Sated and settling, we again board our luxury vehicle, traveling in comfort and elegance through breathtaking winding roads. We arrive at the sunrise-side of Afton Mountain, home to Afton Mountain Vineyards. The uniquely nestled location of this vineyard allows conditions different from many other wineries in our region, allowing a terroir-driven, medal-winning showcase of wines like no other. Hosted in the “Sun Room,” which overlooks the lake with stunning vineyard views,  your private tasting will begin.  Experience fresh, young and crisp whites to bold, dark and rich reds. Your private tasting is supplemented by wines not available to the public, opened just for you to experience and enjoy. Drink in both the wine and the 360* panoramic views of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Feel the charm of the small, upscale boutique tasting experience.
