The fella and I like drinking wine and trying out new places.While we were in the area visiting his family, he said "....isn't there a winery around here?"To which I responded "Well, there HAS to be! And we're going!"A quick google search revealed Chateau Du Vieux Corbeau.It is just up the street from the Pioneer Playhouse and right next to a charming looking Inn.We got there around 5pm, and they are open until 6pm most days. There was only one woman working, and she was finishing up with a group already there, ringing up their purchases and chit chatting.A tasting, including all of the available wines costs only $2, and bottles are very reasonably priced. All of their wine is aged in stainless steel, as the winemaker has an oak allergy. It's an interesting thing to do. I personally love oakiness in my dry wines, so I kind of missed the flavor, but if you don't like it they have wines for you! And many of the wines don't have any added sugar. They weren't my most favorite wines, but I found several that I enjoyed!The woman running the tasting was wonderful! Friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine as well as the surrounding area, giving tips on things to do in Danville.If you are only intending on doing a tasting, bring cash since it is only $2 per person. But credit cards are accepted and a bottle is around $10. We left with 3 bottles between us!Should you want to have some wine while in Danville, I would certainly recommend paying Chateau du Vieux Corbeau!
