Belmont Farm Distillery is one of eight wineries, breweries and distilleries participating in the 2025 Sips of Culpeper beverage exploration trail.

After a successful 2024 debut with more than 500 prizes awarded, the Culpeper County Department of Economic Development is ready to do it again.

The inaugural Sips of Culpeper beverage exploration trail, launched in April 2024. encourages residents to explore the county’s diverse array of wineries, breweries and distilleries.

The program works on an interactive passport system, combined with unique prizes and a wide variety of beverage experiences.

“Sips of Culpeper was designed to highlight the incredible craftsmanship behind our local hand-crafted beverages,” Business Development Manager Winona Pritts said in a news release. “It was inspiring to see residents embrace the opportunity to explore a variety of locations across the county, discovering new favorites along the way. This program has truly highlighted the shared pride in Culpeper’s rich beverage heritage.”

Passports are available now for 2025. Participants who collect five stamps will earn a Sips of Culpeper stemless wine glass, while those who complete the second tier by collecting an additional seven stamps will receive an exclusive 2025 Sips of Culpeper hat.

Passports are available at any of the eight participating locations: Beer Hound Brewing Company, Belmont Farms Distillery, Death Ridge Brewery, Far Gohn Brewing Company, Mountain Run Winery, Old House Vineyards, Old Trade Brewery & Cidery, and WAR Craft Brewery, Cidery, and Distillery.

The program runs through Dec. 31, "giving participants plenty of time to savor the tastes of Culpeper," the release said.
