The MIT Club of Washington DC is excited to offer a VIP wine tasting and vineyard tour of Tarara Winery, rated one of the best in Virginia. Located in historic Leesburg, Virginia, this picturesque vineyard spans nearly 475 acres along the tranquil Potomac River.

Whether you are a sophisticated wine connoisseur or a novice, you will enjoy the wine, food, tour, and Course V education on fermentation science.

We coordinated directly with the owners of the winery to ensure a perfectly delightful event. The fun begins with a guided cave tour. Next, we will be treated to a reserve wine tasting with delicious hors d'oeuvres selected to enhance the tasting experience.
