Visit Nelson County Wineries

Here are a few tips for planning a winery tour in Virginia (from the Virginia Wines web site)
It's always a good idea to call before visiting. Many of our wineries are small, family-owned operations and may be closed for various family-related activities during the time that you are planning to visit.

If you are planning to visit a winery in a group of eight or more, always call ahead of time to help the winery prepare for your visit and to make sure they can accept groups.

Most of the Nelson County wineries have grape cluster highway signs within a ten-mile radius pointing the way to the winery. Many of these signs now also will tell you how many miles you have to go before reaching the winery.
