Chrysalis
Although the wine gets mixed reviews, Chrysalis Vineyards is one of the most convenient wineries in the area, blessed with a great location, and offers some of the best amenities
This vineyard has a large stone grill, perfect for grilling burgers while enjoying a bottle of their Rubiana. There are some nicely shaded options in a slightly more developed vineyard than other options.
One customer described the wine as very drinkable but another said that she couldn't find anything she liked here. Fortunately, as a larger vineyard, it has a bigger variety to choose from. The pour, however, was described as small.
Inside line - grill on from 10-4. Mixed wine reviews, with a better selection than most. Perfect lunch stopover with concrete pads for the tables and lots of outdoor tasting booths.
Vineyards Tour Today – Reviewing the wineries!
We are proud to support Virginia's wineries, an up-and-coming set of wineries in the fabulouly beautiful rolling foothills of the Appalachians. Today we are conducting a tour of some of these vineyards. We will be blogging about the individual wineries, helping you and your drivers to be experts in local wine and culture.
Our base for the today will be Middleburg, VA. One of the most wealthy and beautiful places to visit in the Mid-Atlantic, Middleburg has a fabulous collection of historic free-stone walls. These free-stone walls are built without mortar, created by simply stacking stones on top of each other. It seems straight out of Macchu Picchu. They make a wonderful architectural detail, lining route 50 and most of the older properties in the region.
We currently have Chrysalis, Piedmont and Swedenburg vineyards on the list, and will put up individual posts as we visit each one.
