Greetings fellow wine and dog lovers! My co-founder, Jeremy and I recently took a road trip to Charlottesville, VA with our dachshunds Bentley and Greta. Naturally, we used Corkhounds.com  to discover some dog-friendly wineries in the area. We normally base our choices on dog-friendliness, proximity to other wineries, and Google ratings, all of which our site pulls together.

Blenheim Vineyards is a winery dedicated to making high quality wines that reflect the climate, soil and beauty of the landscape. Founded in 2000 on the historic Blenheim estate in Albemarle County, the goal at Blenheim Vineyards is to bottle wine from single vineyards and small parcels to capture the distinct characteristics of each site.

Designed by owner Dave Matthews and master craftsman William Johnson, the winery at Blenheim Vineyards provides a unique and intimate setting for tasting wine. Its great windows allow visitors to gaze out over vineyards to Jefferson's "sea view" beyond. Paneled glass floors provide a bird's-eye view of the wine production facilities below.
