Visiting Virginia’s local wineries is always a good idea. That’s especially true if you can get together with your closest friends and not have to worry about who will drive. That’s what makes the Trolley Tours of Fredericksburg so special. This company offers a one-of-a-kind wine tour in Virginia that will shuttle you to a handful of delightful local wineries in the area. Providing fun and safe transportation, this wine-themed trolley tour is one you won’t want to miss!
Trolley Tours of Fredericksburg offers a unique wine-tasting experience out of Fredericksburg. Hop aboard the vehicle, sit back, and relax as the trolley safely transports you from one unique winery to another.
The entire experience takes around 4.5 hours, and you’ll get to experience three wineries in total. Each destination will offer a brief tour of the grounds, a bit of history, and a tasting for those that are interested in sampling local Virginia wine. In addition to the tastings, the tour also includes a boxed lunch and water. In between tours, you’ll love glancing out of your window and enjoying stunning views of Spotsylvania County.
The current wineries included in the tour include Lake Anna Winery, Mattaponi Winery, and Eden Try Estate & Winery. Virginia Is For Wine Lovers – Visit Over 300 Wineries In VA.

Lake Anna Winery
Second generation, Family-Owned and operated, established 1989 on 75 beautiful, rolling acres in Spotsylvania, County, Virginia. Lake Anna Winery proudly offers Award-Winning Wines from Estate Grown Grapes. Family, Friendly, and Affordable
The winery is housed in an old barn located on the Heidig farm. Built for dairy cows in the 1940s, adapting this structure for a winery proved to be a real challenge.
In 2000, a major undertaking started with the concurrent building of a new, open, multi-use tasting room, a climate-controlled case-goods warehouse and a new tank room/crush pad that would more than double the previous production area capacity. After a year of construction, work was finished, and the new tasting room opened in the spring of 2001.
About the same time, the well-respected winemaking consultant, Brad McCarthy, had been hired to oversee cellar operations and in the spring of 2001. In May of 2001, Graham Bell was brought on board and in late 2002, the winery business was sold to the two brothers. Bill continues to manage the vineyard, with Jeff and Eric owning and operating the winery business.
The goal for future expansion is to further expand production to 8-10,000 cases per year in order to be able to have Jeff involved full-time. In 2002, production grew to 4,000 cases, and 2003 production reached 5,500 cases.
The winery hold lots of events throughout the year. Also is a venue for special occasions.
