First Tasting at Burnley Vineyards



Burnley is an AWESOME vineyard! There tastings cost $2.00.  We liked all the wines here but the Chardonnay and the Dog Gone Red.

I bought these wines at Burnley: Rivanna Sunset (rose), Rubix (port), Somerset (very sweet), Peach Fuzz, Rivanna Red (dry red). All are excellent. 


My favorites are the Sunset, Rubix, Somerset and Peach Fuzz. The port is exceptional, but so are the rest. Also, good for special occasions is their Aurora (which is their chocolate flavored wine).  

On another note: Peach Fuzz goes great with a cheap sparkling wine on New Years Eve.
