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!

District Taco, a popular fast-casual Mexican restaurant based in the Washington D.C. Metro and Greater Philadelphia areas, has introduced their newest menu item, Itza – Beyond Carne. The plant-based vegan protein made with Beyond Meat will be available at all District Taco locations starting January 1, 2020. The restaurant chain is committed to being a delicious, accommodating dining option for all customers.

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.
