No better way to spend the day. Capital Cooking‘s Lauren deSantis and VisitLoudoun.org led a group of DC food and lifestyle trendsetters through a few of NoVa’s family wineries Sunday afternoon. It’s a day that’s easy to duplicate thanks to the county’s new Wine Country Touring Guide. Here are some highlights – and video of the great grape getaway…
Virgina’s first duo winery/brewery at Corcoran is truly a boutique operation, producing a limited amount annually of highly antcipated bottles. Don’t miss the award winning Viognier, and just a few steps away at the Brewing Company, try Padawan Pumpkin, a favorite flavor for Fall. Monk’s BBQ is also here, making sauces from Corcoran wines/brews and serving up some major meat eats.
Hillsborough, an estate filled with great gardens and dazzling scenery, makes a coveted private event or wedding venue. It also makes a remarkable Garnet red — especially from 2007.
Sunset Hills, positioned in the Blue Ridge foothills, is a place not to be passed up…either for its Chardonnay or stunning sunset views. And if you’re into history, ask to see the Amish restoration photos!
