Product Description
The first in the new Washington Weekends series Breaking Away to the Virginia and Maryland Wineries describes the lush, green splendor of the countryside, the charm and beauty of the vineyards and wineries, and the history and personalities of the industry in this up-and-coming wine region. Two colorfully written pages are dedicated to each of about 60 wineries in Virginia and 10 in Maryland, including information about the owners of the winery, directions, hours of operation, and the wines offered. Sprinkled throughout are sidebars on interesting topics that enrich the reader’s wine experience and highlight special places and activities in the area including barrel tasting, the cheeses of Virginia, horseback riding, historic inns, and more. Also included are useful maps, the best winery wedding sides, and an aroma wheel that enhances the tasting experience.
