This is the time of year we work on updating information on the Cedar Spring Inn website. Researching our Activities section is always most interesting; we see so clearly what has changed in the Charlottesville area. Amazingly in the last year there have been five new wineries added to the Monticello Wine Trail, and two existing wineries now have significant new ownership.  Here are the changes:

Early Mountain Vineyards (previously Sweely Estate Winery); www.earlymountain.com  18 miles from Cedar Spring Inn

Grace Estate Winery, Crozet;  www.graceestatewinery.com  

Kilaurwen Winery LLC, Stanardsville;  www.KilaurwenWinery.com   14 miles from Cedar Spring Inn

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard, North Garden; www.pippinhillfarm.com   25 miles from Cedar Spring Inn

Reynard Florence Vineyard, Barboursville; www.raynardflorence.com   8 miles from Cedar Spring Inn

Stinson Vineyards, Crozet;  www.stinsonvineyards.com   17 miles from Cedar Spring Inn

Trump Winery (previously Kluge Winery);  www.trumpwinery.com   25 miles from Cedar Spring Inn
