A Virginia Wine experience right in East Texas
Virginia is home to seven American Viticultural Areas that span from the coast to the Blue Ridge Mountains: North Fork of Roanoke, Northern Neck George Washington Birthplace, Rocky Knob, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia’s Eastern Shore, Monticello, and Middleburg. The vineyards grow traditional Bordeaux grapes like cabernet franc and petit verdot, but it’s not uncommon to see Spanish grape varieties as well. Some of the most respected Virginia wineries grow Italian grapes like barbera, sangiovese, and nebbiolo. Many grow chardonnay and viognier. Even a local American grape, Norton, gets love from Virginia winemakers.
There’s no single definition for Virginia wine, nor it’s food, so come explore some very beautiful tastes.
