Nelson County, Virginia
Labor Day weekend signals the unofficial end to Summer though it’s not really official until September 22nd. As the final days of Summer unfold, lots is happening across Nelson County. Our Paul Purpura was out Saturday grabbing some of the events taking place across the area. An annual tradition is the Romp, Stomp & Chomp celebration over at Wintergreen Winery. You can literally get up to your ankles in grapes. Their celebration continues today. More info here.
Up a bit in altitude it was Wintergreen Performing Arts’ International Wine & Food Festival. Folks got to explore wines from around the world – over 50 wines from Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, California, and, of course, Virginia!
Today Afton Mountain Vineyards will be holding their Labor Day Celebration featuring musical entertainment by Lewis McGehee. www.lewismcgehee.com.
