The Wines of the Brandywine Valley
The Brandywine Valley in southeastern Chester County is just about two hours by car from New York City and Washington DC and less from Baltimore which makes it a great destination for a close-to-home getaway weekend or short vacation for wine enthusiasts.
Good Food and Wine Go Together in the Brandywine
While most visitors come to the Brandywine Valley to experience the former DuPont estates, now museums and gardens open to the public, many are surprised by the number of world-class restaurants that call the area home and the award-winning wines that are created here from locally grown grapes. It's the soil and micro-climate here in southern Chester County, PA that make the area particularly well suited to growing many varieties of grapes.
Brandywine Valley & Chester County Wineries
Chaddsford Winery in Chadds Ford, PA, is the largest and best known of the southern Chester County wineries. Located less than a mile from the Brandywine River Museum it is a destination for tastings, concerts and events such as it's annual Labor Day Weekend Jazz Festival an end of summer ritual offering up cool wines and hot jazz. Perhaps best known for their Chardonnay, their wines include Merican, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir. In 2008 Chaddsford Winery was named to Wine Enthusiast's list of "America's Top 25 Tasting Rooms".
