About this Event
One of Virginia’s premier wineries, Linden Vineyards is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, 60 miles west of Washington DC. The entire wine production of 4,000 cases comes exclusively from three distinct vineyard sites. Linden is best known for single vineyard bottlings of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Bordeaux variety red blends.
Jancis Robinson wrote in her book The Wine Bible, "[Jim Law of Linden Vineyards] is a key figure in raising standards in Virginia grape-growing...whose wines have been exceptional almost from when he started in the 1980s.” Jim is considered the Father of Northern Virginia Wine and has been the key teacher for countless successful winemakers in the area. Many local winemakers are very proud to share that they did their apprenticeship with Jim Law. His dedication to the Northern Virginia terroir and producing responsible wines with classic, international flavor profiles has risen our closest wine region to great heights.
We are so excited to be hosting his current winemaking and grape growing apprentice - his son-in-law Alex Wilde - to Vermilion to share his insights on Linden and Northern Virginia wine production. He will walk us through four of his wines paired with a fine, four-course meal by Chef Anthony Chittum highlighting the fresh ingredients from Mid-Atlantic farmers.
This meal will be one to remember! We are keeping things intimate, with our small tavern dining room, so tickets will be limited!

- Linden Vineyards, Avenius Sauvignon Blanc, 2020
- Linden Vineyards, Village Chardonnay, 2018

Due to the nature of these pairings, we cannot substitute dishes to accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions. Small modifications can be made to be approved by on a case by case basis. For questions, please email Erin Dudley at [email protected]
