The Grow List

Gelati Celesti Ice Cream, a Richmond-based and family-owned craft ice cream maker, will open a store in Virginia Beach at Hilltop West. The store will open over the Memorial Day weekend–just in time for ice cream season!

Fall in Virginia is a sight to behold, and we think there’s no better way to explore it’s natural beauty than with a leaf-peeping road trip. Rich in history and full of modern charm, Culpeper is an easy ride from all points in Virginia, DC, and Baltimore. It’s the perfect destination for a quick autumn getaway!

Hey foodies! Fellow foodie Nomarama has a new video series for all local food lovers, so obviously, we had to share the news! It’s called Just Dropping In, and the first episode just dropped. Tune in every other Sunday for a new episode. In the meantime, you can find more foodie videos on their Youtube channel.

As Spring rolls in, areas all around Virginia are celebrating with outdoor food, wine, beer, and music festivals. This month is packed full of foodie activities for everyone to enjoy, so get outside and start eating! 

The season of gifting – and eating! – is upon us, and December is the perfect time for a winter market trip for local holiday gifts. But this month is not all about the shopping; we’ve got plenty of date night ideas (craft cocktail lessons, anyone?) or bring the kids along for adventures in baking or a visit with the jolly old elf himself. Whatever you choose, there is plenty to see and do before that final New Year’s Eve countdown.
