★ About the Author ★
Photographer Rick Collier and travel writer Nancy Bauer visited 150 Virginia Wineries in 150 Days to research this app, from Hiddencoft Vineyards at the northern tip of the state, to Rosemont Winery at the North Carolina border, and over to MountainRose Vineyard in coal country, just a few miles from Kentucky. Rick took more than 10,000 photos, Nancy interviewed hundreds of owners, winemakers, and tasting room staff, and together they sampled more than 2,000 Virginia wines.
They live in Northern Virginia, and they can’t wait to get on the road again.
