Husband and I LOVE wine, and have frequented many a Virginia Vineyard! Here is our list of where we have been, and a short review of each.
VA is known mostly for their white wines, like Viognier and Traminette.
*Favorites
Gadino Cellars - Washington, VA
-Fav Vino - EVERYTHING! Seriously, we love this place. We have been going since their beginning, and they make really great reds, and have convinced us to drink more whites.
*Certified Virginia Green Winery, pretty sure tastings are free, they frequently have live music and have bocce courts and sometimes have off-site food and wine paired dinners.
~Virginia makes wine, Napa makes auto parts (a sign at Gadino) =)
Barrel Oak Winery - BOW - Delaplane, VA
-Fav Vino - Petit Verdot
*We love this winery, because they love dogs! We bring ours and always have a great time tasting and sitting outside on the picnic tables listening to some great music!
Gray Ghost Vineyards - Amissville, VA
-Fav Vino - Ranger
*This winery has really fun events. One year we did a tasting right out of the barrel, and did our own blends.
VA Winery Reviews
Quattro Goomba- Aldie, VA
-Fav Vino - Wine Frappe - a yummy frozen wine bevvy & their dessert wine Vino Dolce
*$5 tastings, dogs & kiddos welcome
-This winery was decent, I enjoyed the creative "wine frappe", but found it strange that they offer tastings from wines in California?? Worth checking out once.
