Blenheim Vineyards

If you’ve been following along with us for a while, you have probably heard/seen me talk and post about Blenheim. I have been a wine club member at Dave Matthew’s winery for years and it is one of my most favorite places to visit.  Their tasting room is located in a gorgeous building with vaulted ceilings and dark wooden beams.  In here (and outside) you can taste their seasonal vintages for $8, and purchase bottles and glasses as well. They recently expanded their outdoor seating area to include a new pavilion and picnic tables, where you can gaze upon the vineyards while enjoy your favorite wine. On weekends, you can find local Charlottesville Food Trucks serving up lunch to round off your tasting experience. If you’re planning to visit Blenheim, definitely do not hesitate to reach out. I’ve got much, much more to tell you!

King Family Vineyards

King Family was the first stop on our winery tour with Lexus Cville a few years ago, so if these photos look familiar, that’s why! Located in Crozet on the Monticello Wine Trail, just a few miles outside of Charlottesville, with two tasting rooms and acres of gorgeous views, it is a Virginia wine lover’s favorite.  Their Crose is a true crowd pleaser, and this summer I discovered the Roseland white which was amazing as well! To be honest, I have loved all of the wines I have tasted there over the years. On Sundays, in the summer and into the fall, they host the Roseland polo matches, which free to the public and a welcomed treat when visiting the tasting room!

Pollak Vineyards

Located close to King Family, technically in Greenwood, VA, is Pollak Vineyards. We visited here on our Lexus tour as well and lucked out on a Wednesday in June to have the place to ourselves. Their gorgeous tasting room is inviting, full of light and looks out over a beautiful view of the valley, vines and mountains. They have acres and acres of French grapes that they use to create estate grown wines to honor your favorite French varietals. A tasting here is also $8 and of course, we recommend the rose! I’ve also heard great things about their wine club.
