at the Golden Vineyard or whatever it is called in DCA. It is adjacent to the Wine Country Trattoria restaurant. They do wine tastings, port tastings, and you can choose cheese or chocolate to go with. We got 3 glasses of port, variously aged, and 3 kinds of Ghirardelli chocolate of various intensities to pair with them. The...steward? not sure what that person is called...told us all about the port and we had a blast mixing and matching chocolate with port. At $12.50, I thought it was great fun at a great price! They do this from noon to 4.
We also tried the wine that is made specifically for the Disney resort. It's from Italy and it's called Magicale or something like that. Pricey, but fun. We bought a bottle for our mom, which was interesting because they walk you all the way to your hotel with it! Or maybe it's just outside the resort. We were staying at GCH so I am not exactly sure how far they'd take you if you were off site. Anyway, it's kind of sparkly and fruity, not a dry wine, so it probably wouldn't appeal to those who prefer something with more bite. Can't say since I'm not a wine drinker. I figure since I liked it it must not be very good wine
