The rolling landscape of Northern Virginia offers a perfect site for many wineries and produces fine examples of every kind of wine. Many of us look forward to spending a day savoring the different tastes. But wine tasting doesn’t have to be an adult outing only. A few wineries in Northern Virginia are ideal for families and are pet friendly also. Check out our list below to see what some of these tasting rooms can offer to keep the whole family entertained.


Barrel Oak Winery – (39 Miles from Dulles International Airport)

3623 Grove Lane, Delaplane, VA 20144 | (540) 364-6402

Offering a picturesque location and award winning wines this winery is a great location for a picnic with the family. They offer horseback tours of their vineyards on weekends. And a small hayride takes you to a nearby farmers market and farm animals for the young ones to delight in. Bring your own food or purchase on location from a limited menu. Pets are welcome too. Carry an umbrella on a sunny day as the ones offered by the winery get grabbed fast.
