More Virginia Wine

Given the huge number of wineries in the state of Virginia, it may not be practical for the average connoisseur to visit each and every one. This is why this weekend's (June 5th and 6th) Vintage Virginia festival is such a treat. Fifty of the state's top wineries will be presenting their offerings, showcasing a wide variety of wines  from Virginia's five distinct growing regions. In addition, local artists and craftsmen will be selling their wares, and there will be a variety of local foods - you'll want something to eat after all that wine.

If you can't make it to the festival, the Washington Post also has a great guide to the best wineries and vineyards to visit in Virginia. We've already written about Chrysalis, but until we get to write about more, we encourage you to check out the places on the list.
