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.

Grace Estate Winery was established in 2013 with the mission to create wine that exhibited the unique aspects of our Mount Juliet Vineyard. Now more than 20 years after its initial planting, our vineyard yields unsurpassed quality with each harvest, exemplifying the terroir of the Monticello region. The vineyards, as old as 25th leaf, are planted on various soils, and include 12 grape varieties from white wine varietals Viognier, Chardonnay, Petit Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, Vidal Blanc to red wine varietals Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon.
