Gray Ghost Vineyards – Taste & Tour
Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery might possibly be the most recommended winery I've come to know. Because Gray Ghost is local to my area, I had waited to visit since I could do so without prearranged planning. Turns out that was like waiting to cash in a winning lottery ticket. Get comfy because I've got a lot to tell (and show) you! I'm celebrating a milestone of sorts: This is my 20th Virginia Winery Taste and Tour post! So I wanted it to be special. As you may remember from my ...
Effingham Manor Winery – Taste & Tour
October is Virginia Wine Month. What better way to celebrate than visiting Virginia's newest winery? Effingham Manor Winery, located in Nokesville (Northern Virginia), had been on my radar long before their opening. Their wines were available for purchase--and were winning awards--before their tasting room and historic manor were open to the public. As tempted as I was to give their vinos a try, I was determined to wait for their opening to gain the full experience. Definitely worth the ...
Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn – Taste & Tour

You'd be hard pressed to find a member of your group who won't find something endearing about this winery. The Winery . . . As soon as you turn down the gravel ...

Paradise Springs Winery – Taste & Tour
If you've ever visited Fairfax County in Virginia, what might stick in your mind is the sprawling Tysons skyline or the unbearable traffic you suffered circumnavigating the west side of Washington. Starting right now what you should remember is this: Paradise Springs Winery. Fairfax County's first (and as far as I can tell, only) winery. And while it's the closest winery to the District, proximity should not be the reason you visit. Read on to find out why. Paradise Springs Winery is ...
Breaux Vineyards – Taste & Tour
In the far northern corner of Virginia, just a few miles from both Maryland and West Virginia, resides one of Virginia's most glorious winemaking regions. Loudoun County boasts dozens of wonderful wineries. And if they were laid across the rolling hills like some spectacular constellation, Breaux Vineyards could arguably be its Polaris. As grand as it is delightful, Breaux understands not only winemaking, but the overall wine experience. Located in one of Virginia's most densely populated ...
Morais Vineyards & Winery – Taste & Tour
Tucked far behind a low-profile white rock wall in Bealeton, Virginia, Morais Vineyards and Winery appears to be another historic Virginia estate. In the blur of your peripheral vision as you speed up US 17, you might not give it a second glance. But what lies at the end of the windswept lane is certainly worth more than a glimpse. As you wind up the 180-acre property, the grounds are manicured and evenly blended with vines and landscaping. Both grand and slightly whimsical, the property ...
