Virginia Wine Country
Speaking of, here’s another breathtaking place that has more than 250 wineries. So wait — you may say — there is a place outside of Napa that has that many wineries? Yep, that’s Virginia Wine Country, a region with over 250 wineries and tasting rooms spread across the state.
You may also be wondering when that happened. Well, some hundreds of years ago, when President Thomas Jefferson wanted to start a wine revolution in Virginia.
Nowadays, you can take your car — or rent one — and drive from the Chesapeake Bay to Blue Ridge, sampling the cab francs or chardonnay the region is best known for.
Greenhill Winery is beyond astonishing with its rolling hills, stone buildings, and — what makes the whole experience even better — bottles of blanc de blancs.
