The Virginia Wine Experience

Long recognized for outstanding culinary offerings, The Omni Homestead Resort features the Virginia Wine Experience. Located near the resort’s grand Dining Room, the Virginia Wine Experience focuses solely on the wines of the Commonwealth, showcasing the history of winegrowing in Virginia from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through today.

Here, guests can select from distinct wine flights or wines by the glass at the Tasting Parlor, with bottles available for purchase. Each month, a prominent Virginia winery is profiled, and guests have the opportunity to meet with the winery owner/vintner and enjoy an exclusive, private dinner which will be complemented with wines from the featured winery.

The Virginia Wine Experience offers ongoing special events, educational seminars, and tastings of some of Virginia’s most limited and unique wines. Well-known wine industry executive Fred Reno, CEO & president of Thomas Jefferson Wine Company, is the consulting project manager connecting the resort with Virginia’s top wineries.

The Tasting Parlor

Enjoy our thoughtfully curated white wine, red wine, reserve wines and unique and interesting wines. Each flight includes a tasting of five wines. Enhance your experience with our cheese and charcuterie board. Reservations are not required.

December's Featured Winery: Barboursville Vineyards

Flight Menu | $45
‘21 Pinot Grigio | Romantic and youthful-spirited, in a true expression of Italian winemaking style. Extremely flavorful, with apple, pear and a touch of pineapple. Dry and well-balanced, with a glowing and intriguingly gentle finish.
‘22 Vermentino Reserve | Full of lemon blossom character, lychee and pear. At once juicy and elegant, delightfully dry with some real structure, racy acidity and a long mineral finish. Drink it young or hold for up to 3 years.
‘22 Cabernet Franc Reserve | Dark garnet core and brilliant clarity in the glass. Intense, effusively luscious flavors of ripe red berries with caramelized notes of fig, cherry and plum elegantly woven together in barrel. Long finishing and tannically vivid, yet with a remarkably soft palate.
‘21 Barbera Reserve | Elegantly earthy with raspberry and vivid cherry notes. It is the favorite discovery in red wines for palates previously tending toward whites and with any requirement of avoiding bold tannins.
Philéo | A non-vintage composition of Moscato Ottonel, Traminette and Vidal, a truly beautiful and friendly dessert wine, with bright, refreshing peach and honeysuckle aromas, gentle sweetness and carefully preserved acidity.
