Virginia

Whether you are visiting our nation’s capitol or hiking the Appalachian Trail through Virginia, you are not far from wineries with style. Virginia’s wineries are divided into seven regions. More wineries are coming on board each year. A number of wine trails exist in Virginia but not all wineries belong to the wine trails. Be sure not to miss the gem wineries that do not belong to a wine trail.

Visit large wineries and small boutique wineries. You are almost sure to find wineries you will enjoy visiting time after time. Explore the world of wines that Virginia has to offer. Grapes that thrive in Virginia include Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Riesling, Vidal Blanc, Seyval Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Norton, Petit Verdot and Chambourcin. Some of the Virginia wineries also produce wine made from blackberries, raspberries, apples, peaches, pears, blueberries and strawberries. A grape variety to keep watch on is Petit Manseng. This versatile white grape grows well in the state and a winemaker can produce wines from very dry to dessert.
