DuCard Vineyards and Estate at Meander Gold Medal Experience

An intimate autumn experience celebrating award-winning Virginia wine, seasonal dining and countryside hospitality. Join DuCard Vineyards and The Estate at Meander for an intimate autumn experience celebrating award-winning Virginia wine, seasonal farm-to-table dining, and historic countryside hospitality. Your journey begins at 12:00 PM on Saturday November 14th at DuCard Vineyards, bordering Shenandoah National Park at the western edge of Madison County. Personally hosted by the Owner, enjoy DuCard’s Gold Medal Wine Flights & Vineyard Tour with special pours of its gold medal winning wines presented in crystal glassware and accompanied by light bites and conversation. Walk the vineyard rows to discover the care and techniques behind DuCard’s wines, then explore the winery and barrel room. A seated tasting offers a special opportunity to sample wines still aging in oak and learn how they develop before bottling. A second tasting session will feature sparkling wines, with samples both from DuCard and around the world. Following the experience, make the approximately 30-minute drive to The Estate at Meander. Settle into your suite or cottage if staying overnight, then gather for our signature four-course Table Experience dinner in the historic Manor House. Your $299-per-person experience includes: • DuCard’s private wine tastings (two sessions) • Vineyard and winery tour • A bottle of The Reverend wine – a special Bordeaux-style blend crafted in ode to Meander’s original builder – awaiting you in your room or presented at Meander to take home • The Estate Meander’s signature four-course Table Experience dinner at the Harvest & Hearth Bistro • Complimentary Estate breakfast for overnight guests Space is limited.
