We recently visited the Philip Carter Winery in Hume, Virginia. We were fortunate to attend the celebration of 250 years of Virginia wine! Fencing, wine tasting, horse drawn carriages, music, a great crowd, did I mention wine tasting? all made for a wonderful event.
Virginians have long identified themselves with the vine, have recognized its importance, and have consistently promoted a viable wine industry. As Virginians, grape and wine production is part of our collective cultural identity and heritage dating back as early as 1619 with the adoption of the Twelfth Act of the Original Acts of the Virginia General Assembly that required every landowner to plant and maintain ten vines.
Today, what was once a dream of a few Founding Fathers has now become a reality for all to share and enjoy. At Philip Carter, their history is wine, and their future is to promote the gracious way of life through wine, art and culture.
Philip Carter Winery offers the absolute perfect way for each and every person to enjoy the unique and breathtaking beauty of Fauquier County. From a romantic walk through the Philip Carter vineyards to an elegant winemaker’s dinner in our grand Cleve Hall or the perfect personalize, private group tasting in our King Carter suite overlooking the vineyards, this incredible family winery is sure to satisfy!
