Wouldn't it be fun if the DC Metro could whisk us all away

to Virginia Wine Country & The Chesapeake Bay?

On February 18-19, IT CAN!

Virginia Wine Country comes to DC for The 7th Annual Virginia Wine Showcase, the premier artisan wine event on the East Coast.

The 2012 event will be held at Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington Virginia.

Take the Blue or Yellow Metro line to the Crystal City stop and walk right in the door! All of your favorite Virginia Wineries will be there all weekend!
