What to do in DC this weekend (Apr. 24-26)

This weekend is going to be awesome.  High of 87 on sunday.  I can only think of one thing to do when it is that hot out.  Wine Tours.  Here in DC, at some the winerys you can take wine tours with your dogs.  Tucker appreciates it.

Tucker looking forward to a little wine tour.

Located right over in Leesburg, this winery offers great views, great wines, and a pet friendly atmosphere.  If you go try the Tre Sorélle it is a Bordeaux style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.  The tasting room is open from 11am-5pm Friday through Sunday. 

Oak Crest Vineyard & Winery

They are open from 10-5 on saturdays and 11-5 on sundays.   They are roughly 90 minutes from DC, allow dogs and have over 10 different wines to choose from. 

Philip Carter Winery
4366 Stillhouse Road
Hume, Virginia 22639
540-364-1203

Open Thursday to Monday from 11AM to 6PM.  This winery is a tad bit closer than the previous one so you don’t have to wake up as early.  They offer a nice selection of whites and reds.  This winery is also dog friendly.  Tucker gives it two paws. 

Sunset Hills Vineyards
38295 Freemont Overlook Lane
Purcellville, Virginia 20132  
703-725-3546

Open 12-6 Saturdays and Sundays.  Located just past Leesburg, this winery is close, no need to wake up early.  That is honestly my number one determining factor about going on wine tours, how early do I have to get up?  Show up later and make sure to stay for the sunset.  It is Gorgeous.

Barrel Oak Winery
3623 Grove Lane
Delaplane, VA 20144
540-364-6402
Located just of Route 66, about an hour from DC.  They are open from 11am-6pm every day.  They are extremely pet friendly and easy to get to.  Check out their website as they have a lot of dog related events.
