I had no idea my home state had wine this good. I’m representing WordPress.com at the Wine Tourism Conference in Leesburg, Virginia this week — talking to winery owners and wine trail guides about the work they do, and learning about the passion and pride that go into wine making — and I’m learning all about my region while I’m here.

Wine makers and promoters have come from as far as Portugal, Nova Scotia, and California for the conference’s first visit to the east coast of the US, and it’s here in Virginia. Where I live.

I’m taking notes for when my husband and I need a weekend getaway.
