Stone Tower Winery, has been a long time favorite of mine for a few years now. My best friend Alisha, and her husband James, introduced us to this lovely estate back in 2016. Since then. I have been dying to return back, and was not disappointed one bit. If you live in Northern Virginia, this winery is the spot to visit, in Leesburg, VA. Not only is the estate absolutely stunning, they have amazing wines, and a brick oven to make fresh pizza!

Her husband organized a sweet surprise party and included all of her closest friends. The guests were able to enjoy a tasting in the cellar at the winery as well as enjoy lunch afterwards.
Today, I am sharing my wonderful experience at Potomac Point Winery, in Stafford, Virginia.

Rosemont Winery is one of my favorite wineries in Virginia. G recently surprised me with a day trip to visit this lovely little spot in southern Virginia on Valentine's Day weekend. We fell in love with all of their wines, which is a very hard thing for us to do. Not only did we enjoy our experience, but the staff is phenomenal. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Aubrey Rose, the Director of Sales and Marketing. She is nothing short of fantastic and so kind. Aubrey and her husband, Justin Rose are fellow Cavaliers! They started Rosemont almost ten years ago, and will be celebrating their estate's anniversary this Fall. Their motto is "budbreak to harvest". All of the wines are 100% estate grown.
This winery is a hidden gem in Virginia, and we cannot wait to return this Spring!
Today I'm sharing what wines we took home from Rosemont. It is rare G and I take home more than four bottles from a vineyard. This time around we took home seven bottles, and are absolutely thrilled with our picks!

This past weekend my husband surprised me with a private tasting with the owner, Tayloe at Upper Shirley Vineyards in Charles City, Virginia. Yet, that wasn't the only surprise waiting for me! My best friend Alisha and her husband were waiting for me on the steps of the vineyard. It was an absolute fantastic way to kick off my birthday week!
I'm really lucky to have a sweet husband who is so thoughtful to include one of my closest friends on an important milestone. Alisha and I have been best friends since college, and one of the many things we love is wine.
Upper Shirley is one of my new favorite vineyards in Virginia. The owner is amazing and is passionate about his wines. We were fortunate to learn about the vineyard and all that they are doing. It is rare that I like every single wine on the tasting, but this place made it happen! Not only were the wines amazing, but the food is to die for, and their chef is awesome! It is definitely worth a visit.
Today I'm sharing my top four picks from Upper Shirley along with Alisha's selection too!
