North Mountain Vineyard & Winery - Maurertown, VA
Shenandoah Vineyards, Inc. - Edinburg, VA
Cave Ridge Vineyard (opening spring 2005)
These wineries are rather close together and make for a wonderful weekend project. Picturesque Veramar Vineyard is on the midst of them all, providing a wonderful place to shop. The vineyards in this group are quite varied, but many produce wonderful Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Seyval Blanc & Cabernet Franc, which they usually taste daily in their tasting rooms. One tip - if you do plan on visiting many of the wineries, the tasting room guides offered a bit of advice. Swirl the wine, smell the wine, taste the wine, then dump it out. It's not considered bad etiquette and you will be able to visit more wineries in a given day.
“Shenandoah Valley has clearly emerged as the regional wine leader in the eastern United States. A tour of SWX vineyards and wineries offers a special experience, with rural scenery, entertainment, quality restaurants and award winning wines”, continued Jim Bogaty. “So come, visit all of our wineries in SWX and sample our wines, each a taste of seasons past: The snows of winter, April showers, summer sunshine and crisp fall nights. It's all there in the bottle, waiting for...YOU.”
