The Dine List

You may not know it, but 2020 is a banner year for Virginia Spirits. It commemorates 400 years of distilling in Virginia. No, that’s not a typo. The first recorded distillery was founded in 1620 in Southampton, Virginia. George Thorpe stated in a letter to The Virginia Company that he made a “goode drinke of Indian corne,” aka WHISKEY! What better way to celebrate that heritage than with a boozy celebration of one of Virginia’s oldest and proudest industries? Enter Virginia Spirits Month!

December is here and it’s full of holiday light-peeping, food-eating, bevy-drinking, and lots of gatherings and celebrations. In Virginia, there is plenty to choose from for a festive outing — holiday light shows, visits with Santa, bar crawls, and plenty of sweet treats. As we wrap up the old year and ring in the new, we hope you and yours enjoy the festivities this month has to offer.

Foodies are in luck because September is packed with foodie events and activities in Virginia. We’re talking food truck battles, oyster roasts, apple harvest festivals, beer benefits, and more unique foodie throwdowns all across the state.

Making the decision to be a GOOD farmer who is a responsible steward to the animals you raise is not necessarily the easiest choice, but it is the GOOD choice. Here in the Commonwealth of Virginia, we have some incredible farmers that are producing good food for a better foodie future.
