We are pleased to announce that our Virginia Brut sparkling wine won a Silver medal in the 2012 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition! Our Virginia Brut is a limited-production sparkling wine, made using the traditional méthode champenoise – a time and labor-intensive method used in the Champagne region of France in which each bottle undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, producing lovely pinpoint bubbles.

Our Syrah Release transforms the courtyard into a French outdoor café
April 2012
On April 28 & 29, Ingleside celebrated the release of its 2007 Syrah with a weekend-long event. Since our Syrah is made in the French Rhone style, we transformed our courtyard into a French outdoor café, complete with an outdoor bar, French music on the PA, and baguettes and cheese. The Tides Inn Market of Colonial Beach, VA created delicious platters of gourmet cheeses, sausage and olives which were available for sale, along with French baguettes. On Saturday, the weather was overcast and a bit chilly so we also created an indoor Bistro for guests who preferred to be under cover. On Sunday, the sun came out and guests were able to fully enjoy the beauty of the courtyard.
