Our Virginia Wine Experience

-
According to this site, Virginia Wine, there are 262 wineries in Virginia.  When we were in Staunton a few weeks ago we knew we had to visit a few wineries.  Josh was doing some work so it was Baby Jane, Erica, and I who would venture out to find some wine.  Don't worry Jane did not indulge. 
The first stop was Pippin Hill Farm.
I have been to Pippin Hill several times.  The view is amazing, the property beautiful, the wine delicious and there is delicious food to go along with the wine.  


Next, we stopped at King Family Vineyards. At this vineyard, you can sip your wine and watch a polo match.  What fun!  They were not having a match the day we visited so I will need to return.



Another fun stop was Hill Top Winery and Meadery 
Here was the tasting menu.
My favorite was Oracle and I also enjoyed the Sweet Melon




We decided to pick up a couple of bottles of wine in Staunton Va.  
We stopped at Ox-Eye Vineyards Tasting Room
We took our bottle of wine back to the farm had a drink at the farmstead.  
A peaceful relaxed evening.

Virginia seems to have so many beautiful wineries.  I would love to visit all of them but with over 200 that would be a bit difficult.  Once this COVID nonsense is over I hope to go back to Va and take a wine tour
Here is a link to some of the tours in Va if you are interested.

Happy Wine Sipping Everyone!

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website. "Family owned and operated, Linville Falls Winery is the culmination of a life-long passion for wine by owner, Jack Wiseman. Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina. Nestled in the lower end of Avery County near the Blue Ridge Parkway is a state of the art tasting room...
