DC, MD, and VA Wines to Take Home for the Holidays

Events
Written By Joshua Baumgardner

In a year like no other, many individuals and families across Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland will be celebrating Christmas a little differently this year; That makes 2020 the perfect time to try a few new traditions!

May we suggest opening a bottle of a local DC area wine this Christmas? Each of these bottles are available directly from a local winery, and all are within a one-hour drive of downtown Washington DC. Why not plan an afternoon road trip to pick up a new-to-you local wine for Christmas dinner, and plan to stop off at one of the area’s many holiday light displays on the way home?

With reds, whites, and bubbly, there’s something on the list for every dish ad everyone:
