The Best Northern Virginia Wineries of 2023
Virginia – and the Shenandoah Valley in particular – has a long history of being an agricultural powerhouse. It’s no surprise, then, that the area is a burgeoning wine region, with more than 300 wineries around the state. There are also plenty of wine tours and trails around the state, with northern Virginia wineries often ranking among some of the best.
The wines at the top northern Virginia wineries are as delicious as the scenery is beautiful. If you’re looking for a tasty, relaxing, and beautiful way to spend an afternoon, this is it! Though you could drive for hours to see Virginia wineries, we’ve taken the time to curate a list of the eight best northern Virginia wineries within an hour of our Bed and Breakfast. Whether you visit one of them or all eight, we hope you also take the time to stop and explore the local areas as you travel, as that’s truly one of the best ways to experience the authentic Shenandoah Valley!
- One of our favorite northern Virginia wineries – which also happens to be reasonably close to us – is Rockbridge Vineyards and Brewery. We send our guests here often, as not only are their award-winning wines (and beer!) delicious, they usually have live music and other fun events. They also host a couple of festivals in October that promise to be fantastic fun!
- Crosskeys Vineyards near Harrisonburg is one of the best Northern Virginia wineries. Their Tuscan-style wines are delicious, and their tasting room offers panoramic views of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a great place to enjoy a tasting in the fall!
