Highway Cleanup Effort Assures Winery Guests Beautiful Views To Match its Beautiful Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"On a bright, breezy day in late March, staff from Rappahannock Cellars donned work clothes and boots and hit Zachary Taylor Highway armed with orange trash bags and a can-do attitude. It was time to cleanup a two-mile section of its Adopt-A-Highway road.<\/p>\n

The Virginia Department of Transportation created the program in 1988. The winery has been a participant in the statewide beautification effort for five years.\u00a0The volunteer supported program sponsors 6,800 groups who keep 13,000 miles of road litter free across the State.<\/p>\n

During the spring cleanup, the winery devoted nearly thirty man hours in gathering twenty-five bags of trash. Allan Delmare, Marketing Manger for the winery, said, \u201cThe removal of trash along the highway that borders our vineyards is just one example our commitment to a clean environment. And frankly, it\u2019s a fun and satisfying way to help keep Rappahannock County the most beautiful spot in Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n

For individuals and groups interested in adopting a section of the Old Dominion\u2019s highways or byways contact the Virginia Department of\u00a0Transportation.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
