As Virginians take part in Women’s History Month celebrations across the state this March, the Virginia Women in Wine Trail offers the chance to connect with the incredible women shaping the future of Virginia’s wine industry.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, February 16, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — A project of Virginia Women in Wine, the Virginia Women in Wine Trail is a curated route through local women-owned or women-centered wineries and vineyards, offering participants the opportunity to explore, taste, and enjoy a variety of wines while experiencing the unique charm of the region. Over several weeks, visitors can attend special events, tastings, and tours at each stop along the trail, making it a perfect way to discover the area’s women-in-winemaking culture.

“The Virginia Women in Wine Trail is a celebration of the passion, talent, and leadership of women shaping the future of Virginia’s wine industry,” says Hailey Zurschmeide Holdsworth, chair of the 2025 Virginia Women in Wine Trail. “This trail not only showcases exceptional wines but also highlights the dedication and craftsmanship of the women behind each bottle. We invite wine lovers to explore, sip, and support the incredible women who are redefining Virginia wine.”
