If you want to taste wine, but worry about travel conditions in between vineyards, then this coming weekend’s Virginia Wine and Gourmet Showcase should provide the perfect outing. Over 300 wines will be available for tasting. Seminars will be held both days. No excuses about not furthering your wine knowledge.

Tarara Winery , one of the pioneers of the state’s ever-expanding wine industry, celebrates its 20th anniversary with a Meritage Tasting and Discussion. Included in this special tasting is the still unreleased Meritage, the current vintage, and the previous one. Check their website for a special offer for this Dulles Expo event.

Advance ticket prices are $25 for tasters, $30 at the door, and $15 for non-tasters.
