The Loudoun Wineries and Winegrowers Association (LWWA) is hosting their second year of Pride in Vines. Pride in the Vines takes place from June 1st to June 30, 2024. You can pick up your Pride in the Vines Wine Trail Passport at any of the participating wineries. More wineries have joined the fun this year. When you visit one of the wineries on the Pride in the Vines Wine Trail you can collect your stamp showing you visited that winery. When you get 10 stamps on your Passport you will be entered into a drawing to win prizes. Prizes include private wine tastings, bottles of wine, gear, tickets to events, and tours of the vineyards and wineries.
We started our Passport stamp collecting last weekend. We met a friend at Two Twisted Posts Winery for some wine tasting. During our tasting the tasting associate handed us our Passports for this year with the TTPW stamp already applied. After our tasting we shared a bottle of their Viognier with some nibbles on their covered patio. They had lots of Pride flags decorating the patio. It was very festive.
