An afternoon among the vines, views, and culinary delights of this Virginia winery
There’s plenty to explore in Richmond proper. But the city is located in the Central Virginia wine region, and just an hour’s drive from the Monticello AVA, which is chock full of beautiful vineyards and designated wine trails to help navigate a pretty awesome outing. In short, it’s well worth a day trip.
