• Your guide to traveling Virginia wine country •

According to the Travel Channel, "Virginia is carving its own niche in the little black books of savvy wine lovers searching for the next big thing."

Virginia Wine in My Pocket is a guide for travelers in Virginia wine country. Whether you’re looking for a day-trip with friends, a romantic weekend, a week-long wine adventure, or a quick stop as you’re passing through, we’ll help you find your way.

We are Virginia travel writers Rick Collier and Nancy Bauer, and we’ve spent a decade following the growth of Virginia's wine country, from a 65-winery footnote to a global rising star with 200+ wineries, international acclaim, and a multi-million dollar travel industry.

We’ve personally visited more than 170 wineries in Virginia, and we’ll share our favorites. We also include our “Best of” recommendations, including Best for Group Outings, Best for Romance, and Best Views.

• About the Author •

Photographer Rick Collier and travel writer Nancy Bauer visited 150 Virginia Wineries in 150 Days to research this app, from Hiddencoft Vineyards at the northern tip of the state, to Rosemont Winery at the North Carolina border, and over to MountainRose Vineyard in coal country, just a few miles from Kentucky. Rick took more than 10,000 photos, Nancy interviewed hundreds of owners, winemakers, and tasting room staff, and together they sampled more than 2,000 Virginia wines.

Since the "150 Wineries" tour, the authors have continued to visit new wineries, and revisit old friends. They expect to hit the magical "200" number in 2013!

They live in Northern Virginia, and they can’t wait to get on the road again.
