Virginia Wineries
Special to Road Trips for Foodies
By Virginia Tourism Corporation
With almost 300 wineries scattered across seven different American Viticultural Areas, Virginia continues to be the 5th largest wine producing region in the U.S. The sheer number isn’t what stands out to those who know great wine.
The 400-year history behind the vines, the unforgettable experiences, the awe-inspiring scenery, the incredible food matched with a glass, and of course, the world-class quality that you taste in a Virginia bottle makes it easy to see why Virginia is for Wine Lovers.
Virginia also provides convenient access to its wine regions. Joining the many wine trails across Virginia is the Southwest Virginia Wine Trail. The trail includes all wineries in Southwest Virginia’s 19 county footprint.
Loudoun County, known as DC’s Wine Country, created the LoCo Wine Pass. With more than 40 wineries in Loudoun County, more than any other region in Virginia, it’s hard to choose which ones to visit during a weekend trip or for a day. The passport offers exclusive perks to more than 22 wineries, helping you narrow the field, just a drop.
