This October marks the 38th annual Virginia Wine Month, a celebration of the state’s wine industry. The month-long event comes at a challenging time for producers, who have faced widespread damage and crop losses due to severe frost and freeze events in March and April. Governor Abigail Spanberger has proclaimed the month, urging support for the state’s wineries and growers. Throughout October, visitors can find various festivals, events, and special experiences, including the Harvest Party on October 17.
