Wine Country in the Winter
DC’s Wine Country doesn’t sleep during the winter, and Reston Limousine offers a variety of ways you can get a break from the stress of holiday shopping!
Guests on our Dec. 12 public wine tour, for instance, can enjoy fine wine and fine jewelry at The Winery at La Grange’s showcase featuring Debra Fabian’s unique creations. The wine tour begins at Pearmund Cellars, followed by a visit to its sister winery, The Winery at La Grange. Visit our online Reservations page to book your seat!
But you don’t have to wait for one of our public wine tours to enjoy the wineries’ daytime or evening events; Reston Limousine also provides private wine tours that cater to parties from couples to large groups. Please call 703-478-0500 and press 1 for sales to inquire about private tours.

Driver Spotlight: Dinah Shuman
Our company mission is to exceed client expectations by providing the highest quality of service possible in a timely manner, and our 160 drivers make it possible for us to successfully complete that mission every day.
One example is Dinah Shuman, who was behind the wheel for a recent Public Wine Tour to Willowcroft Farm Vineyards and Corcoran Vineyards.
I just wanted to reiterate how much we appreciated our limo driver, Dinah Shuman, during our Public wine tour on Saturday.
There was a group of 14 of us, and we took the tour as part of a birthday celebration for a friend of ours. We were playing games on the bus, and asked her to play a music CD. Anything we asked her to do, she did without hestitation and a smile on her face. She never once complained to us about the noise level on the bus (at times we were very loud).
I honestly don’t think my friend’s birthday would have been as much fun if we didn’t have such a great limo driver. I’m sure this isn’t the first time she has been recognized, but I feel like you should know what a great employee you have.
Reston Limo is so lucky to have a person like Dinah to represent your company! I had such a great experience, I would not hesitate to take Reston Limo again! Thanks again!
Kudos to Dinah,
Anju Vij
