Eagletree Farm may be best known as the place to pick strawberries in June, but it also churns out barrels of sweet, fruity wines. You can come to the farm to buy a bottle, or check them out at McKeever's Pub in McLean. The nearby restaurant offers up glasses of the Tannat, which comes in a dark rouge hue and tastes of black cherry. whereas the white Viognier trends more toward cool and crisp, slightly acidic and full of sweet, fruity undertones.
If you're just in it for the blueberry picking, though, head to Eagletree Farm in June or July (when blueberries are perfectly purple and plump). You won't be slowed down by or overcharged for any gimmicks or extras here. It's solely a blueberry patch where you and your friends or family can run around, plucking fresh blueberries right from their stems. By the time you leave, you'll probably have enough fruit to make a few batches of blueberry pancakes or a blueberry-flecked coffee cake.
