Our Visit:
| We just visited Potomac Point on Saturday, 10 July. Here’s a link to Nancy’s post on our visit. Potomac Point is the new face of winery-as-entertainment in Virginia: a helpful guy to point you to one of the (few) empty spots in the large parking area, a well-planned Tasting Room dominated by a 4-sided tasting bar (with six busy attendants and 40 thirsty patrons), a relaxed, inviting Bistro serving tapas and paninis for lunch and dinner. |

Guests choose from cozy patios and sunlit courtyards for sitting, sipping, and taking in the rolling hills view – and the occasional wedding, just down the valley. We watched as a bride emerged as if on cue to make her way across the well-tended lawn to her betrothed. This winery is one well-oiled entertainment machine.
Three tastings are available, the Classic for $5 (9 wines), the Reserve for $7 (7 wines) and the Premier for $10 (everything in sight). We opted for the Premier, which came with a complimentary olive oil tasting and (we were told) two wine glasses. With only a few years under their belt, Potomac Point has put together an eclectic variety of bottlings, including the popular Chianti-style Abbinato, and the La Belle Vie, an award-winning white table wine. I was intrigued by the Rabelos dessert wine, a port-style offering with a surprisingly dominant taste of coconut, and picked up a bottle for $30.
Other nice touches here include a Little Buds room, with toys for your little ones, and a warm welcome for pooches. (We spotted two well-behaved puppies bellied up to the tasting bar.)
The only disappointment? As we were paying for our bottle, the cashier picked up our glasses – to wrap them, I assumed. But no, she said we couldn’t have them because they were running low on glasses. We pointed out that we’d been told our $20 (for two) Premier tasting included the glasses. She said that sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn’t, if they’re running low. So, no glasses for us.
