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.

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.

December's Featured Winery: Michael ShapsFlight Menu | $45 '23 Maison Shaps Bouzeron Les Clous Aligoté | Aligoté is produced in a non-traditional method, which includes a pre-press maceration for six hours, followed by a barrel fermentation, sur-lie aging, and full malolactic fermentation in older oak barrels. Thus, creating a single varietal Aligote that is richer, deeper, and more aromatic. This Aligoté came from two vineyard sites-one in Savigny-les-Beaune and the other in Bouzeron. The bright fruit notes express citrus and honeysuckle, while the palate has the crisp varietal acidity and good balance and length that is attributed to the pre-fermentation maceration.'22 Maison Shaps Bourgogne Les Chazots Chardonnay | Bourgogne Chardonnay is made in the traditional Burgundian manner which gives it a full body a rich mouth feels while maintaining elevated acidity to keep the wine balanced and refreshing. This vintage was warmer than usual and allowed us to harvest the fruit before we even got to September. The warmer temps meant riper fruit, which allowed for bigger fruit flavors and a smoother texture. It is an excellent wine to enjoy on its own but will also lend itself well to a wide array of food pairings like charcuterie, soft cheeses, and white fish. This bottle is ready to be opened now but can continue to be cellared for about another 2-3 years.'23 Maison Shaps Maison Dieu | The "Maison Dieu" lieu-dit is well known in the Cote de Beaune as having a special story and unique terroir. The wine exhibits velvety, dark fruit with hints of classic Pommard earth and depth, making this wine worthy of its single vineyard designation. Though classified as a Bourgogne Pinot Noir, this wine offers much more complexity and length that its AOC delineation indicates.'22 Maison Shaps Pommard Les Vaumuriens | Pommard exhibits all the classical flavors typically associated with Pommard like dark fruit and earthy undertones. Black cherry, blackberry, and violets dominate the nose while mushroom and potting soil round out the long finish. This is a very age-worthy wine, capable of being cellared for about 10 years.'21 Michael Shaps Raisin d'Être Petit Manseng | Raisin d'Être White is made from grapes that have been dried in our tobacco barns. During the drying process the sugar goes from 28% up to 36%, essentially raising the grapes and giving it its name. Our Raisin d'Etre has tropical and candied fruit notes that are balanced by the nice acidity. This wine has great aging potential. It pairs well with cheese and non-chocolate desserts.Join Michael Shaps at our Monthly Winemaker Dinner:
