Governor’s Cup Winners Tour
Reston Limousine’s weekend Wine Tours are packed with award-winning wineries that continue to garner recognition for their efforts. Most recently, two wineries on our upcoming schedule of wine tours brought home silver and bronze medals in the 2010 Governor’s Cup (Red) Wine competition:
Sunset Hills Vineyard brought home two silver awards for the 2008 Cabernet Franc and 2008 Petit Verdot, and three bronzes for the 2008 Reserve Cabernet Franc Reserve, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 “Sunset Red.”
Notaviva Vineyards took home a silver for its 2009 “Cantabile” Cabernet Franc and a bronze for the 2008 “Johann” Petit Verdot.
Fortuitously, we’ve already paired this winning duo on upcoming wine tours scheduled for Feb. 19, March 6 and 26! To schedule your Reston Limousine wine tour to Notaviva and Sunset Hills Vineyard, visit our Calendar page at www.restonlimo.com.
