Interesting bars
La Luna Gallery and Wine Bar 48 N Washington St. Berkeley Springs, WV 25411 Open on Fridays and Saturdays, soon on Sundays La Luna Gallery and Wine Bar
Fine wines, tasty appetizers Great for a before or after dinner rendez-vous in a rather chic environment, dressed with photography and art.
Vapiano Pasta Pizza Bar Near Ballston Metro Stop Wilson Boulevard at Glebe Rd.
A German concept of tasty Italian food at very reasonable prices a la cafeteria style. However, if anyone has bad back problems, this is not the restaurant for you as there are no chairs with a back support.
Wineries
Three Fox Vineyards 10100 Three Fox Lane Delaphane, Virginia 540.364.6073
Whereas Virginia is mostly known for its white wines, Three Fox Vineyards not only has some good white wines but also some good red wines. The outside eating area makes a perfectly pleasant scene for picnics or just slipping wine with friends with a platter of cheeses.
Hillsborough Vineyards 36716 Charles Town Pike Purcellville, VA 20132 540.668.6216 info@hillsboroughwine.com Four of their wines won prizes at the American Wine Society. You might want to try: OPAL 2004 – Silver GARNET 2004 – Bronze RUBY 2004 – Bronze BLOODSTONE 2004 – Bronze And their Serefina is also a great wine to try.
Loudoun Valley Winery 38516 Charlestown Pike Waterford, VA 20197 They have many wines to choose from.
Veramar 905 Quarry Road, Berryville, VA 22611 Phone: 540-955-5510 Veramar
This is one of my favorite wineries both for the view out on the veranda but most importantly both their red and white wines are quite good. Look for: Cabernet Franc 2004 Silver Winner Rooster Red 2005 Silver Winner Chardonnay 2005 Bronze Winner Merlot 2004 Bronze Winner
