A Toast to Virginia Wine Month in the Heart of Scottsville
This October, join us riverside in historic Scottsville, Virginia, for the first-ever River Bend Wine Festival – a celebration of community, craft, and Virginia Wine Month.
Enjoy tastings from some of Virginia’s most exciting boutique wineries, many pouring alongside their winemakers. Sip and stroll through our charming downtown square, listen to live music, shop local artisan goods, and soak in the beauty of fall along the James River.
Whether you’re a longtime wine lover or just looking for a perfect fall day trip, this event is your chance to experience Virginia wine in a whole new way.
Small Town. Big Flavor. Rich History.
Founded in 1744 and once the capital of Albemarle County, Scottsville is a hidden gem tucked along the James River in Central Virginia. Its history runs deep – from its role in Virginia’s canal era to Civil War lore – and today it’s home to vibrant small businesses, family-run wineries, and one of the most picturesque riverfronts in the state.
The festival takes place at Canal Basin Square, an open-air museum and park built on the original canal turning basin. It’s a scenic, historic space surrounded by charming brick storefronts and views of the river. There’s no better place to raise a glass during Virginia Wine Month.
