Favorite winery or outdoor places??
It looks like Saturday day is going to be nice out and I need to get out of the city. What are your favorite places to go and be outdoors? I am thinking about maybe heading out to some wineries for tastings or going to Great Falls for some hiking.
Those are really the only things I usually do when I get out of the city since sports are over for a month or so until baseball starts. I am looking for some new ideas of things to do. Any tips? Do you have a favorite winery that you can recommend? TIA!
Re: Favorite winery or outdoor places??
my favorite VA winery so far is fabbioli cellars in leesburg
in that area, there are a bunch you can drive to. my other favorites were hiddencroft and chrysalis.
i haven't been to great falls but it looks beautiful!
I am a fan of Loudoun Valley winery (http://loudounvalleyvineyards.com/) and Notaviva winery (http://www.notavivavineyards.com/). Both have fantastic views
. Route 9 in Loudoun county is full of great wineries.
Though Great Falls also seems like a good idea, given that the rapids will probably be high (and pretty!) from the all the rain yesterday.
Great Falls (either side) is always nice. Also, we like to go to Roosevelt Island to walk around.
For wineries- friends of a friend owns Hiddencroft and we really like it there. The owners are super nice, the wine is good and the setting is nice.
Other outdoorsy things in nice weather: National Arboretum, walking across the Wilson Bridge from Old Town to National Harbor, walking along rock creek park from Georgetown up towards the zoo, and Mount Vernon.

love hillsboro and bluemont wineries for their views. i know bluemont is having a special chocolate and wine pairing as is lost creek (what's not to love about wine and chocolate?!).
ETA: and, if you're near purcellville you should stop at this:
