Every October, Virginia wineries continue to harvest grapes and begin the work of creating their next vintage. Festivities (safely planned) abound this month, including several Harvest Party celebrations set to take place on October 16.
“We’re excited to kick off another Virginia Wine Month and celebrate the winemakers, the world-class wines and the supporters that have ensured our industry continues to thrive, even through a pandemic. said “Take advantage of this magical time in Virginia Wine Country—try something new, follow wherever the road takes you and join in celebrations happening across the state.”
The highlight of the month is this weekend, October 16 for the Harvest Party. The Harvest Party is a day where to toast the richness of the region and celebrate the bounty of Virginia-grown food and wine. Special dinners highlighting Virginia chefs, intimate tastings with winemakers and events hosted in the vineyards add local color to already scenic Virginia Wine Country throughout the weekend of October 16. Many wineries will feature music. Make sure to grab a reservation, no time like early fall to enjoy Virginia wine.
From events to popular bundles featuring Virginia wines and local artisanal foods to accommodation packages at luxury inns across the state, Virginia Wine Month celebrates the partnerships and local support that makes Virginia Wine flourish.
