The Mount Juliet vineyard at this extremely picturesque winery near Crozet produces the grapes used in its bright and crisp white wines and age-worthy reds. Tastings have various permutations – the reds (specifically the Tannat or Herleve) are the most interesting. BYO picnic or meat to cook on the gas BBQs.
