October is Virginia Wine Month!

10/3/2019

Comments

 
Happy Fall everyone! That sounds like a cruel joke considering the first 3 days of this month have all been 90 degrees plus, but cooler weather is on the way! Do you know what is special about this month, regardless if it feels like the middle of summer? October is Virginia Wine Month! 

According to virginiawine.org, this year Virginia Wine Month is celebrating 31 years since it was officially established in 1988. There are close to 300 wineries and 7 established American Viticulture Areas (or AVA for short) in Virginia. The wine industry in the state has changed drastically over the last four decades and so has the quality of wine. With twenty-four different varietals that grow in Virginia, there is no shortage of new wines to try!
What’s so special about Virginia Wine Month? Other than another reason to go and explore Virginia wine country, October is a magical time of year to see the fall foliage throughout the rolling hills of the state. As harvest is coming to a close for many vineyards, the leaves on the vines will also begin to show the changing of colors, which adds additional beauty to the vineyards and surrounding scenery.

Now, what are you waiting for?!? Grab some friends and go exploring! Along the way, be sure to stop and visit the crew here at Bluestone. The view is always beautiful on top of the hill, but there is something about visiting the vineyard in October that makes the trip a little extra special. 

Thanks for tuning into this week's edition of Out of the Barrel. Cheers!
