Are those wineries in Nellysford, VA?

Thanks,

I think you do your readers a disservice by not covering these wineries.

Yeah, Jaydee, its not TA's fault that you aren't seeing much information about Virginia wineries. The information here depends on the folks who visit these places to be kind enough to take a few minutes and tell about their visit- or have a conversation such as this one.

For whatever reason, the wineries in Virginia don't get much written about them anywhere; wine-related forums don't see much Virginia-related talk, either.

Glad you started this conversation, though. Now maybe there will be some more activity on the subject for all of us to read. I've been trying to learn more about VA wineries for nearly a year, but reviews and announcements seem to be few and far between.

Would you please give some more information about the wineries you mentioned? Either as a review, as requested by TA, or here on the thread? Stuff like the kinds of wine they offer and what you liked or disliked about the facilities and/or the wine would be appreciated.

Guys, I don't work for TA--I am just another traveler who has access to the internet.

But this is how the forums and review sections work--an exchange of information between fellow travelers.

I've visited many Va wineries. Some of my favorites are Jefferson, Potomac Pt., Barborsville, Keswick, Kluge (now Trump), Horton, Afton and Ingleside. I'm sure there are others I've enjoyed but can't think of their names. Anyway, the ones mentioned have great atmosphere and very good wines and are located in the Charlottesville or Fredericksburg areas. I haven't been to Loudoun County yet but am planning a visit. I know there are some wonderful wineries up there and I'm looking forward to checking them out.

Tarara is a nice place, decent wines (I liked a few, didn't care for a few as is usually the case when one is wine tasting) but they have concerts outside in the summers that are awesome!

Bogati Bodega has some wonderful wines, is much smaller than Tarara.

Quattro Goombas is a newer winery with some decent reds and a neat name. When I was there they had a little artisans market going on which was fun to browse.

Hi Amy,

You might be surprised to know that you do not have to travel to northern VA to find great Virginia wine.

Just north of the NC/VA border you can start your journey on the Southern Virginia Wine Trail:

And no, I am not in any way connected to *any* of these fine establishments, but I have visited a few myself. :)
