"Billed as the only local winery with a lakefront view, Gainesville’s Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm sits about 40 miles outside D.C. The family-run farm plants grapes, fruit, and hops to produce an array of award-winning wines (like its 2021 Chardonnay), beers, and ciders. The scenic setting right on Manassas Lake lends well to frequent live music, comedy shows, and movie nights, with rotating food trucks serving everything from bratwurst to tacos. Open Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m. and until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturday for all ages 16 and up." - Tierney Plumb
