A wee trend is developing among Virginia wineries that want to welcome the explosion of weekend wine travelers, but preserve the ambience of the tasting experience. It’s a wonderful, civilized thing, and it’s called a seated tasting.
Vintage Ridge’s premier pairing includes a tasting of all wines, paired with artisan cheeses, meats, and seasonal food selections chosen to compliment the varietal wines.
On our visit, we tasted manchego spicy plum chutney, fire roasted tomato bruschetta, salami, Bella Vitano cheese with raspberry, goat cheese with date, and blue cheese with spiced pecans. You can order more if you’d like to make a meal of it, but you may find, as we did, that focusing on taste, aroma, and texture leaves you plenty satisfied, even if you didn’t consume a Big Mac-sized portion.
Coming with a big group? Groups of 12 or more can arrange private tastings inside or on the patio.
