An Autumn Afternoon at a Winery

As the beautiful days of autumn go by and winter will soon be here, it is time to spend an autumn afternoon at a winery while taking in the scenic views of the countryside and enjoying a picnic at the winery.

An autumn afternoon at a winery

Our relaxing afternoon will entail a visit to two wineries known for their scenic views as we enjoy some wine and live music besides the last few days of autumn.

An Autumn Afternoon at a Winery

We will visit two wineries in Loudoun County which is known for its scenic views with rolling hills of farms and vineyards and the Blue Ridge Mountains along the horizon.

Our first stop will be Doukénie which is nestled in the foothills of the Blue ridge mountains which has a wine list that includes Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese.

Autumn picnic

You can do a wine tasting or choose a glass or bottle of your favorite wine while relaxing in the warmth of their beautiful red farm-style tasting room.

The winery offers some light snacks and also has live music on Saturday afternoons.

Our second winery Hillsborough Vineyards is a short distance drive from Doukénie. It has a scenic patio, that sits in the middle of the grapevines and the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains.

The vines at Hillsborough are split into three fields. The West field is planted with Fer Servadou, a red French grape. The upper East field is planted with both Petit Verdot and Tannat. The lower East field is planted with Petit Menseng, a white French varietal. The North field is home to Cabernet Sauvignon.
