The Drink List

We don’t know about you, but after last year, we are just itching to get out there and try new restaurants. But where to go? There are tons of locally sourced restaurants, cafés, and hotspots that have opened in the past year, and we did the dirty work of finding them for you! From Richmond to the Highlands, we put together a killer list of new restaurants that are sure to satisfy any foodie!

Fall has officially arrived, and our October events list is loaded with ways for you to celebrate the harvest — we’ve got wine, we’ve got cider, we’ve got apple picking and pumpkin patching… it even kicks off with a Crab Carnival! There are lots of ways to get outdoors this month. Check out our full list of events below, and get out there and enjoy!

Here in Virginia, we’re lucky to have a truly world-class seafood resource right at our big, briny doorstep. But today we’re specifically talking that bodacious bivalve, the Virginia oyster: delectable raw or cooked, longtime quarry of the legendary Chesapeake Bay watermen, and a vital player in the Bay’s precious ecosystem.
