Over the course of the next few weeks, we’ll spotlight the fine Virginia wineries and breweries participating in this year’s Wine & Beer Classic. First on the list: Williamsburg Winery.
Williamsburg Winery is the state’s largest winery, accounting for almost a quarter of all wine produced in the state of Virginia! The winery is perhaps best known for their award-winning Governor’s White, its first wine produced (which won a Gold Medal two weeks after its initial release in 1988).
Williamsburg Winery is located less than an hour from Richmond, perfectly situated for a winery tour and tasting. Visit on a Thursday night, and you can enjoy a special food & wine pairing at the winery’s restaurant, the Gabriel Archer Tavern. If you choose to spend the night or the weekend, the Wedmore Place at Williamsburg Winery offers luxe accommodations.
Best yet…you can sample their award-winning wines on Friday, September 11th at the Wine & Beer Classic!
