Philip Carter Winery -
As the Founding Family of American Wine, there are few places that can boast the depth of American wine history that Philip Carter Winery reflects. The family carries an historic legacy as producers of the first internationally recognized fine wines in America on October 20, 1762. Located in Hume, Virginia, Philip Carter Winery is seated on 27 acres of rolling hills in the heart of America's Wine Country.
Old Bust Head -
Old Bust Head Brewing Company is located in beautiful Fauquier County, Virginia, just a few miles west of Gainesville. When the army moved out of the secret listening post they had installed on the old Virginia farm called Vint Hill, they left behind warehouse buildings full of history and intrigue. We have reclaimed these buildings and have plenty of room to brew, imbibe, and expand in our 30,000 square foot facility.
Cobbler Mountain Cellars -
Home to the "Little Winery That Could" is where the fairies live in big poplar trees, children run barefoot to Thumb Run Creek and stories of the wise Grandfathers and kind Grandmothers are shared around the Grand Fire Circle at the foot of the forest. A legendary dreamer, Grandfather McCarthy, discovered Big Cobbler Mountain in 1959. His love of creatures and exploring has been preserved and passed down to his children and grandchildren. Come hike a wooded trail. Open a bottle of imagination. Sip handcrafted wines with the makers. Find a little fantasy under the old apple tree.
Lacrosse the Nations -
An international humanitarian organization that unifies the lacrosse community in order to sustainably improve education and health while creating hope and opportunity for children in need.
