DelFosse Vineyards & Winery - Faber, Virginia
|
November is the month for all things Virginian, and autumn color is at its height along the byways and highways leading to wine activities across the state.
Virginia Cider Week
on November 11-20 is a celebration of all things cider and
showcases this fast growing industry. If you love Virginia wine and cider, it's a good bet you also love Virginia oysters. November is Virginia Oyster Month
and
many wineries are offering special wine and oyster events.
Our Winery of the Month is DelFosse Vineyards and Winery with its spectacular location in Central Virginia. You will definitely want to visit DelFosse this month and meet the new owners, Adrienne and Mark Albers.
As we pause to give thanks for our many blessings, we thank you for sharing our passion about Virginia wines and all things Virginia. We appreciate your continuing interest in learning about the people, places, events and trends that are part of this great industry.
Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving and all the best for the holiday season.
