I completely left out the 4th Annual Manasses Wine and Jazz Festival from my WWA post below. They have some good performers and great wineries. Note, this is not a whole weekend festival, it is only on Sunday.

Looking for fun stuff to do this weekend? Breaux is having their 11th annual Cajun Festival -- this is always a great time!

Clifton is also holding their second annual wine festival.

Looking to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at your favorite winery this weekend? You are in luck. Veramar is celebrating St. Patrick's Day with live entertainment and Irish Faire. On Sunday, you can go to Bluemont Vineyard has their Celtic Celbration on Sunday (and they should be releasing some new wines this weekend).

Whichever way you go, enjoy!

I have not been very good with my WWAs lately, but with Spring and Summer upon us that will have to change.

This weekend's WWA is The Reston Great Grapes Festival held at Reston Town Center. Admission is $25 at the festival, $20 in advance. Wineries in attendance include: Rockbridge, Lake Anna, Peaks of Otter, Stone Mountain, Horton (how can such a big winery have such an ugly website?) and Veramar (I can't wait to pick up a bottle of their Cabernet Franc).

It looks like a lot of fun!

WWAs for this weekend:

1. Alliance Francaise is celebrating Beaujolais Nouveau a day late with a wine and cheese party


2. Also on Friday, The Wine Specialist is offering a tasting of wines from Barboursville


3. On Saturday, Pearmund Cellars is having their Beast Feast


4. Saturday and Sunday Veramar Vineyards will be hosting their holiday open house

I'll be at Veramar :). Whatever you do, have fun!
