Here are pictures from my day at the wineries!!!
Burnley
Owned by tech grads!!!
Overall their wines are very diverse. The chardonnay is rich and buttery, while the Barbera smells like blue cheese and tobacco. They had a sweet peach wine and a sweet, herbaceous “Rivnna Sunset” (named after a local river). They had a port style wine, however not at the same strength (their wines cannot go above %18 ABV because they only have a farm license, not a commercial license). The Aurora tasted like tootsie rolls and the Norton like cherry starbursts. Each wine was a unique experiences in and of themselves. And the owners are so nice! The winemaker and his wife are Virginia Tech graduates (and they name their dogs after grapes). This, of the three wineries we visited that day (Burnley, Keswick, and Barboursville), was my favorite!
