Exploring Virginia’s Diverse Wine Scene


Virginia’s vibrant wine scene is gaining recognition, with 67 restaurants in the state receiving Wine Spectator’s prestigious 2024 Award of Excellence. This proves that one doesn’t need to travel to Napa or Burgundy to enjoy exceptional food and wine. The Commonwealth offers a plethora of world-class options for wine enthusiasts.

The Wine Spectator awards are not just about the wine list but also about the overall excellence in wine service provided by the restaurants. Virginia restaurants have been recognized alongside establishments from over 75 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Among the recipients is Early Mountain Vineyards in Madison, where executive chef Tim Moore, lead winemaker Maya Hood White, and director of wine and hospitality Michael Cain Seay have been instrumental in creating an outstanding wine program. They integrate Early Mountain wines with guest selections to enhance the dining experience, offering a curated list of global wines that complement their own production styles and flavors.

The Inn at Little Washington, where Tim Moore previously worked as a sous chef under Patrick O’Connell, was also honored with Wine Spectator’s Grand Award. This recognition highlights Virginia’s growing reputation in the world of food and wine. With a focus on excellence in wine service and a commitment to providing guests with a top-notch culinary experience, Virginia’s restaurants are making their mark in the industry.
