Veritas Vineyard and Winery

Location: Afton, VA

Wine Trail: Nelson Wine Trail, Skyline Wine Trail

My next winery is Veritas Vineyards and Winery located down the street from Afton Mountain Vineyards. Veritas is probably one of my favorite wineries to date. I love the above picture of the corks spelling out 'love' which is what guest see as soon as they enter the tasting room. I thought it was appropriate since I visited Veritas on my Valentines Day weekend. The tasting room has a regal feel thanks to the high ceilings, floor-length curtains, and chandeliers.

I was also very impressed with the actual wines at Veritas. After our tasting I enjoyed a glass of their White Star, which is a blend of Viognier, Traminette, Chardonnay and Petite Manseng grapes. However my boyfriend and I also liked their  Red Star (pictured below) which is one of the most popular wines at Veritas. It is a light bodied red made from a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Chambourcin. As if the wine and ambiance wasn't enough, I am also in love with their slogan 'In Vino Veritas', which is Latin for "in wine (there is the) truth".

We sat on the inside loft which overlooks the tasting room and enjoyed our wine and cheese plate. There is ample seating in the tasting room so it's a great winery to visit on a cool or rainy day. Veritas is truly an amazing winery. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Central Virginia area.
