Afton Mountain Vineyards

Afton Mountain Vineyards

Location: Afton, VA

Wine Trail: Nelson Wine Trail, Monticello Wine Trail, Skyline Wine Trail 

I stopped by Afton Mountain Vineyards on my way back from a day trip in Charlottesville, VA last Fall. I would describe Afton Mountain as a charming winery located 'over the river and through the wood down the mountain'....literally. I actually started to get concerned for my wellbeing just getting to the place. The winding road take you up and down the mountains through the Central Virginia country side. Although getting there was a little crazy, the drive offered amazing views. 


I was impressed with all of the wines Afton Mountain had to offer and ended up purchasing a bottle of their Gewurztraminer, which is a crisp, dry white. Next time I'm in the area I would love to give Afton Mountain another try.
