Weekend Wine Activities

I haven't done a WWA post in a while, but there is so much going on this weekend, I figured you all should know about them:

1. Fabbioli is having an open house this weekend. Lots of good food, good wine and even some barrel tastings.


2. Breaux is also having an open house...and there are some special treats for cellar club members.


3. Loudoun Valley continues with their soup weekends on Saturday.


4. Corcoran Vineyards has two events happening on Saturday. First they are having an open house, then they are doing a Sparkling wine tasting with Mary Watson.


5. Veramar is continuing their Deck the Halls Event...pick up Christmas wreaths ornaments and drink mulled wine!!
   

These are just some of the events, definitely check out your favorite winery to see what is going on!

I completely left out the 4th Annual Manasses Wine and Jazz Festival from my WWA post below. They have some good performers and great wineries. Note, this is not a whole weekend festival, it is only on Sunday.

Looking for fun stuff to do this weekend? Breaux is having their 11th annual Cajun Festival -- this is always a great time!

Clifton is also holding their second annual wine festival.

Looking to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at your favorite winery this weekend? You are in luck. Veramar is celebrating St. Patrick's Day with live entertainment and Irish Faire. On Sunday, you can go to Bluemont Vineyard has their Celtic Celbration on Sunday (and they should be releasing some new wines this weekend).

Whichever way you go, enjoy!

I have not been very good with my WWAs lately, but with Spring and Summer upon us that will have to change.

This weekend's WWA is The Reston Great Grapes Festival held at Reston Town Center. Admission is $25 at the festival, $20 in advance. Wineries in attendance include: Rockbridge, Lake Anna, Peaks of Otter, Stone Mountain, Horton (how can such a big winery have such an ugly website?) and Veramar (I can't wait to pick up a bottle of their Cabernet Franc).

It looks like a lot of fun!

WWAs for this weekend:

1. Alliance Francaise is celebrating Beaujolais Nouveau a day late with a wine and cheese party


2. Also on Friday, The Wine Specialist is offering a tasting of wines from Barboursville


3. On Saturday, Pearmund Cellars is having their Beast Feast


4. Saturday and Sunday Veramar Vineyards will be hosting their holiday open house

I'll be at Veramar :). Whatever you do, have fun!
