Getting Started

Road signs sporting a cluster of grapes mark some stops along Virginia’s various wine trails. Some trails are better organized than others and many produce a guide and a map. The three largest trails are Blue Ridge Wine Way, Loudoun Wine Trail, and Monticello Wine Trail. Blue Ridge Wine Way (with 10 wineries and vineyards) and Loudoun Wine Trail (with 17 participating wineries) are both located in the northern part of the state. The Monticello Wine Trail (with 22 wineries) winds around Charlottesville and the nearby countryside.
