Yes, folks, it’s that wonderful time of the year when we want to experience as many Virginia wineries as possible before the beautiful Fall weather disappears. Most wineries have special events and opportunities to celebrate the end of harvest, and many towns have figured out how to piggyback food and wine festivals into the mix. This is, after all, Virginia Wine Month. The one problem: Transportation.

Solutions now abound as you can literally leave the driving to others and enjoy the tastes of the Piedmont. If you believe you might benefit from a little more knowledge than you might get just sipping, Virginia wine guru Richard Leahy has a perfect solution. He teamed with Blue Ridge Wine excursions, a division of Albemarle Vintage Limousines, to offer personalized travel wine knowledge. These custom-designed tours promise the benefit of luxury transportation and Leahy’s extensive wine knowledge.

If you are more interested in just solving the transportation issue, Reston Limousine has numerous options and a variety of vehicles to make the trips comfortable. You can choose a private winery trip or join one of the many scheduled events the company offers. Your choice; an easy solution.

A final take on transportation: The Washington Wine Academy partnered with Reston Limousine for weekend tours. These bus trips include a Wine Academy leader, a lunch option, and a choice of vineyards. Check the schedule.

So many choices; no need to miss out on Virginia Wine Month. Salud.
