Culpeper Wineries


First of all, let me just say that our group brought along the most delicious spread for a day full of wineries! I'm talking apples with caramel dip, bean salad, tomato (straight from the garden) mozzarella basil skewers, bacon ranch dip, and chocolate chip cookie dough pretzel bites. All paired perfectly with wine ;)

We spent the afternoon visiting Old House Vineyards and Mountain Run Winery. If you're ever in the central/northern VA area, these are both definitely worth a stop!

Old House had the most gorgeous views. Their tasting room is actually in an old house, and your servers will give you the history of the area as they pour your tastings. 

The whole setting is breathtaking! 


Outside among the vines, there's an island in the middle of a pond, which of course we ventured out to. Many weddings take place here - I'm sure you can see why!





Mountain Winery is a little more rustic; their tasting room is in the loft of an old renovated barn! Being a country girl at heart, this one was right up my alley. The owners are incredibly sweet, and they fixed up the whole place themselves!


I wish I had gotten more pictures, but I was drinking too much wine having too much fun :)


How cool is this bar made out of wine barrels and an old door? Keeping that idea in mind for a future DIY project.

If the views have you interested, just wait until you try their wine!
