It’s sure to be a unique and unforgettable experience, and it’s a great change of pace for things like hiking, biking, fishing, and shopping. Below, we’ve listed what we think about the best Virginia wineries to visit along the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, and all but one of them are less than an hour away.

  1. Crosskeys Vineyards is one of the best wineries on the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, and certainly one of the most elegant places to sip a delicious glass of wine. Both the wine and the view here are exquisite.
  2. Enjoy panoramic mountain views while sipping your wines at Brix & Columns Vineyards. The agricultural heritage of the owners and winemakers is evident in every delicious glass.
  3. There are few places more authentically Shenandoah Valley than Marceline Vineyards. Sip wine in their beautiful barn, and take in the exquisite country views – it’s the perfect marriage of time and place in a single glass.
  4. Bluestone Vineyard is another fantastic stop along the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail. They offer delicious, award-winning wines at their stunning vineyard and are often ranked one of the best wineries in Northern Virginia. 
  5. The drive up to The Winery at Kindred Pointe alone is worth it, but one taste of their fabulous wine, and you’ll be glad you made the trek to this great stop on the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail.
  6. White Oak Lavender Farm & Purple Wolf Vineyard is easily one of the most picturesque Northern Virginia wineries on the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, thanks to their long-established lavender farm.
  7. Rockbridge Vineyards and Brewery is the closest stop on the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail to us. Their award-winning wines are delicious, and there’s always live music and other fun events to enjoy.
  8. It’s a little farther away, just under 90 minutes from our Bed and Breakfast, but Shenandoah Vineyards is worth it. Not only are they the second-oldest Virginia winery and award-winning, but they’ve been credited as starting Virginia’s wine industry. It’s a must-make stop on the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail!
