Virginia's version of the Napa Wine Trail is just under an hours drive from Washington DC. The Blue Ridge WineWay, an alliance of the Commonwealths’ premier wineries, makes a perfect day trip, vacation escape or corporate outing! Eleven wineries are in the Blue Ridge Wineway: Fox Meadow Winery, Gadino Cellars, Gray Ghost Vineyards, LaGrange Winery, Mediterranean Cellars, Oasis Winery, Pearmund Cellars, Rappahannock Cellars, Stillhouse Vineyards, Three Fox Vineyards, Unicorn Winery, and Veramar Vineyards. Each of these vineyards offers their own distinct wines – Bordeaux from one vineyard will taste different taste than Bordeaux from another vineyard! The varieties are indeed endless.

The Monticello Wine Trail is an association of 21 wineries and vineyards with Charlottesville as the hub. The Trail is divided into four sections, making it easier to visit a different section in a day. The Northern Trail features Autumn Hill, King Family, Oakencroft, Stone Mountain, and White Hall. On the Western Trail, you can find Afton Mountain, Cardinal Point, Hill Top Berry Farm, Veritas, and Wintergreen. On the Eastern Trail, Barboursville, Burnley, Horton Cellars, and Keswick flourish; and the Southern Trail, DelFosse, First Colony, Jefferson, Kluge, and Mountain Cove offer their own delicious versions of wine.

The Bedford Wine Trail is an association of five vineyards and wineries: Hickory Hill, LeoGrande, Peaks of Otter, Savoy-Lee, and White Rock. In historic Shenandoah Valley, this wine trail is especially aesthetically pleasing, offering winding back roads through the countryside with gorgeous views.

Come enjoy the beauty of the Loudoun Valleys while driving the Loudoun Wine Trail that connects 13 wineries- Breaux, Chrysalis, Doukenie, Fabbioli Cellars, Hidden Brook, Hillsborough, Lost Creek, Loudoun Valley, Swedenburg Estate, Tarara, Village, Waterford, and Willowcroft Farm.

Virginia boasts a wide array of award-winning wines. Virginia wine is growing – in reputation, quality and customer devotion. Virginia’s wine industry has come a long way from its inception in 1608 and continues to grow exponentially. In 1979, Virginia had just six wineries, and a little over 15 years ago a total of 29 wineries were producing 75,000 cases of wine. By 2001, the Commonwealth's wine industry had grown to 75 wineries, producing more than 285,000 cases of wine. These fine wines from Virginia continue to garner national and international awards, including a recent “Best of Show” award in a California competition.

Virginia’s many wine trails across the state make visiting wineries easy and fun. Virginia’s Wineries events offer wine tasting, food, live music, art, shopping and activities, such as grape stomping and hot air balloons. Great wines, good food, special events and fun tours available year round. If trekking out to the vineyard is not possible, Virginia wines can be found throughout the state in retail outlets, restaurants, festivals and special events. Wines can also be purchased directly at the wineries. Remember, the earliest settlers made wine in Virginia in 1608, so while North Carolina may be first in flight…Virginia is first in wine!

Regardless of your final destination, Virginia’s Wineries are simply a must see and worth the trip. Let Virginia Tourists Guide assist you in finding the right vineyard for you.
