Vint Hill Craft Winery, Virginia<\/p><\/div>\n

This time of year provides the opportunity to visit wineries during the height of the harvest season. There is a busyness that permeates the winery scene in the vineyards, wineries and tasting rooms. Watch and enjoy; if a tour is available discover even more about the wines you like. Below is a list of activities coming up this week. Check with the wineries for details about events.<\/p>\n

If you are feeling creative consider making your own wine at a winery. We’ve made wine at Vint Hill Craft Winery<\/span><\/a><\/span> in Virginia and Tin Lizzie Wineworks<\/span><\/a><\/span> in Maryland. Quite a few wineries around the country offer wine enthusiasts the opportunity to make their own wine whether it’s a barrel or a case of wine. Don’t wait to sign up to produce your own wine; harvest time is already here.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
