Effingham Manor Winery, Nokesville

We are heading up to Jiffy Lube Live to catch a concert, because we wanted to miss traffic we left kind of early and had some time to kill. We Googled things to do and Effingham Winery popped up so we thought we'd go take a peek. I'm not much of a drinker myself, but my wife very much enjoyed all their Reds. The gentleman doing the taste in for my wife was very informative and friendly. I found the place pretty fascinating lots of History. They have a tree out front that was brought back by Lewis and Clark, only one of two in existence. They still had a few of the old buildings set up, and old slave house and Smokehouse. They also have the first ever cement pool that they made into a koi pond now. Inside the manor had all kinds of historical things to look at, paintings another revolutionary and Civil War mementos. The upstairs had all kinds of cute little rooms. It was very cool to walk around and check everything out. My wife and I spent about an hour there and very much enjoyed it.

Such an amazing place to go for the day. The grounds are gorgeous, and our host gave us so much information on the history, and even a tour. We will definitely be back!
