With a winemaking history that predates the founding of the United States, Virginia has grown into one of the country’s most exciting wine regions. Today, it is home to more than 300 wineries and a thriving industry known for standout varietals such as Viognier, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Manseng.
Spanning ten distinct AVAs, Virginia offers remarkable diversity in terroir and style. Notable regions include the Monticello area—steeped in history—and Loudoun County, often referred to as “DC’s Wine Country.” The industry is driven largely by Vitis vinifera grapes, which account for approximately 75% of production, with a strong emphasis on crafting premium, dry wines.
