Another unbelievably nice day on Thursday forced us back out to another Loudoun County vineyard - Breaux Vineyards in Purcellville. With over 100 planted acres on a 404 acre estate, it is definitely one of the biggest vineyards in the area and the views are awesome. It reminded us a little of the views from the vineyards in Sonoma.
When we got to the vineyard, Alyssa was our host and she served up 14 different wines for our $10 tasting. Included on the list was a 2002 Merlot that was awesome. They also make a wine from the Italian Nebbiolo grape. One of the great things about going to the vineyards and wineries in this area is the diversity of wines being made. Last week it was a Chambourcin from Fabbioli.
The views were spectacular, the wines were excellent and the weather was incredible. Visiting the wineries in Loudoun County is a great way to spend an afternoon. If you would like to join us on our Thursday afternoon excursions, join our Facebook Group or drop me an email. We also welcome suggestions for a winery to visit in the coming weeks.
