Bud did you know that there might also be a sense you’re neglecting on your wine tasting trips? Sure you can smell wine and you can taste it, you can see it hit your glass and see the vines sway in the breeze. you can feel the stem of the glass and feel the barrels, but how would your tasting experience be different if you put just as much emphasis on sounds?

#FindYourVine and put all of your senses to the test at these wineries where music completes the tasting experience. Stop by to sip and let us know if wine really does taste different depending on the accompaniment.

Notaviva Vineyards

Notaviva Vineyards

At Notaviva Vineyards in Purcellville, music and wine can’t exist without each other. Here, each bottle is paired with a musical genre or lyrical inspiration. With the goal of using wine to capture the emotions music can create, the winemakers have created a haven for those who are just as passionate about wine as they are music.

 
Every weekend, the vineyard also hosts live music to accompany your glass of wine. Check out Notaviva’s calendar to see who’s playing during your getaway.

Breaux Vineyards

Breaux Vineyards

While you’re in the area, another one of our favorite Purcellville stops for melodic tasting and music experience is Breaux Vineyards. The Washington Post even once called this winery “Loudoun County’s most impressive wine undertaking.” Just 15 minutes from historic Harper’s’ Ferry, West Virginia, Breaux Vineyards has live music nearly every weekend.

 
Pair that live music with the tasting room views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance and the award-winning European-style wines, and we’d call that perfect harmony.

Tarara Winery
