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

Blogger’s Wine Tour Part 2
After visiting Casanel Vineyards and Dry Mill Vineyards, the Reston Limousine Blogger’s Wine Tour resumed our travels to our next destinations on the Loudoun Wine Trail’s Harmony Cluster.
Bill Hatch offers tastings at Zephaniah Farm Vineyard
Our group arrived at Zephaniah Farm Vineyard, Loudoun’s smallest winery and open only by appointment. Bill Hatch and his wife, Bonnie Archer, led us into the wonderful 1830 manor house that serves as one of the most unique tasting rooms we’ve visited. At the entry, Bill showed us a black and white photograph that included his great-grandfather, Zephaniah Jefferson Hatch, for whom the winery is named.
Barrel tasting with Zephaniah winemaker Bill Hatch
The home’s rich history was evident in the antique furniture and photographs placed throughout the tasting room, which once served as a parlor. Following the tastings of their Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, Bill was joined by his son and fellow winemaker, Tremain, in explaining his family’s winemaking process downstairs as he offered barrel tastings for the group.
Willowcroft Farm Vineyards' collection of medals graces its tasting room
We could easily have spent the entire day at Zephaniah, but the final stop on our our tour awaited: Willowcroft Farm Vineyards, Loudoun’s original winery. Celebrating 25 years this year, the award-winning Willowcroft is a popular destination on the wine trail and often hosts celebrations such as the bridal shower taking place that day.
Tasting at Willowcroft Farm Vineyards
Tastings take place in a historic red barn, and when the heights on Mt. Gilead aren’t shrouded in mist and light rain as it was on Saturday, great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains can be had from the picnic area. The weather dissuaded us from taking self-guided tours of the farm, unfortunately.
Flush with the tastings of the day, we headed back to the bus and our driver, James, and admired his handiwork in creating our names out of copper wire. If you ever meet him on the Reston Limo DC tour, be sure to ask him for a song!
