The Heritage Hunt Wine Chapter

The Heritage Hunt Chapter is open to all wine enthusiasts, be they professional or amateur - from the person who has a fully stocked wine bar to the individual who simply enjoys an occasional glass or two. And one need not live in our community to be a member. Our annual membership fee is $15/couple and $10/single.

For $20 per person, our monthly wine tastings provide a sampling of Virginia, US and International wines and snacks with a guest speaker who enhances our knowledge of wine and wine-making.
