We hear lots about Napa Valley in California but Charlottesville Virginia is wine country.
Virginia actually ranks fifth in the United States in wine production. Virginia wineries stretch across the state. The Charlottesville area is home to at least 21 wineries producing a variety of excellent wines. An excellent choice for a lazy summer day activity is wine tasting at one of the local wineries. A great place to start sampling local vintages is the Monticello Wine Trail.
There are some other Virginia wine trails:
Shenandoah Valley Wine Country Trail
