern Cove, and Messina Hof Winery, which is the heart of the Vineyard District. Residents are members of the Messina Hof extended family as VIPs. All surrounding subdivisions and businesses are not a part of the Vineyard District, but are occasionally featured on our blog and on our map page “In the Neighborhood.”
