September Foodie Events

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.

Besides the obvious (wine..hello…) visiting wineries has become a place for hanging with friends and family, eating cute little snack spreads, enjoying the beautiful weather and of course, getting a pic for the gram. We’ve seen quite a few scenic shots in our day, but these wineries take the cake. Take a look at 8 of our favorite wineries in Virginia that set the background for hitting all the best angles. Go on and get grammin’ while the getting’s good.

Do you love fall? Of course you do! Toast to the harvest with a glass of Virginia Wine to kick off Virginia Wine Month in style. We cover everything you need to know about Virginia Wine Month: its history, the best pairings and a few ideas for throwing your own harvest party to celebrate all the things that make fall in the Commonwealth so special.
