Sure neighbors need to realize that a winery is a business and that the vineyards are like having a farm next door. Hours can\u2019t be just the traditional 9am to 5pm. However the benefits of having a winery in your own back yard appear to outweigh these inconveniences.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t believe that people realize some of the benefits in having a nearby winery\/vineyard. In addition to the preservation of land by vineyards, there are other benefits. Many people may not realize the extent that wineries may go to help build community. Numerous wineries support the community with charity events or donations.<\/p>\n<p>One fine example of \u00a0a winery supporting its community is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarara.com\/\"><strong>Tarara Winery<\/strong><\/a> in Leesburg, Virginia. Tarara Winery has a program for Charitable Giving called \u201cPour a Little More\u201d (PALM). PALM helps charities by offering a program \u2013 on Tuesdays a portion of proceeds is donated to a local group.\u00a0 In addition, Tarara Winery creates events to support these organizations.\u00a0 Community groups that benefit from Tarara\u2019s generosity include PotomacLoudoun Literacy Council, Operation Pinecone, Habitat for Humanity, Loudoun Abused Women\u2019s Shelter, Lucketts Volunteer Fire Department and the Loudoun Arts Council.<\/p>\n<p>If you know of a winery that supports communities and charities, please let me know and I\u2019ll write about it.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!
