Some Interesting Wine Bars and Wineries in West VA & VA
Interesting bars
La Luna Gallery and Wine Bar
48 N Washington St.
Berkeley Springs, WV 25411
Open on Fridays and Saturdays, soon on Sundays
La Luna Gallery and Wine Bar
Fine wines, tasty appetizers
Great for a before or after dinner rendez-vous in a rather chic environment, dressed with photography and art.
Vapiano Pasta Pizza Bar
Near Ballston Metro Stop
Wilson Boulevard at Glebe Rd.
A German concept of tasty Italian food at very reasonable prices a la cafeteria style. However, if anyone has bad back problems, this is not the restaurant for you as there are no chairs with a back support.
Wineries
Three Fox Vineyards
10100 Three Fox Lane
Delaphane, Virginia
540.364.6073
Whereas Virginia is mostly known for its white wines, Three Fox Vineyards not only has some good white wines but also some good red wines. The outside eating area makes a perfectly pleasant scene for picnics or just slipping wine with friends with a platter of cheeses.
Hillsborough Vineyards
36716 Charles Town Pike
Purcellville, VA 20132
540.668.6216
info@hillsboroughwine.com
Four of their wines won prizes at the American Wine Society.
You might want to try:
OPAL 2004 - Silver
GARNET 2004 - Bronze
RUBY 2004 - Bronze
BLOODSTONE 2004 - Bronze
And their Serefina is also a great wine to try.
Loudoun Valley Winery
38516 Charlestown Pike
Waterford, VA 20197
They have many wines to choose from.
Veramar
905 Quarry Road, Berryville, VA 22611
Phone: 540-955-5510
Veramar
This is one of my favorite wineries both for the view out on the veranda but most importantly both their red and white wines are quite good.
Look for:
Cabernet Franc 2004 Silver Winner
Rooster Red 2005 Silver Winner
Chardonnay 2005 Bronze Winner
Merlot 2004 Bronze Winner
