expect from an extremely fast race, run on an extremely narrow and treacherous
course!  And the Three Fox Palio offers all the same excitement! 
Here’s how it works:
We’ll run three races, with four horses and their jockeys (horses are of the
‘hobby horse’ breed, not real horses!) The winner of each race wins a $50 cash prize! 
But the Palio is not just about the horses and jockeys - it’s also about the fans! 
Fans will pick their winning horse/jockey before the race.  If the fan’s jockey wins,
they get a 10% discount on wine! Races Begin at 2pm. Horses are assigned on a
first come, first serve basis, so get here early to sign up to race in the Palio!!

John Chapman's Civil War Nightmare

Chapman Beverley Mill...... 11am - 4pm

interpreting Ellen Chapman, the widow of John Chapman, the last Chapman to own the
mill, which in 1860 was the largest industry in Prince William County, one of the most
industrialized counties in Virginia.
Learn the fate of John Chapman and how his nephew, Frank Williams, an officer in
Mosby’s Rangers who captured Union General Stoughton from his bed in Fairfax, may

economically, physically and emotionally by the Civil war and died at the Staunton
Asylum for Lunatics in 1866. Additional reenactments will take place.
Admission: $5.00 per person; Children under 12 are free. For directions to Chapman/Beverley Mill, please visit www.chapmansmill.org.

wine glass, a tasting after the tour, and a 10% discount on all wine purchased. The tour is
usually led by our winemaker but occasionally may be led by a member of the winemaker's
team. The tour consists of a stroll through the vines, with stops along the way to point out
various aspects of how vines and grapes grow and how we manage the vineyard and
provide time for asking questions. This "walkabout" through the vineyard leads to the winery
itself. Here the tour leader will point out the key equipment and give a quick overview of red
and white winemaking at Three Fox Vineyards. If there is a suitable wine in tank or barrel
then a tank / barrel tasting will be included in the tour (participants should bring along their
souvenir glasses for this). After the winery the tour will head back along the scenic route
(up over the high hill past the "Table in the Sky") and down to the Tasting Room.

Total tour time is estimated at 45 minutes and should bring the tour participants into the
Tasting Room going on 2 PM to enjoy their tasting of our delicious, hand crafted wines.
The fee for this fun and educational tour is $15 per person.
