LoCo brewery and winery day

xxxian08 · 04-16-2016, 05:50 PM

After cutting the grass and doing the usual crappy housework, I washed the E90 and then went out for a scenic drive in Western Loudoun County to a brewery and winery.

The car was beautiful and shiny as we headed to Old690 brewery in Hillsboro, VA for a pint and lunch. First 1/2 mile dirt road and the poor car was covered in dust. Lunch from the Cured food truck was delicious as usual and the local beer was awesome as well.

Next we drove to Stone Tower Vineyard which included about 4 miles of dirt road which covered the car in more fine dust. The wine was underwhelming and not up to the standards of other LoCo wine.

TIL: M3s are not rally cars; wash the car AFTER visiting the wineries and breweries; avoid Stone Tower.

I got caught on a dirt road in LC two years ago in my modded 335....horrible experience. Why are there still dirt/gravel roads in NOVA?!?!?!?

almost all roads into a winery are dirt/gravel; I stay away

that's why having a second car/beater is key....
