ABOUT VIRGINIA GRAPE ESCAPES

Picture
Christie Ann Bieber is a Virginia oenophile, passionate about the wines that are produced here in her home state.  She and her husband Craig have been drinking Virginia wine and visiting Virginia wineries together (their favorite pastime!)  for the better part of a decade. There is almost nothing they would rather do than pack an overnight bag and head to the mountains for a weekend in the wine country. Staying at a bed and breakfast or hotel and  eating at favorite local restaurants can be done on a shoestring budget or sparing no expense, but either way you will have an unforgettable experience.

The inspiration for Virginia Grape Escapes originated when Christie and Craig were on their honeymoon in New Zealand  and spent a great deal of time sampling this region's world class wines. New Zealand reminded Christie a lot of Virginia: a burgeoning industry with a new take on some old favorites. What Sauvignon Blanc  has done for  the Kiwis, Christie believes Viognier can do for Virginia. Nearing 200 wineries now, it's hard to know where  to go if you have a limited amount of time. What better way to discover the hidden gems than to ask a local who shares your passion for the grape?
