Check Out These Winery Events in August - Northern Virginia Magazine

As Taylor Swift's iconic song "August" says, "August sipped away like a bottle of wine." Sip away at these seven wineries as they host events that range from live music to a low country boil to a crocheting workshop.  

Listen to Live Music 

August 13 and August 20, 2–5 p.m. 

Enjoy the sound of live music at Three Fox Vineyards & Brewery this month. August 13 brings solo artist Kevin Caffrey on the guitar. On August 20, you can hear the father-daughter duo band, The Cold North. They play a variety of styles on the guitar, ukulele, and banjo. The venue is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring the pooch. 10100 Three Fox Ln., Delaplane 

Enjoy Sunday Brunch 

August 13, 11 a.m.–6 p.m. 

Potomac Point Winery has a recurring Sunday brunch, with the next one happening on August 13. You can eat indoors at the D'Vine Lounge, on the outdoor courtyard, or on the veranda.
