Same Grape, Different Stories: Cabernet Franc Across Virginia
Tuesday June 9, 2026 1:45pm - 3:00pm EDT
The Jefferson Hotel
Cabernet Franc has become one of Virginia’s most compelling calling cards—fresh, lifted, and quietly complex. This guided tasting explores five distinct expressions of the state’s most planted grape, ranging from bright, red-fruited and floral to savory, herbal, and peppery; from lighter, chillable styles to more structured, cellar-worthy bottlings. Along the way, discover how site and winemaking philosophy shape style; often as much as geography itself.
