Blue Valley Vineyard- Delaplane, VA

The tasting room at Blue Valley feels brand new, despite being open since 2015. Open and airy, with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside, it is a welcoming space, perfect for wine tasting. Considering the times, Blue Valley has an equally inviting outdoor terrace, reminiscent of a ship’s prow, which offers commanding views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the farms that dot the valley below.  

While not all of their wines are estate grown, their excellent Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier are; they also offered a fabulous dry sparkling wine during our visit, in addition to a handful of reds. Less crowded and more refined than some surrounding wineries, it’s a great addition to the Virginia wine scene.
