Nokesville Winery
February 24, 2024. Hello Readers and welcome our 101st blog post on Virginia wineries. Looking at our first few efforts, we have come a long way. We do hear from readers who ask for even more information, especially in tasting notes. Going forward, I’ll try to provide some useful information without needlessly over-specifying. Let’s profile Nokesville Winery off of Route 28 in Nokesville, Prince William County, near Bristow and Manassas. Your initial impression driving up to the winery is that this is a garage operation and you’d be correct. But it resembles the garagistes in that the founder-owner-winemaker Dustin Miner, grows almost all of his grapes and produces all of his wine on-site. That is a large garage where the unadorned tasting room and its seating coexist with stainless steel tanks in one large space. Atmosphere is very casual. No fireplaces. There is a side patio for outside seating in warmer months. (I didn’t see any space heaters). Nokesville i
