Join us for an elevated evening of wine, learning, and discovery at Pours to Explore, a new tasting series presented by the Loudoun Wineries & Winegrowers Association.

This intimate, walk-around experience is designed for guests who want to go beyond the glass - offering the opportunity to taste with intention while engaging directly with some of Loudoun County’s top producers. The evening will highlight three standout styles: beautiful Rosés, crisp Petit Manseng and bold Petit Verdot, showcasing the depth and growing sophistication of the region.

A featured sommelier will open the event with insights into Loudoun’s terroir, grape varieties, and winemaking philosophies, and will be available throughout the evening to guide your experience and answer questions.

Enjoy a refined yet relaxed atmosphere with an abundant grazing table of artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and seasonal accompaniments. This is not a festival—it’s an educational wine experience curated for those who appreciate quality, storytelling, and connection.

Wines will be available for purchase.

Perfect for wine lovers looking to deepen their understanding of Loudoun County wines in an intimate and engaging setting.
