The Longest Weekend of the Year
Juneteenth on Friday, the summer solstice on Saturday, Father’s Day on Sunday — and Hazy Mountain turning five in between. Here’s your guide to the weekend across 63 venues in Charlottesville wine country.
Venue Spotlight: Hazy Mountain Vineyards
Afton, VA · Est. 2021 · hazy-mountain.com
Hazy Mountain is a family-owned estate winery with 86 acres of vineyards tucked into the Blue Ridge, straddling both the Monticello and Shenandoah Valley AVAs. Perched off Route 151 in Afton, they’ve spent the last five years making wines that let the land do the talking — and this weekend, they turn five.
The anniversary festivities are in full swing this weekend. On Saturday, their Production Tour & Tasting (1pm) takes you behind the scenes, and the 5th Anniversary Gala Wine Dinner (6pm) brings a multi-course feast — filet mignon, lobster, and the best of the cellar. Sunday rounds it out with a Candle Making Workshop at 2pm.
This Saturday: 5th Anniversary Gala Wine Dinner — multi-course menu with filet mignon & lobster, paired with estate wines. 6:00 PM. See full events calendar →
