Meet the Women Winemakers, Growers, and Leaders of the Birthplace of American Wine

March 14-31, 2025

A project of Virginia Women in Wine, the Virginia Women in Wine Trail is a curated route through local women-owned or women-centered wineries and vineyards. Over several weeks, visitors can attend special events, tastings, and tours at each stop along the trail, making it a perfect way to discover the area’s women-in-winemaking culture.

Events are happening from March 14-31, 2025, celebrating more than 45 wineries who are integral to Virginia’s wine industry, including winemakers, growers, and industry leaders.

Participating wineries are spread across Central Virginia, Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, Southern Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley, offering various unique experiences and tastings.

Highlights include:
* Special winery activities: Female Favorites Flights, vineyard tours, blending workshops, and behind-the-scenes talks, among others.
* Trail Cards: Pick these up at any Trail location and then enter them to win prizes at the Trailblazer Bash on March 29
* Trailblazer Bash on March 29 at Bluemont Vineyards in Northern Virginia: Features wines from around Virginia, food, music, and the announcement of the 2025 Trailblazer Awards, as well as the launch of Virginia Women in Wine’s new report, “Closing the Gender Gap in Winemaking.”
