Today, I stopped by Three Fox Vineyards to enjoy the harvest festival. Three Fox Vineyards is a beautiful 50 rolling acres vineyards tucked away in Northern Virginia’s horse country. The views at Three Fox Vineyards are breathtaking. After enjoying a full tasting and perhaps buying a bottle of Sangiovese, one can take a leisurely stroll through the vineyards or nap in the hammocks next to the lazily flowing stream.
