After Four Centuries,
Virginia Wines Have Come of Age
Now home to more than 100 wineries, Virginia boasts a vast array of award-winning wines. Virginia wine is growing – in reputation, quality and appreciation. It’s turning heads and taste buds. Virginia’s wine industry has come a long way from its inception and continues to grow exponentially.
In 1979, Virginia had just six wineries, and a little over 15 years ago a total of 29 wineries were producing 75,000 cases of wine. By 2001, the Commonwealth's wine industry had grown to 75 wineries, producing more than 285,000 cases of wine. And the industry continues to expand.
Virginia’s wines continue to garner national and international awards, including a “Best of Show” in a California competition.
Virginia wines can be found throughout the state in retail outlets, restaurants and at festivals and special events. Wines can also be purchased directly at the wineries.
Remember, we made wine in Virginia in 1608, so while North Carolina may be first in flight…Virginia is first in wine! |
The area around Lynchburg has some of the best wine growing regions in the state. Many of our wineries have won international awards. You can spend several days visiting each winery. We recommend that you plan on visiting one or two wineries on you way here and one or two on your way home and then a couple while visiting Lynchburg. In the event you would like to have a chauffeured tour of one or two of our wineries we have made arrangements with a local limousine company to do the driving. Additionally, we do hold wine-tasting parties throughout the year so let us know if you would like to be included on our invitation list.
Below is a list of (Central Virginia) wineries. If you are interested in tasting some of the best wineries in the state/country this is a great place to start your tour. Some of them are in our back yard and the chances are you will pass several of them on your way to or from Lynchburg. The wine enthusiast can plan their visit to the Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast by visiting several on their way here; several while staying here and a few on their way home. We ask that you not drink and drive, we would like to see you again. Be aware some wineries may have a tasting fee.
