We always find that wine tasting takes the stress of driving north on I95. We recently visited Potomac Point Vineyard & Winery. The winery is in Stafford about a 12-minute drive off the highway.
 
It is a Tuscan-styled winery, vineyard, and bistro nestled in the heart of Northern Virginia.  The rolling vineyards and Potomac Point’s indoor and outdoor areas create a memorable wine & culinary experience.

The winery is still operating under some COVID restrictions and tasting ($20) are limited to select flights. We did not do a tasting, but rather decided to select a wine from their list along with a white wine cheese platter. The Petit Manseng (2018) and the platter were amazing. On our return from visiting family, we were stalled in traffic when we spotted the Potomac Winery sign. Since our earlier trip was amazing and it was lunch time, we decided to visit the winery again. This time we choose the charcuterie platter and again the Petit Manseng. What a great lunch!

We asked our server whether they recognized AWS membership. He wasn’t sure but asked his manager. Well. They did and we received a 10% discount. So just because you don’t see the “AWS WELCOME” sign, don’t be afraid to ask. So, the next time you are traveling on I95, take a short side trip and experience some amazing wine, amazing scenery, and great food.
Cheers!

Thank you Stan & Tess for sharing your experience. Since you've gone there a couple times, it's nice to know you have a go-to place for a break when traveling up north.
