WELCOME A TASTE OF DC'S THE REGION Wine Varied topography and well-drained limestone soils deliver terroir suited to grow many grape varietals. Chardonnay and French-style Bordeaux thrive, but so do Spanish Albariño and Nebbiolo reminiscent of Italy’s Piedmont. Loudoun Viognier is praised by celebrated British wine writers and Chrysalis Vineyards at The Ag District is said to have the world’s largest planting of Norton. While accolades pour in, there’s a friendly warmth to the scene, similar to Napa in the 1970s; Willamette Valley in the 1990s. Here, a winemaker will join you for a tasting, an owner will recommend a neighboring estate and you can meet a grower working in the vines. Bluemont Vineyard
