EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Published on September 4, 2019 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: The Winery at Bull Run Fall will be in full force in just a few short weeks, and we are so ready for pumpkin carving, pulling those cozy sweaters out of storage and watching Hocus Pocus at least a dozen times. We recently stumbled upon the latest addition to our fall bucket list and think you'll want to join in on the festive fun, too—a haunted winery tour in the gorgeous Virginia countryside. You Can Winery Hop Through Napa & Sonoma in a Vintage VW Bus The Winery at Bull Run, located in Northern Virginia, is the closest winery to Washington, D.C., and lies adjacent to a historic Civil War battle site. According to the winery's website, "it should come as no surprise that tales of shadowy apparitions, orbs and unexplained cannon fire abound," due to the close proximity to the Manassas Battlefield. You can experience both the haunts and award-winning vino at the winery with their lantern-led walking tours and wine tastings on Thursday and Friday nights from September 18-November 16. The tour will be accompanied with Civil War ghost stories and potentially a haunted encounter of your own! (We might need a few glasses of wine to make it through this tour!) Hilarious Food Costumes to Win Halloween This Year The Haunted Wine Tour offers seven different tastings along the hour-long experience, as well as run-ins with several notorious characters. Don't worry, no one will jump out and scare you—the spirits tend to keep to themselves. Full disclosure: Individual tickets for the haunted wine tour are sold out, so you'll need to join Bull Run's wine club to score a pair of your own (or wait until next year when regular tickets go on sale again). Tickets are $45 per person; be sure to buy them ASAP, because they are selling out fast! Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
