Location: Leesburg, VA
Wine Trail: Loudoun Wine Trail
Just 25 minutes down the road from Casanel is the boutique style winery, Fabbioli Cellars. As you drive up the driveway, you may become concerned you are at the wrong location because the winery looks as if it is a residential home. But not to worry, you are at the correct place. Just enter the tasting room through the french doors.
Something that I found interesting was the Fabbioli offered a chocolate and wine tasting. This tasting paired chocolate truffles with the wines for a very unique experience. I know this was the first chocolate/wine tasting I have ever heard of.
Unfortunately I can't say the majority of the wines pleased my palate but I was impressed with a couple. I enjoyed their "Something White" white wine which offered floral and fruity notes. But the wine that absolutely blew me away was their Raspberry Merlot. The blend of grapes and raspberries paired perfected with the raspberry chocolate truffle (the heart shaped chocolate shown above). With a 375 ml bottle costing about $23.00, you can be sure that this wine would be the perfect compliment to a romantic evening.
