December 2023 Foodie Events in Virginia
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 the adventure and have breakfast with Santa. Whatever you choose, there is plenty to see and do before that final New Year’s Eve countdown.
