Traveled down to Veritas Winery to see how the fall colors would be during the 2nd weekend in Nov. My daughter and her fiance will be married there next year in Nov. Glad to see that although the colors were “past peak,” there was still plenty of spectacular color. I should have taken some photos of the wine tasting, but I was so focused on the wines that I forgot. BTW the wine is excellent.

Fun and exciting footage of our vineyards and winery!

Napa makes auto parts…….

Bluemont Vineyard, just outside the rural village of Bluemont in western Loudoun, sits at 951 feet above sea level and offers magnificent views of the Loudoun countryside. On a clear day, you can see all the way to DC! (We are DC’s Wine Country, you know…) Bluemont features several wines, including some surprising blends, and offers guests a relaxing patio and deck to cap off the experience. Live music is offered as well on selected weekends. Don’t miss their Lore home furnishings shop at the winery too. Be sure to include time for the kids at the next door Great Country Farms too.
